I believe that the Town playing permanently at the Oval would be the least problematic solution for NBBC.

I say that because in Councillor Bannister's statement he refers to a permanent home within the Borough (not the town?).

Any other option would put a great deal of emphasis/the onus on NTFC to back up their plans/ambitions/aspirations financially, in the long-term, given the Council have offered a 49-year lease on Vale View.

This will also be a requirement for any Grant applications, particularly with the Football Foundation, who have very strict conditions for awarding Grants.

So, what is NTFC CIC (limited by guarantee) Ltd's future succession plans, beyond the existing Board members, who will continue their hard work & dedication in future years/generations, to ensure the Club continues its progression?

No matter what the current opinion is about a merger between the Town & the Greenbacks, putting emotion to one side, practicalities might force both Clubs down that route at some point?

As a reminder, the 3G pitch at the Oval will need to be renewed in 10 years time & funds will need to be accumulated over that period, to pay for the work. I assume Bedworth United are planning for that requirement by continuing on with their Retention Fund?

Just my thoughts!
