Might need some more of the Sphinx land, but surely enough will still remain to leave them a decent pitch etc. Just something to discuss rather than being a realistic new ground option I would imagine.

Instead of new housing, could the layout be reconfigured to leave Sphinx enough pitches, and build a new stadium. Looks like they are already looking to add road access points with the housing plan. I think Sphinx just rent the land.
