0:00:07 > 0:00:08Good evening.

0:00:08 > 0:00:11Fans of Coventry City Football Club are trying to come to terms

0:00:11 > 0:00:14with the reality that their team has been relegated to the fourth tier

0:00:14 > 0:00:18of English football, for the first time in 54 years.

0:00:18 > 0:00:21Many are furious with the club's owners SISU who have presided over

0:00:21 > 0:00:23the continued downward spiral.

0:00:23 > 0:00:33Kevin Reide reports.

0:00:34 > 0:00:36Another protest another match at the Ricoh, but this time

0:00:36 > 0:00:37Coventry simply had to win.

0:00:37 > 0:00:40George Thomas's goal gave them a glimmer of hope but Charlton

0:00:40 > 0:00:42equalised and the one-one result sent Coventry down.

0:00:42 > 0:00:43We just ran out of games.

0:00:43 > 0:00:46Whilst it is majorly disappointing, it is not

0:00:46 > 0:00:50a surprise and we have to move on, take it on the chin and rebuild.

0:00:50 > 0:00:55Just a fortnight ago Coventry won

0:00:55 > 0:00:58the Checkatrade Trophy at Wembley and it's thirty years this year

0:00:58 > 0:01:01since they won the FA Cup under managers George Curtis and John

0:01:01 > 0:01:01Sillett.

0:01:01 > 0:01:03Today Mr Sillett told me he'd sobbed yesterday

0:01:04 > 0:01:05when relegation was confirmed.

0:01:05 > 0:01:11Relegation takes them to the lowest point in their 140 year history.

0:01:11 > 0:01:14What would Jimmy Hill be thinking?

0:01:14 > 0:01:20He rocketed the club from the lower leagues into the top echelons

0:01:20 > 0:01:21of English football.

0:01:21 > 0:01:22Jimmy Hill, oh dear.

0:01:22 > 0:01:27He would be absolutely devastated, as we all are.

0:01:27 > 0:01:32The football club is for everyone and

0:01:32 > 0:01:36sometimes money can get in the way of that and this is the case we see.

0:01:36 > 0:01:46They do need to go really.

0:01:47 > 0:01:49In six matches they have only lost one in

0:01:49 > 0:01:52all competitions so I think there is a glimmer of hope.

0:01:52 > 0:01:54The club now has to attract fans to matches

0:01:54 > 0:01:57against the likes of Accrington, Grimsby and Barnet, it will be

0:01:57 > 0:01:59difficult as they won't be reducing season ticket prices.

0:02:25 > 0:02:28player - the most caring and compassionate daughter.

0:02:52 > 0:02:54career she had had up to this point.

0:02:56 > 0:02:59around Biblical studies.
