You think Nene Park is viable as it is for a team getting 500/600 home crowds?

No, if we got 1000 it could be though. Was thinking a bit beyond Step 2. Also it's never going to be an option so not worth considering tbh.

Same, I would be happy to stay at Step 3 and live within our means. If fans get bored then so be it, sometimes clubs don't get promoted/relegated for a while. The important thing is stability, making a profit and not chucking cash away to get a promotion.

As for Nene Park, it was obvious with the old club that crowds of 1,000 weren't sufficient to maintain it. Why anyone would think that a few years later it suddenly would be is beyond me.
