Yes worth a punt but where do the development costs come from? The council would have to spend - If they sold the Oval and used the money from that it would not impact the tax payer.
You are the expert in construction finance so you will know but surely the club will never have the money to build a ground of their own.
As for Gala fields- worth a shot but not a simple process and imo they wouldn't get planning permission anyway.. The club could raise some money ( they have 25 grand so far) and spend it on architects schemes and planning consultants long before a brick is laid or a pitch laid out.I
Not an easy thing to achieve a new ground and the LA might not be too interested in helping an institution financially that is patronised by 500 people out of a population of around 90 thousand, and which has suffered several financial collapses in its modern history
Time will tell though I siuppose.
