What's the actual story here?
Why would the board of club and ground want/allow this to happen?
Something seems off.

There's always something off in these situations I don't know the ins and outs but there are different stories depending who you want to believe. The true story may well be in there somewhere. No compensation for their fans and I think fans of grassroots football in general. |

As has been said - different story depending who you speak to.
Crux of it is, the Miners Welfare Institute who own the facilities were demanding more money. The story only came out after the FA Cup run though.
I wonder how many other non-league clubs have folded within six months of being in the FA Cup First Round Proper?
The latest talk is that the youth section will remain, it's only the senior football club that's folded/no longer exists.

I think this could have been sorted easily if there was a genuine desire to do so.
My opinion is that without the Football and Cricket sections the Miners Welfare Club will not survive. I fully expect the club to fold within a few years and the land turned over for housing.
Maybe that is what the Trustee's want? Who knows.

I believe there is a gagging order in place about what's gone on. All will be revealed I guess
