Being an ex-Haringey Boy who has still has a few connections in the borough, I have been making a few inquiries regarding The New River Stadium (NRS). Whilst this bidding process is currently, as previously described, is running I am lead to believe that the Council "would look very favourably to the idea of selling the NRS to a new owner with a view that remains for sporting purposes and not for re-development for non sporting purposes" and that local authority support for the idea of one (or more) professional RL sides playing out of a shiny new privately owned stadium would be a reasonably easy sell (as these things go) to councillors and other local "partners".
I am lead to believe that a possible resolution to the "athletics club issue" at NRS, could be if any new stadium owner was prepared to invest in upgrading the rather shabby athletic facilities in Finsbury Park, therefore allowing Enfield and Haringey Athletic Club to continue have their two sites set up they currently have.
Even if any prospective owners could get to this "Starting point", "There would still be a few pieces on the chessboard that would need to be moved to take this plan forward, but it may take some time to do so".
Clearly this scenario would be a long term view and would need some real commitment from any prospective new owners of the Bronco's.
It appears that relations at a "senior level" between the two clubs are less cordial than they have been in the past.
I hope that there is someone out there who could be persuaded of the merits of such an approach. However, I'm not holding my breath ............................................
