The best option for NTFC at the moment (IMO) is to plan for a long stay at The Oval (a minimum of another 5 years) & allocate funds to pay for works to upgrade the Stadium to Level 7/Step 3.

That will give the supporters the comfort of knowing that the new Club's future home in the short-term is guaranteed.

If the Town can secure a further 5-year Agreement (with a 10-year Option) to stay at The Oval, they can also apply to the Football Foundation for Grants to upgrade The Oval to Level 7/Step 3, if improvement works are necessary.

That will take the pressure off chasing the dream at Vale View.

Again (IMO) once the cost of remediating the Vale View site to bring it forward for Development has been properly costed, following the study work that needs to be undertaken & paid for by NTFC, the possibility of building a new Stadium on that site can be assessed as to whether it is commercially viable.

In the meantime, at least they can still continue to build a future at The Oval.
