Worcester City have not given up hope on moving to Nunnery Way and are instead looking to base a stadium on that of Fleetwood Town.

The club are continuing to look at options for a new ground once they have sold St George’s Lane and paid the debt owed to the Royal Bank of Scotland.

Chairman Anthony Hampson last week told a fans’ forum that Nunnery Way was no longer viable and he has been exploring potential new sites and talking to interested bidders for City’s home.

Yet officials from the Blue Square South club met with planning officers from Worcester City Council on Tuesday to discuss the applications for Nunnery Way and the Lane.

Careys New Homes remain the most likely buyer of the century-old ground and the club expect the sale figure to be in the region of £4million.

The situation was top of the agenda at a board meeting on Wednesday and a statement is expected to be released ahead of tomorrow’s match against league leaders Dover Athletic.

One of the options being considered is using Fleetwood Town’s redevelopment as a blueprint for a new stadium.

The Lancashire club, fourth in Blue Square North, are undertaking a long-term project to demolish and rebuild their Highbury Stadium.

With three sides, it has been built in two stages at a cost of around £2m and has a capacity of about 3,800. The terraced south stand was first to be built and houses about 800 fans. At the end of the 2007/08 season a 550-seated west stand and 1,800 terraced north stand were added. It also has floodlights to Football League standard.

City would also have to build in stages having originally unveiled an £8m stadium with a 6,000-capacity.

They were later forced to scale down to a £5m scheme with the second and third phases dependant on funds generated from the rest of St Modwen’s 20-acre site.

Fleetwood ultimately plan to add a 2,000-seater east stand with corporate boxes and new changing facilities, costing another £4m.

Worcester will put their ideas to supporters at a fans forum being held at 5pm in the Harry Knowles Lounge after tomorrow’s match.

However, directors David Hallmark and Dave Boddy will not be attending.

Chairman Anthony Hampson and vice-chairman Jim Panter will be present to answer questions.

Panter dismissed claims the board is divided over Nunnery Way. He said: “We are very much unified on the de-cision and the way forward.”
