I honestly did not think we'd get this far OFF the field, so soon. It is a credit to those now running the club, to the staff and all of the squad, the volunteers and the fans who are attending that we have done so.

This amount of progress so far, given the immediate past is of course impressive. But just think: if only 50% of those still self-flagellating and punishing themselves (and us) by staying away joined those of us giving it a go this season, they would accelerate the Back to Nuneaton goal even further. I understand their scepticism I really do-but we cannot as a club conjure up a Fighting Fund out of thin air. We need everyone who cares back on board.

There's no great hardship (other than a psychological one), in watching our football temporarily at The Oval. They treat us well there. The bar and the grub is decent. Access and parking is easy. The football frankly, has been great compared to the last 2-3 seasons.

The "If Only" btw refers to that ghost stadium slowly rotting away behind Eastboro' Way. It definitely isn't MP. The Biscuit Tin definitely wasn't the CABE. But returning there still holds out more promise than taking binoculars along to The Pingles for every home game. What a chronic waste of time and resources this stalemate situation is. All to feed a few individuals' wounded pride. No-one, NO-ONE is profiting from leaving it empty.

Would it cost £1.5 to salvage/restore/rebuild it? As it stands, what a ridiculous monument to bad planning, lack of vision, sheer stupidity and brute ignorance it has become. Far from perfect as it was. No use to anyone as it is.
