I agree a solution without Glanford Park is really not a solution at all.

It would be a stay of execution which is better than we are facing currently but without debt free use of the stadium I cannot see any prospect of a return to the EFL.

It would be ideal if the stadium was fan owned or at least 51% fan owned to guarantee this kind of situation cannot happen again.

Owning and funding the football club is a much more attractive proposition if the ground is guaranteed available for running costs and a peppercorn rent.

I would happily chuck in a grand or so towards the Iron Trust owning or part owning the ground providing Peter Swann is prepared to sell at a realistic price. There may be the appetite and the means amongst fans to raise the £1.5m that would seem to be about a fair price. Of course if Peter Swann has folks queuing up to pay the reported £3m for some relatively unattractive land with no planning consent and significant demolition costs then I fear the ground is gone forever.
