I clocked that earlier interesting stuff, spoke to my mate earlier who's a Chester City fan and coincidently was christened Mike Hunt (had to get that in) is not pleased to say the least.

Their ground does need replacing though used to watch a fair bit of football in the old Diva Stadium and it’s a bit of a hole.

They're situation is a bit different from ours. Ground they are threatening to switch to is already built. Interesting that other clubs are having problems with local councils aswell.

Isn't the deva stadium only a few years old?

about 15ish from memory as I remember Swindon playing at Sealand Road, the old ground.

I would have thought being fairly newish they have got scope to increase capacity etc. The story doesn't say much but I would guess they want to do other things to increase income (build hotels etc) and aren't getting much help.
