Derbyshire County Council have today announced plans to spend £35m to improve the castle and the grounds. The plans include restoring the original caravan site. Would the club be interested in this?

    I thought I heard this was happening some time ago? Perhaps it's just been delayed in getting to the final planning stage. I suspect for the Club to run it they would want it on a reasonably long lease but we don't even know this is on offer? I remember staying at the old site many years ago.

    The site would need plenty of money spent on it from what I remember, and more pitches to make it viable also ,making the whole area more secure and the toilets moving surprised
