Hooper cautious over ground share

| Cautious: Derek Hooper |
Chippenham Town chairman Derek Hooper says a potential groundshare between the Bluebirds and Trowbridge Town is far from agreed.
Hellenic League Division One West outfit Trowbridge are looking for a new temporary home while they build a new stadium on Bradley Road in the town.
They are waiting for planning permission from West Wiltshire District Council and will need a home for two seasons.
But Hooper has distanced himself from any speculation about an agreement, despite Trowbridge hosting Cheltenham Saracens at Hardenhuish Park on Saturday.
"It is a long way from being anywhere near tied up," said Hooper.
"It is still in the melting pot because the two leagues have got to agree it, the Wiltshire FA have got to agree it and, at the moment, the Wilts FA are not looking terribly hopeful."
Bluebirds boss Adie Mings said he wouldn't have a problem with the idea, but believes Trowbridge would have to train elsewhere.
"They would have to find themselves a training
facility because two teams could hamper the surface," he said.
