Manor Park Main Stand
 
 
Nuneaton Borough moved to Liberty Way for the start of the 2007/08 campaign after a number of false move in dates and in fact a number of final games at the Manor Ground.  Pictured left is the main stand at Manor Park.
 
 
 
 
  
These pictures show the old ground being demolished to make way for a housing development.

Cock & Bear Stand Steps
One of the biggest games in the club's history was played at the Manor Ground just a couple of years ago.  The FA Cup 3rd Round tie with Middlesbrough, which resulted in a fantastic 1-1 draw, Nuneaton equalising in the last minute of the game through a Gez Murphy penalty.  A great afternoon in the Cock & Bear, you were just swept off your feet as the fans went mad as the penalty hit the back of the net.
 
 
 
 
Nuneaton Old 1These pictures show the new flats which have been built on Nuneaton's old ground and the Cock & Bear public house which has reopened after closure shortly after Boro left for Liberty Way.  Another old football ground lost forever and replaced by modern flats - many Nuneaton fans are left wondering where all the money went follwing the sale of the ground to developers. 
 
Nuneaton Town as they are now known currently compete in the Midland Division of the Southern League after relegation was enforced on them at the end of last season from the Conference North.

Liberty Way - New Home of Nuneaton Town Football Club
 
Nuneaton New main stand 1 
 
    The original main stand at Liberty Way - temporary but great things are promised for the future
 
Nuneaton New Sign
Liberty Way is found on Attleborough Fields Industrial Estate.  The new complex is fairly impressive, even though still very much under construction.  There is a covered stand behind each goal and a temporary main stand.  There is also uncovered terracing down one side.  The pitch looks excellent too considering the use it gets.

The home end at Liberty Way, can the atmosphere of the Cock & Bear end every be reproduced?
 
There is a great view of the game from the stand behind the goal at this end.

The social club at Boro's new home is a temporary building and the entrance from the ground is across some decking, perhaps they are expecting the floods!!

Pretty professional looking programme.  A few too many adverts but plenty of facts and figures and up to date information.  Picture is of the 2007/08 programme for the games against Kettering (20th Oct) and Boston United (23rd Oct).  This programme was the overall winner of the first ever Midlands Non League Football Programme awards for the 2007/08 season.

Relegation and a new name for Nuneaton - the start of a new era? 
 
At the end of the 2007/08 season, despite finishing just outside the play offs in 7th place in the Conference North the club revealed serious financial problems and the decision was taken to take the club into liquidation.  As a result Nuneaton Borough were relegated two leagues by the FA to the Southern League Midland Division.  The club also announced the decision to change the club's name to Nuneaton Town.
