No. Despite what he suggests, he is not currently authorised to announce it as he doesn't control the club.

Did he not say that FL had given him a list of acceptable venues, but he has to keep his gob shut until we exit admin.

Yes he said that. Three grounds in the West Midlands. I think Walsall, Birmingham and ?

But he can't do a deal with any of them ?

He might well have already done so, but he can't announce it yet as he doesn't control the football club.

The thing that is strange is if, as people keep saying, the share will be with Ltd why are the FL talking with TF about a ground share and providing him with lists of acceptable grounds?

Because he is probably asking in a hypothetical way, which any of us could do.

Otherwise there would be no reason at all why he couldn't already have permission.

This could be the biggest issue coming out of last night. A club in administration cannot enter a ground share arrangement according to the Football League.

Fisher doesn't control when we come out of administration, the administrator does. Opening fixtures are 7 or 8 weeks away. The FL will allow fixtures to be published without a venue, but there will be a time - if things drag on - when a decision on where fixtures are played will have to take place.

In a protracted administration scenario, the only option is to stay at the Ricoh
