Moving from Manor Park was not the problem - moving to a poor ground on the other side of town which was not the traditional support base was- the stats don’t lie - Liberty way was not liked and crowds there were nothing like seen at Manor Park - it amazed me just how few attended games when Neal and Wilkin gave the club top flight non league again.
Many couldn’t be arsed to travel to the other side of town and I know individuals who have me that reason for giving up watching run of the mill games. It’s probably as easy to go to Beduth as it was to drive from West Nuneaton to Liberty way. Not a problem for doe hards though.
The whole Liberty way experience was poor - poor atmosphere - no main stand and a hell of a trek along a shell hole infested driveway which was dangerous, especially at night.
For me getting the location of any new ground could make or break the new club IF it ever wants to return to the higher echelons of non league football.
Sadly sites are at a premium and it’s not going to be easy.
