Obviously you would ask them first and I'm working on the assumption it would be, at least in theory, temporary and we'd be renting.

Given their financial issues I suspect they'd jump at the chance of some extra income and passing the responsibility for maintaining the pitch and facilities to someone else.

They? Owners and council I guess you mean.

But what about the people of Nuneaton and Nuneaton Boro fans?

AFC Wimbledon stadium holds 4850 and with standing at Nuneaton they say it holds 4614 with 516 seats. League one rules state that .... must have a certified capacity of at least 4,000 (with the ability to be increased to 5,000) which shall include at least 500 seats. so not much work would be needed

Sorry, but it may have been discussed before. Is woodlands school big enough to have a stadium built? Just a thought for when we get bought

Yeah and 5,000 is perfect for those 20,000 plus community days and if we draw Chelsea or Man U in the cup.

If there is talk of Nuneaton it has to be superceded by talk of the Butts.

Where there's a will there's a way.

Theresa May said it.

You would definitely need more Police, there will probably be a Nuneaton mob waiting for us after every match.

I really think it IS time that Twitter is split into two and we have a Twitter for normal people and Twatter for all the twats.

It would all be much simpler.

Depends on your perspective. If you like you SBT board members to have tunnel vision, no scope for discussion and the notion that their idea of events is the ONLY version that happened then yes - he’s probably the man for you.

Perhaps it’s no wonder the Trust and the owners have such a fractured relationship. Peas from the same pod.
