"I have stated that I believe the new Club should look to stay at The Oval for at least another 5 years."

OK, you have no idea of the thinking within the club (and I don't have an in depth knowledge either). Let's play pretend. I do know for certain that the plan was always to move back to Nuneaton, preferably on a ground owned by the club. So, what if that planning began immediately? What if stadium ideas have already been made? And a potential site identified? Maybe even with a nod from the council? If you had been anywhere near Boro this season, you would know that we don't need a full stadium with 5,000 capacity initially. We could build a Step 4 compliant ground as a starting point with potential to improve and enhance later.

With finance, it's not impossible for that to be ready by the end of next season. If that happens, you still want us to play at The Oval for a further 4 or 5 years? Really? As I said, sometimes (particularly when you don't have all the facts) you really need to keep those thoughts inside your head.

And as for EFL - are you still banging that empty drum just for the sake of making noise? Please stop - it's a fantasy in your brain just as much as Lord of the Rings was for Tolkien. It has never happened in the past and it will never happen in our lifetimes. Just let it go - it makes you look stupid just for mentioning it!
