As mentioned the relationship between Nuns and the Boro was okay for one season, that was when we moved in. They were pretty excited has there ground by their standards was getting a mega face lift without them spending a penny plus from what I heard they could use the Boro facilities like changing rooms for cheap as chips... poor business from Boro that, no wonder we went bang at the end of that year.

When then the new club coming into action as Nuneaton Town, Ian Neale tore up whatever deal there was stating with it being a new club the old agreement with the Nuns no longer existed. A new offer was put on the table which was hell of lot more than the Nuns were prepared to pay, it was a take it or leave it offer from Neale who if I'm being honest was not bothered if the Nuns played there or not. In face maybe even wanted them out. After that the war began, after that even with different chairman or owners at the club. The nuns tried to negotiate a new deal, but the same terms applied, eventually Nuns took the childish route with the old skip gate trying to force their terms once again and almost holding the club to ransom. Eventually something was agreed but even then terms that were agreed the Nuns still weren't satisfised. Obviously for years they been hatching this plan to get Liberty Way back, even if it meant somehow kicking us out. They got what they wanted but now have shot themselves in the foot with it. They are playing in a ground too big for them, paying for a pitch they cannot afford sucking up the playing budget.

Don't rule an random offer come on table in the summer for a possible Town return. They may look at the situation now and realise staying and paying the rent alone at Liberty Way may kill off the Nuns.
