We've definitely never played at The Ricoh before. It didn't open until 2005 and the last time we played them away was in 2002.

The Ricoh is a really smart ground, shame it's absolutely miles away from the city centre.

Very strange. I didn't go to that game so I'm not speaking from personal memory but that game was on the 8th of September 2001.This is an extract from the Ricoh Arena's Wiki page, which I realise is not always the most reliable source of information but should really be on this.
Quoted Text
Originally built as a replacement for Coventry City's Highfield Road ground, the stadium was initially operated by Arena Coventry Limited (ACL), with Coventry City as tenants. ACL was owned jointly by Coventry City Council and the Higgs Charity. The stadium hosted its first football match in August 2005. The official opening was performed by Dame Kelly Holmes and sports minister Richard Caborn on 24 February 2007, by which time the arena had already hosted a sell-out England U21 football match against Germany as well as a full season of Coventry City matches.

Curioser and curioser. I've just dug my copy of the ptogramme out and although there is no picture of the ground one of the pages is called "Around Highfield Road" consisting of up to date news. Is it possible that Ricoh sponsored Highfield Road before the new stadium was built?

The game was 100% at Highfield Road. Remember it well.
Think that screenshot from Sky you've put up just defaults to "Ricoh Arena" as that's their ground on their database. If you seach Arsenal v Tottenham 1998 it reckons it was played at the Emirates Stadium.

That's clearly an unreliable source. It has Butterfield and Bothroyd in goal. Our keeper was Coyne and I'm pretty sure theirs was that lad who later played in goal for Liverpool when we beat them.
