Is there any update as to how far away the work is to begin on the new ground?

Something that we should take into consideration when building the new stadium, is Corby Town and Stamford AFC, they both had brand new grounds which are very nice - but in terms of attendances Corby get just below 500 on good days and Stamford get 350 on a good day.

This shows that just the building of the ground isn't enough to get more people down there and highlights the fact that community work, keeping the website and socials up to date to engage with the locals will still be just as important as ever.
  • Play it out from the back.
  • 1 up front.
  • Man gets one good result via a new manager bounce and thinks he's Pep Guardiola.

True, but what sort of gates were Corby and Stamford getting before they moved into their new grounds? This is a genuine question, I have no idea and can't be arsed to look it up.
