The second part of Back Where We Belong from BBC CWR covers the years when Coventry City moved from Highfield Road to the Ricoh Arena.
For fans, leaving Highfield Road was more than just a stadium move, it was saying goodbye to their home for over 100 years.
Opened in 2005, the new 32,500-seat stadium symbolised hope, even boasting claims that its signage was so large it could be seen from the moon.
The Sky Blues began life at the Ricoh Arena, now named the Coventry Building Society Arena, with a win over Queens Park Rangers.
However, what was meant to be a new beginning for the club became the start of another turbulent chapter.
