An excellent summary of events AV & very helpful.

I just want to clear up one point now...I am not advocating that the Club harbours 'grandiose' plans for a 2000-seater Stadium, I am just trying to explain the process & yes, you are correct in referring to a 5000 capacity stadium.

For clarity:

FUTURE PROOFING

The FA's football pyramid requirements dictate the process.

Ultimately, the limit of Nuneaton Town FC CIC's ambitions could be membership of the EFL Championship, which requires a 5000 capacity Stadium, including 2000 seats & an increased floodlighting requirement of potentially 500 lux.

This will need a suitable site which could gain a satisfactory Planning Permission.

Anything less than this will leave the future-proofing of the new Club hamstrung for future generations/custodians.

The wrong decisions made now could impact adversely in the future.

That is my point.

Realism is needed I agree but a greater understanding of the essential requirements for progression upwards through the pyramid are vital at this early stage.

I give you Burton Albion & Yeovil Town as examples of what could ultimately be achieved, both Clubs have played in the Championship.

...& yes AV, Nuneaton is a big town, a footballing town with a population of circa 90000
