They are stood in front of a Village Hotel sign, which is next to a Starbucks. 

The firm's Coventry branch, as captured by Google Maps, looks very similar.

Downes went on to thank supporters who had contributed towards the Squad Builder, which he said "would give ammunition" when meeting players. 

"We showed at the back end of last season how strong we are as a football club when we all come together," said Downes.

"We had unbelievable support and it got us over the line.

"What I want moving forward is for all of us to maintain that and take this into the new season. I really appreciate any bit of money you can give.

"I know how hard it is at the moment. With your hard earned we all make sure we use it as best we can."
