I know I could worry for England if it was an Olympic event, but there was a slightly unnerving piece in Tuesdays programme.

In the 'Programme Review' there was a reference to Wealdstone as 'homeless nomads for quite a few seasons'. I do hope that is not how Gloucester become known.

Mind you I recently had a life expectancy test and was told I could expect to live to ninety three years and seven months. As that will take me to 26 December 2036 I should at least see the new ground.

What City Supporter meant was that when she was born her parents took a look at her and went "whooorrr":D

There's been alot of nomad clubs in recent years so who knows what will happen...Here's a selection of ones I know about...

Solihull sold their ground, moved in with Moor Green, bought a new one, Moor green lose theirs due to arson then merge with Solihull.
Not good.....

Wealdstone homeless since 91, play at Watford, Edgware, Northwood but now have new ground, similarly Dartford were homeless for numerous years when Maidstone folded in 92 who were sharing Watling Road. They now have a new ground.

Recently Chelmsford have found a new ground after 10 years groundsharing at Maldon then at Billericay.

Enfield are still looking and are rumoured to merge with Enfield Town who also are groundsharing with Brimsdown Rovers

Even closer to home, Newport AFC played at Meadow Park due to mad Welsh FA rules...

So the main result in this sample is that its fingers crossed for a new ground but I reckon it'll be a long time coming....

That's kind of you Kingo, but I think my parents said a little more than that !! considering my sister was 15 years older than me:D
