Am I the only person reading the OP brainfart of an idea as:-
1. Get the Council to pay us to leave The Shay
2. Get the Council to overturn the covenant on Saville Park
3. Get the Council to build us a new ground
The result being
1. We mickey off numerous local amateur clubs that use Saville Park
2. We lose out on corporate facilties, club shop & dining
3. We lose out when we play Leigh or Bradford due to the 2000 capacity
4. We're still in a council owned & run ground that's just smaller than The Shay & will cost a helluva lot of money to expand up to The Shay's standards
5. We pay £25 to watch Fax cos we have no dining or corporate facilities and the club shop is a car boot

Fair assessment. Except that £25 still won't be enough to run a competitive side.
