Our tenants have announced on their forum that it will not be possible to have their new ground ready for the 2016-17 season, please PB, don't let them f#!$ up our pitch any longer than the present agreement.

If we don't go up this season could we afford to turn down £56/60k plus?
With the investment in the new ground maintenance equipment, the pitch should wear less this season so having them here another 12 months wouldn't be so bad would it?

By the time they do return to Gloucester it'll be 10 years, Gloucester City Council don't appear to have helped the club in their pursuit to get back home

If some of us want to help move Gloucester a City on then some of their fans have launched a petition at change.org.

Well we couldn't turn it down when we were in L2 so I very much doubt it

£60k is a huge amount in the conference we would be stupid to turn it down imo.

Equally, if come Jan / Feb next year we see the pitch ruining our promotion chances, could we afford not to turn it down?

Priority must be getting promoted asap - and I do not believe a degraded and ploughed up pitch is the way to achieve that.
