Nuneaton Borough are apparently homeless - this statement was released by the club earlier ....
UPDATED CLUB STATEMENT - On Tuesday morning (24th October) our staff turned up to the club as normal to be met with a Notice of Re-Entry.
This notice advised that the landlord (Arden Tigress) had taken back the possession of the ground.
This was the first we were told that this was their course of action and we had no prior notice or even a phone call suggesting there was any issue.
We then contacted Arden Tigress and was initially told that this was an admin issue as they had not received an email from the club advising of future payment schedules.
For clarity, the club has been behind in rent payments since 2019 and Covid impacted everyone.
We have since made great progress in catching up with rent arrears and had good dialogue with an Arden Tigress Representative and we were currently on course to be level on all payments by December this year .
Further to this, on Tuesday as soon as this situation arose our Chairman offered to personally pay all outstanding rent to rectify the situation. He also managed to hastily arrange a host venue at Hinckley Leicester Road to facilitate the playing of our league game that evening, in which our staff and volunteers managed the evening superbly and ended with a great 2-0 win.
Massive credit must go to the management team, players and fans who put aside all these issues and represented the club in fantastic fashion, Thank You.
The current situation is quite fluid and everyone is working tirelessly behind the scenes to try and find a solution that keeps Nuneaton Borough at the FCS Stadium, however without our home we are in a critical situation.
The lost income from matches and events will damage the club ability to continue.
As we haven’t got the full information from Arden Tigress about the possibility of returning and what their plans are, we can’t plan or find solutions straightaway.
We apologise to all our fans and everyone involved with the club and who cares about the club that we don’t have more of a positive update to share, as soon as we have some more info we will release a further statement.
We will be in a position to confirm details of Saturdays game on Friday morning, yet again, we apologise for such late notice.
