What a load of ........

For both sets of fans, probably me included 10 - 12 years ago, the thought of the Poppies calling Nene Park home would / will fill them with anger and hatred.

Personally, in these current financial times, I can’t help but think that this is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity to save two local football clubs.

The more I think about it, the more the idea makes sense.

I think there is a stigma about ground sharing but to me it makes perfect business sense.

What better way to sweat the facilities when two teams call Nene Park home.

Every football club in the county looks at ways of utilising its facilities on non match days, what better way of safe guarding the Diamonds and Poppies futures by having 50 plus match days at Nene Park.

Exactly my thoughts, both clubs will benefit from it. I really hope we can sort it out for next season, as we need this sort of deal if we're going to stay at NP. Obviously a drawback is that fans of our most hated club will be using our facilities, which isn't a great thought but being the away fans in the Airwair would be quite fun and we'd have more fans than we usually have at the rockinghorse.

However, while it would benefit them, the Ploppies fans would still be filled with anger and hatred, they hate having to go to NP once a season let alone for 23 games a season!

For what it's worth i'm with Diamondal on this re: what KC actually said, but it's neither here nor there now that it's been clarified.

If indeed the conference board don't encourage ground sharing, then perhaps they should just make an exception. It's in the interest of both clubs it seems. K*ttering fans may not like that but are they currently in a position to barter?

As i said earlier though, would they not be doing so to save themselves from relegation?
