Let me explain...

If The Oval needs upgrading to Level 7/Step 3 then that conversation needs to be had now, even if the decision is to 'wait & see' what develops on the field.

It would be good to know just exactly what ground-grading The Oval has at present?

If the Town secure another promotion next season, then they will be at Level 8/Step 4.

That will focus the mind!

If an upgrade is necessary, that work will need to paid for...by whom?

The Stadium is owned by NBBC.

Also, what could be the extent of the works required & how long will it take & are any permissions necessary for the works?

IMO, this needs to be resolved now, one way or the other?

Just my thoughts!

Edit:

The Town need to keep two plates spinning:-

1...The new Stadium.

2...The long-term suitability of playing at The Oval.

IMO, the new Stadium could take 5-10 years to become a reality.
