The jigsaw is falling in to place now.
Someone might say / think:
As cunning as one of Baldrick’s own cunning plans!
No one was interested in buying it lock stock & barrel. Or / and didn’t have the funds to do so.
Give the fans what they want, to own the ground (1899).
The owner of the club runs the club as a camouflage operation until all the land is sold off.
Minimising costs by utilising his mates facilities at Ilkeston and bringing in 💩 players on I’m guessing poor wages?
Ultimately the last plot of land to go will be the pitch & stadium.
Alternatively, some will say:
“Best thing to happen to the club since we had running water and an indoor lav”
