Solihull Moors are facing an upheaval over their ground - after the council earmarked it for development.
The National League high-fliers are now looking for a new site after Solihull Council made their 10-acre home the subject of a land grab.
The local authority is allowed to order them to leave as they need extra room for the Jaguar Land Rover factory which sits adjacent to the 5,000-capacity Armco Arena.
The area, which also used to be home to Birmingham City ’s former Damson Park training ground, has undergone a huge transformation - all bar this small parcel of land upon which the stadium sits.
The plant has 5,000 workers and there are proposals to increase that figure by up to 25 per cent during the next few years.
Solihull Council described the future financial well-being of Jaguar Land Rover as "critical" in its local plan.
A significant six-figure sum has already been ploughed into the facilities at the site - but the council do have an obligation to find the club another home to the same standard as they one they currently use.
The plan suggests the club could need to quit its base within the next three years, ramping up the pressure on the council to find Neal Ardley’s men a new home.

No big deal, the council will build them a better ground with a portion of the money gained from the sale of land.
