An agreement of a two-year deal with the company that runs the stadium, Arena Coventry Limited, was reached, with a possible extension until 2018. Their first match, back at the Ricoh Arena was against Gillingham on Friday, 5th September and was shown live on Sky Sports. The following month, the rugby union Premiership club Wasps made a £30 million offer to purchase the majority of the stadium, subject to approval from the owners, ACL shareholders. Coventry City Council unanimously approved the sale on 7th October 2014. On 14th November 2014 Wasps confirmed the purchase, to become outright owners of the facility, with Coventry City FC, as tenants. Wasps played their first match there on 21st December 2014.)
