A rather pathetic defence. Presumably only part of it is honest.
Club trustee Malcolm Boswell said the club was in danger of folding if the relocation plans were not approved.
He said: “The club currently occupies land on a declining lease.
“Unless the club can secure alternative premises the likelihood is that it will cease to exist within 33 years, the remainder of the lease.”
“I can honestly confirm had we been able to find suitable alternative locations we would have done it. At present the ground is a declining ground. Each year that passes weakens our position.”
