If we do move from the Crown Ground, that would free-up that area for residential development, which should bring in a nice sale fee for the Council. No wonder they are keen for us to move ... but it means that they could part-fund the redevelopment of the Sports Centre site so that it better meets the needs of the community while Ilyas' money develops the site for the training facilities that the team need so much.

What an incredible vision for the Club. It's humbling to think that one person can 'donate' this to the Club, no strings, no conditions, no 'thank you's necessary.

Now compare it to the vision for the Club that we had 12 months ago.

How can people be indifferent to what happens in the Boardroom? Even those people who want to just concentrate on the team must accept that the players have the right to be paid on time; that players are not forced to move to another Club to pay their own bills/mortgage; and that Coley has a playing budget which means that not only can we continue to compete in this league, but survive as a League 1 Club.

Only one of these visions can make this possible.
