A generation of Coventry City fans won't remember the 1987 FA Cup Final, the Keith Houchen diving header beating a slick Tottenham side 3-2 in a thrilling final.

It was one of the best finals of the modern era, but young fasn now will be inclined to remember the EFL Trophy win in 2017 and perhaps the Wembley play-off final last season.

It's a sad fall from grace for a side who once played in the top flight for five decades, but they're heading in the right direction on the field. For 90 minutes on a Saturday the Sky Blues fans are being treated to a competitive side putting in committed and entertaining performances.

They've kept themselves in touch with the top six, recently kicking on and stating a real claim for a play-off place. They've got just one defeat in eight matches to their name and are a single point behind Doncaster.

Tantalisingly, they travel to the Keepmoat on the final day of the season. There's excitement in the air at the Ricoh whenever Mark Robins' side play. They could achieve something this season, they might even ascend to the Championship once more.

Once the 90 minutes of action is over, it's a bittersweet moment for their fans. They can walk away knowing their immediate future is exciting, a possible promotion push is on the cards. Look any further than a six week period though, and there's huge problems.

The issue with the owners of the Ricoh Arena hasn't been solved. As yet, Coventry City have nowhere to play next season.

Owners SISU have been in a battle with Wasps rugby club and the owners of the stadium for some time now. Their move away from Highfield Road has brought nothing but despair and uncertainty.

They've had a spell playing in Northampton and this week met Coventry City Council to discuss a relocation of some sort.

It isn't of any comfort to the long-suffering fans who have seen their club reduced to a political pawn in a game being played by the owners. They're treated as a commodity, squatters in a home that was meant to deliver them a bright future.

In the short-term, fans can be hopeful and exited, but beyond the summer those same supporters have a cloudy and uncertain future ahead of them.
