Coventry City Football Club was founded in 1883, however at the time the club was known as the ‘Singers’ as the players for the team were employees of a cycle manufacturer called Singers. The club turned professional in 1891 and changed it’s name to Coventry City FC in 1898 when it moved to it’s new home ground of Highfield Road. This stadium would be it’s home ground until 2005 when Coventry City moved to the new Ricoh Arena which has a capacity of approximately 32,500.
