A special BBC CWR radio documentary about the trails and tribulations facing Coventry City Football Club in their battle for their football stadium has been aired and features the music from The Enemy throughout the hour long special.
Iconic tunes such as Aggro and Away From Here featured alongside the Sky Blues anthem song We'll Live And Die In These Towns, as the story of that journey from administration and homeless from the arena to finally coming back home to Coventry. The Enemy also performed live to home fans on Tuesday 4th November at the Coventry Building Society Arena. Tom Clarke described the moment as humbling and strange. Days later The Enemy performed two sell out gigs in Coventry as delighted fans celebrated both Coventry City Football Club and The Enemy returned to their rightful place in Coventry.
