Not looking good for them, they have been served an eviction notice and had to move their game last night at the last minute to Hinckley.

Ah, was trying to think as to why this happened.

Is that a rumour or a fact?

'Eviction letter' served at home of Nuneaton Boro FC amid last minute game move

The notice has been spotted on gates at the Liberty Way stadium

It's hard to understand how it's gone so wrong for them over the last 20 years. I thought they were fairly well supported as a non league club but it seems to have been all downhill since that cup run in the 2006?

Every other signing was a washed up ex pro, fully expecting Biamou to rock up there soon

5 managers in 19 years until 2014. 9 in 9 years since (8 of which were over a 4 year period). Basket case.

Remember when that random fella seemed to own them for a bit and then vanished?

The ground or headlease Nuneaton play under is owned by Arden Tigress Ltd which just seems to be some property ownership vehicle. The directors' other interests appear to be in manufacturing of underwater drilling equipment.

Does that Smurthwaite fella still own the ground?

Shame really. Nuneaton is a town of 88k yet they have an utterly shite football team.

I wouldn’t be shocked if it’s over 100k now as every spare inch is being built on

A lot of the people here though move to the area following other sides, my son has lived in Nuneaton all his life but has not interest from n them at all. I can’t see what the future is for them the local people just aren’t interested and I guess the group of locals that are funding it are getting fed up throwing good money after bad, they are rich people but not football rich.

Went to watch them the other week during the international break. I think the crowd was 850 odd which isn't bad for Southern League level. That being said, it was half price entry (£7) for City/Villa/Leicester etc ST holders so I'm unsure how many came as a one off like I did.

They seem to go bust quite regularly which, given the size of the club relative to other non league teams, they really shouldn't!

They try to live well beyond their means and don’t seem to be smart enough to try to build a good relationship with the city as players like Rus and others should be there learning their trade in men’s football and could go back training with city in the week.

Also been plenty of dodgy stuff going on there in the past.

Hard to feel that sorry for them tbh, half their fanbase are Leicester fans who’ve zero time for us and the stunt they pulled signing Lee Hughes was a complete and utter disgrace and a middle finger to CCFC

Rather see Leam do well over Nuneaton any day of the week

Yes, I went there once. It was just a nuclear power station.

I saw where fans from other non league clubs and Stockport County fans were buying tickets to the next few games even though they are not going to attend just to try and help the club out

They are playing their FA Trophy game at the CBS on the 9th. A nice gesture by the club i think.

It's the least Ashley can do given how much Lonsdale gear he punts in treacle Town.

I would like to go unless I get dragged out Christmas shopping, always followed the Warwickshire clubs and always want them to do well
