Diamonds will still have to pay money they cannot afford.

Diamonds will play second fiddle in their own back yard.

Most was against it when K*ttering had ground issues but are now all for it? Strange?

They'd lease the ground because in a couple of years they won't have one.

We may be paying money we can't afford, but it will be half of what it would have been i'd imagine.

Who said we'll play second fiddle?

And most are all now 'for it' because we know the true extent of our problems.

You are incredibly pessimistic and dismissive 'easystreet'.

Why are you so NEGATIVE about playing at NP? You don't seem to take into account the fact that things have changed. We cannot afford to run the whole of the facilities, so we negotiate terms we can afford. Let's not rule it out before exploring all avenues. As I said before, we meter the gas and electric, we lease one stand and the clubhouse on matchdays, we run functions at NP to bring in cash, the remainder KC can do with as he likes. The stadium is NOT our responsibility anymore, so we cut our cloth accordingly. I still strongly feel it can be done. Hell surely we can compete with the likes of St. Albans, Salisbury, K*ttering and Histon for income?
Cheer up you miserable bugger ;) :lol:

No need to apologise ;) .

Granted, it's not going to be the same R&D we have enjoyed for the last few years, but that doesn't need to be a bad thing.
