Is it a crime to have knowledge?
Is it a crime to have watched Boro for years but only to be totally exasperated and pissed off by yet another financial collapse?
Is it a crime to wish the new club well although not paying to watch them?
Is it a crime to have an interest in the procurement of a new ground for the club?
VOR like others has skin in the game - he’s a former long time supporter like me.
My reasons are slightly different for not yet joining the new bandwagon but I tell you this- I hope they go from strength to strength and give all those who want it something they can be proud of.
I still don’t totally trust the new incarnation; there are still those involved who were involved with the last collapsed club and imo still have questions to answer.
Having 500 fans turning up to low level non league football is impressive but other failed reborn clubs have had far better support at lower levels.
500 will serve you well now but will be distinctly average when returning to Southern premiership central and inconsequential if Boro did get back to nat north. The Boro fan base despite some younger members is ageing. Will the club ever attract new supporters if it only ever offers village league football?
For many years Boro/ town have represented the largest town in Warwickshire but had acted like a club representing a village - playing tiny towns and village teams.
And all the total screw ups and financial calamities has totally shredded the reputation of the club both in Nuneaton and further afield.
I like VORs input - I don’t agree with everything he says but with a construction background myself and an architectural academic background I’m always willing to listen to what he says. I don’t agree with his view on chasing a football league type ground but I do think that a conf north ground should be planned for. But as the sage of all things non league and Boro VS has said many times- football changes and clubs can move forward and backwards.
Boro have moved backwards generally for years but who’s to say that one day they might actually become a success and that locals follow the story in greater numbers when the product offered is good.
There are many good people down at the new club who due to their long standing support deserve some success - I know some of those involved with the coop - good people who do good work - they deserve a successful club.
And just remember it’s unlikely, very unlikely but you can never say never - there are plenty of examples of well run clubs who have bi passed Boro/town and gone higher - it can happen.
It can’t be easy running a club like Town/ Boro and we’re all to ready to criticise former incumbents who we believe made horrendous mistakes- many did and it is totally acceptable to criticise them.
It’s early days for the new club and so far it all looks good - there’s a long way to go and that’s why so many former and current supporters are so interested- VOR is one such individual.
The new club MUST be realistic but that doesn’t mean they can’t be aspirational.
For me if the new club comes back to Nuneaton and comes back into its historic fan base area then it will grow again and prosper - if it ends up back out on a limb like at Liberty way it will stagnate.
Time will tell but even though I’m no longer a stalwart supporter I still back the institution to rise again. I don’t believe anyone who’s ever regularly watched the Boro doesn’t believe that.

Perhaps due to Boros history the club should use rip it up and start again as it’s run out song🤔
