Spencer Park. There is a lot of land there, and it can be developed. (it will never happen though...)
Let's be realistic here. Unless anyone's got a spare few million to buy Spencer Park, secure planning permission and put the facilities in place for at least UCL level, all in the space of less than a year it's not going to happen
Did you ever go to Histon??? ;)

Raunds would be my preferred option out of that lot.
Raunds Town have a 1st Team & Reserve team, plus Youth Football all being played on that pitch. It's not going to happen.
Didn't Raunds offer their facilities though for us? I think Raunds is the best option from those suggested personally.

Tbh, if I won that, I'll buy Nene Park to evict the Cuckoos. Then it would be up to the fans what they want to do with it at that point.

Raunds would be my preferred option out of that lot.
Wellingborough would be mine - better local transport links and a larger population to attract as fans.

True, but I think the facilities at Raunds are much better than Wellingborough.

The most important thing the AFC needs for now is to keep the momentum going and persuade as many people to follow it as possible. If half the RDFC fan base could be persuaded to follow the AFC it would be a massive boost and difficult to ignore locally.
