Not really. In my opinion they should run their club properly. Too many clubs are overspending.

A much more pleasant experience than say Hornchurch's double glazing stadium. In terms of what you said, actually I couldn't agree more  |

Well, another option would be to ground share, like they did with Bristol Rovers when they were in trouble. Funnily enough, it was reported that there was a possibility that they would share with Bath Rugby which didn't go down too well with the rugby fans!!
I agree that the stadium has a spirit to it but that photo is very flattering-I think someone photoshopped some grass on the pitch!

"They" doesn't really cover the people who actually care about the club, i.e. the fans.
I know this is the old "sympathise with the fans" argument, but that's just my opinion.

Doesn't the article say they've been losing money for 50 years? I think the fans have had plenty of time to do something about it. Although its not necessarily the case today fans would have been heavily involved in the club. I don't know Who runs the club at the moment and don't really care

It is a big old ground but a bit like Sandy Lane did is beinning to fall into disrepair. I suspect it would be worth a few bob when the property developers come calling & I don't see how they have any other option. However, they do need to ensure they have a new ground to move to or they could end up like Horsham currently are. Homeless, playing at YMCA for the forseeable future.

A few years ago I saw Team Bath play a home game there, against Maidenhead United. There were 108 spectators and I've never seen a ground look so empty.

How's our club run? 50 years FFS. Sorry but that is an absolute joke |

I wasn't talking about our club, JR. We're very lucky to have the set-up we do.
