Have TNS considered having an artificial pitch ? With UEFA giving the go ahead for such pitches, they would be a definite advantage, especially in European games.

Won't happen at Treflan, that's for sure, as there will be no major investment ahead of the move to Oswestry.
Even then, you're looking at very big bucks - £300,000 ish.

What does the move to Oswestry involve ? New ground etc ? I dont know that much about the merger.

I think most people are in the same boat - not a lot seems to be known about the merger and what it entails. Obviously the on field part has already taken place, but the financial and geographical implications all seem to be veiled in doubt etc, although I don't think it is a deliberate thing from the club, it's just not been that well documented - maybe this is a reason many people in the Oswestry area are dubious about the merger and are therefore not supporting the club?

The completion of the merger has been delayed by financial and legal problems, but should be finalised in December when the Oswestry Town shareholders must vote on it.
Plans for the new Oswestry Stadium (location as yet unknown) can then be progressed.
