No tradition of Cov support in Nuneaton?- I well remember the time city won the cup - the shop next to my school at the time was bedecked in sky blue - I have friends, Nuneaton born and bred who support city and the railway station was packed with Nun people in sky blue the last time they played at Wembley . There is a Villa tradition too - buses used to take Nuneaton people to Villa park years ago. And as I-know well coming from a County Durham family there is also a Nuneaton Tradition of Newcastle and Sunderland support due to the many mining families that moved to Nuneaton to work in local pits - about 30 years ago a coach used to run from Nuneaton to Sunderland games.
As for future pricing - sorry but VOR is right - it would be folly to get planning g permission for a ground holding 1500 people only for pal no g permission. To be denied 10 years later if the club needed to expand the ground- it’s just common sense.
As for the Council helping Boro- why the hell should they? They sold Manor Park for peanuts to the club with a covenant - the club screwed that up. Why should tax payers money be spent on anything related to an institution patronised by 500 people that has a huge track record of failure.
Boro will never grow again if southern prem central is the only ceiling.
