The Rebels have been given little option but to choose sharing a ground with another club, as the Observer first reported on January 31, after Mayfair Communications, who own the current lease, refused – at present – to give them an extension.

But it does not mean that Slough Town will not be playing their football at Wexham Park Stadium next season.

Club chief executive, Martyn Deaner, said: “It depends what happens between now and August 15. If we can negotiate the lease then we can re-apply to the Ryman League.

“But we have to take the club from being a shuttlecock, batted backwards and forwards over the net by people that do not do what they say they are going to do.”

Mr Deaner says he keeps in daily contact with the Slough Town Supporters Association (STSA) and that they will give their preferences for a possible groundshare.

Ryman League secretary, Nick Robinson, said: “If they have not got a lease for Wexham Park Stadium or arranged a groundshare with anybody else by the end of that month, then they will not meet our requirements to play in the Ryman League.

“Applications for next season’s league have closed but I suppose that if we had a vacancy they could be allowed into the one of the lower leagues if they comply after this deadline.”

Windsor & Eton were approched about a possible groundshare before the Rebels Mr Deaner took control, but the Royalists’ Stag Meadow ground did not have the required grade A status.

Mr Simpson said: “We have not had an approach yet. But if the club was run by the supporters and it was a well organised club we would be sympathetic and I would be very happy to talk with them.”

He added: “We would consult with our supporters and would have to take into account our reserve side because I do not see how you could continue with that. But that does not mean to say we would not talk to Slough Town about it.”

Burnham Football Club treasurer Rod Saunders has said he would not want to see one of his neighbouring rivals suffer and would try and help out Slough Town if they could.

But Mr Saunders highlighted some areas of Burnham’s plans that may cause problems if Slough Town made an official approach.

He said: “We will be laying a brand new pitch from May 4 with an irrigation system and I think in the first year it has got to be looked after and it must not be overplayed – there cannot be to much football on it.

”But it is not something that we would rule out. As neighbours as of the club, although they are our rivals, we would not like to see them suffer and if we can help them then we would.”

SYCOB secretary, Paul Hughes, confirmed that, subject to the club getting their own ground grading on April 1, they too would consider helping the Rebels with a groundshare.
