Think 70s is the man to follow in this thread but I totally agree regarding s106 money -
All this talk of a new Nuneaton ground is all related to what the LA can offer in terms of help . I can’t see for one minute the LA provide if any funding whatsoever as money is tight.
I see any help being in the shape of a piece of land leased to the club, although facilities such as 4 g pitches available to the Towns inhabitants would certainly help. As VS says sites are few and far between and most are bounded by established residential areas and history shows us that prospective new Boro grounds are never flavour of the month for local residents.

Get together with Beduth and the council- flog the oval for much needed housing and use the money to build a council owned new facility between the two towns with 4 g pitches and corporate facilities etc. Both clubs rent the new ground and procure grants to develop.
Problems are green belt land between the new town and Beduth fc probably wouldn’t entertain it. The Oval is not a registered park or garden but there is no consent regime if it was. Sometimes you have to think out of the box. Just think a superb football and sports centre tucked in between Muda park and the A444 in the corner - heaven for both towns - good transport links and out of the way of houses. Who knows or dares to dream.
For me Gala fields and Vale view would stir local residents into large scale opposition but no harm in trying.
