Default Re: Mandate for the Groves training ground

It is a tricky question!

Thought process for me:
Will it be better than what we have? Yes.
Will it have security of long term lease? Yes
Have other sites been assessed? No idea.
Is the council gifting the land? Basically yes.
Is the council gifting the land as they want us off the 9 Acre to build a school? Yes
If we were not being booted off would we be looking to move as a priority? Probably not.
If we were not being booted with a gift of the land would that site be top of the list to look to acquire? Probably not.
Could we afford to buy land elsewhere? Not sure, if we have several hundred grand to spend to improve the Groves could we own somewhere and grow from there?
Does this al mean that its a good deal? Possibly as we dont have the cost to buy land.
Have we looked what other freeholds or long term land leases we could acquire? No idea.
Is it big enough for now? Yes
Is it big enough for what I think the ambitions of the club might want to expand to? No.
They go on...!

I don't think there is enough information out there for anyone to make anything apart from an emotional answer.

If the information is somewhere I will take a look and then pop a vote
