Coventry City are back in the Premier League after 25 years
Coventry City have been promoted back into the Premier League a quarter of a century after they were relegated
Coventry City will return to the Premier League next season after they sealed promotion from the Championship with three games to spare. Their 25-year journey back to English Football's top division hasn't been without drama. At one point they were relegated to the fourth tier and came close to dropping out of the English Football League altogether. They went into administration in 2013 and also had to endure two ground shares at Birmingham and Northampton.
The BBC’s Delyth Lloyd is joined by Coventry City commentator Rob Gurney and former Sky Blues striker Patrick Suffo to reflect on the club being back in the big time.
