The Borough has featured in the forum on 'nonleaguematters' .

I've chipped in with this, with which no doubt some people will not agree :

Harrow Borough could try and get a groundshare at Hillingdon Borough's ground at the 'Middlesex Stadium in Ruislip. It could benefit both clubs financially and is not too far from Harrow's current ground, although transport would probably be required for many currently going to grand old Earlsmead.

Alternatively, the future demand for Rayners Lane's ground could be uncertain, subject to the prospects for the current two clubs playing there.

In the further distanced future, Wealdstone may get their new stadium at Hillingdon and Grosvenor Vale could become available, which would be near perfect.

No doubt local demographics are an important factor in the modest gates at Harrow Borough, but the shortage of people able or willing to get involved in volunteering means that the many ideas to improve the fortunes for the Borough (and other clubs too) don't get developed as they could be.

Maybe finding and attracting some young Indian/Pakistani heritage youths, with the required skill levels to be selected to play, would generate some local interest.

If, in the end, the current generation of generous supporters and sponsors pass on and then there is insufficient interest in semi-pro non-league football to make it viable in the Harrow area, does it really matter ?
It will have served its purpose to those who cared.
