There is a quotation (from Ted Lasso" that says "it is the hope that kills you." It is a pipe dream to think that Staines and Laleham FC will ever return to the borough. There is no chance of anyone building a new stadium. Even if there were the club cannot afford their share of building such a stadium unless someone wins the lottery and decides to spend most of their winnings on gifting a stadium. Wheatsheaf Park, including the freehold will be sold. The current incumbents, Brentford, are in pole position to buy the freehold. The Thames Club continue to lose money. A number of directors have resigned, including those with a Downings collection. Unless there is a miracle and the gym starts to make money, continuation for the business will lead to administrators being appointedd who will realise the only worthwhile asset on the books, the freehold of Wheatsheaf Park. Alternatively the new directors will immediately pursue a plan to sell the freehold before the administration occurs. Again Staines and Laleham FC. are not in a postition to buy the freehold. In either case football in the borough for a local team is finished. Romeo Romeo wherefore art thou Romeo, I am coming to sit with your Dad too watch you.
