If the ground is to be sold off, are any of the amenities, stands etc worth buying?

I don't think they owned the ground.

I understand the rivalry between Alty and Macc fans however, (putting Covid aside) what it does do is deprive both sets of fans two local fiercely (but massive revenue generating) contested local derbys.
Will the league replace them or carry on one short?
I can recall that the Council purchased the ground some years ago so us Council tax payers own a bit!!!!!!!!!!   SBL ;)

I would imagine too late to change the leagues, so extra promotion next season...

...depending on how many teams might (God forbid) go bust in the meantime.

More likely only three will be relegated with the usual four coming up if, as you say, no one goes pop.

Start again way down the pyramid AND play in front of paying fans. The crucial point is where they play, they'll be desperate to play at the moss rose midden.

I won't miss them as such, but will miss taking six points off them this coming season.

I've heard the Cheshire Fire Service may be using this place as a new training facility.

Alternatively, could become our training and reserve ground?

i would have hoped their ground was ring fenced by the local council so that a new club could start up at the bottom of the pyramid without having to worry about buying the ground.

The council have greater priorities than looking after a football club. Truer now than ever. If a house builder offered cash for it the council would be reckless to reject it on the grounds that a phoenix club may want to play there. The administrator will be looking to sell assets, there may not be much left after that process has run its course.

Mr. Sealey is often mentioned as being interested, he will need deep pockets if they intend to stay at the moss rose.

So sad when any football club disappears.
