À propos de cet audio

Where have Coventry City actually played? And why does it matter so much to supporters?

In this episode, we explore every ground that's been home to the Sky Blues – from the club's earliest days as Singers FC in 1883, right through to today's Coventry Building Society Arena.

Discover:

  • The humble beginnings at Dowells Field and Stoke Road Ground in the 1880s
  • Highfield Road – Coventry's legendary home for 106 years, including that record crowd of 51,455 in 1967!
  • Why Highfield Road became the first all-seater stadium in English league football
  • The difficult years playing "home" matches in Northampton and Birmingham
  • How Coventry City finally bought their own stadium in 2025
  • What makes Singers' Corner so special – and that unforgettable moment when The Enemy performed before a match

This is the story of how a football club's home is about more than just bricks and seats – it's about identity, community, and the fans who carry the spirit of "home" wherever they go.

Perfect for young Sky Blues learning about the club's history, and anyone who wants to understand why stadiums matter so much to football fans.
