Nuneaton R.F.C. - Liberty Way Ground

Liberty Way Ground

The Nuns moved to Liberty Way in 1995, after purchasing 50 acres (200,000 m2) from Warwickshire County Council. It contains several full-size pitches. There are 4 large changing rooms, with showers, a referee's room and a physiotherapist room. There is also a large function room with a large bar.

In 2006 Nuneaton RFC sold around 5 acres (20,000 m2) of land to football club Nuneaton Borough AFC. The football club and rugby club originally had a ground share agreement for the sharing of the new football stadium, the 2007-08 saw the two clubs share without any major problems. However in the summer of 2008 Nuneaton Borough AFC went in to liquidation and the newly formed Nuneaton Town FC did not honour the groundshare agreement. This led to Nuneaton RFC using one of their other pitches at the Liberty Way site during the promotion winning 2008-2009 season as no new agreement could be reached for the sharing of the stadium.

Famous quotes containing the words liberty and/or ground:

    Can a free people restrain crime without sacrificing fundamental liberties and a heritage of compassion?... Let us show that we can temper together those opposite elements of liberty and restraint into one consistent whole. Let us set an example for the world of a law-abiding America glorying in its freedom as well as its respect for law.
    Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)

    But with some small portion of real genius and a warm imagination, an author surely may be permitted a little to expand his wings and to wander in the aerial fields of fancy, provided ... that he soar not to such dangerous heights, from whence unplumed he may fall to the ground disgraced, if not disabled from ever rising anymore.
    Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
