I know you lot won't be too worried about this, but as some of you know, I go to all the home games of my local club here on the IoW. It's because I love watching footie and these games are real blood and thunder! However, recent news has emerged that Newport (IW) now have to leave their ground by Aug 1st 2017. This is because the owner of the ground basically wants to sell up. Newport currently rent the ground from SCL, the owners.
It is a little club that has been around since 1888, with the proud fact that Brendan Rogers used to play for them. However they now have this bombshell to sort out, and for a little club that has an average home crowd of 100+, it is sad news.
So, when you have thoughts about the problems of CCFC, just remember, small clubs also face the same problems. http://www.iwcp.co.uk/news/news/new...en-notice-to-leave-st-georges-park-96870.aspx

Oh dear get the Lawyers in.
On the face of it the Owners seem to have tried to offer a reasonable solution.
If the Club want the new facilities to have three pitches Can't they raise the extra through grants, crowdfunding etc.
I wondered about that Wingy. Seems like a good offer, but I bet there's more to it than meets the eye. I mean, who wouldn't accept an offer like that? Anyhoos, the club released this statement a couple of days ago......... http://www.niowfc.com/2016/11/23/reassurance-from-the-chairman/
