Thinking realistically in an unrealistic scenario...

I would go for the New Den. We almost ended up groundsharing there before Gillingham. It was predominantly the fact the Police match day controller had stepped down and a new guy was in place that put the mockers on it. They didn't want the new guy to have a game every week to police as opposed to every other, plus all the obvious groundshare complications that affect the police. Reasonably simple to get to and easily adequate capacity wise. It would mean money for the landlords (they were keen last time the idea was muted) so should be a workable idea as long as the police and authorities were happy this time around.

How about moving to Milton Keynes? There are thousands of people there just screaming for a league football team to support...

Sorry Croydonbloke.

We'll do our European groundshare with TNS. Unlike Chrystal Palace, they play in the UEFA Cup just about every season.

From http://www.saints-alive.co.uk/treflan.htm

NOT the most impressive 'stadium' in Wales, but not bad for a village the size of Llansantffraid (population just over 1,000).
The Recreation Ground, usually referred to as Treflan, is bang in the middle of the village - just turn off the A4393 opposite Wynnstay Stores.
Attendances for Welsh Premier games averaged 258 last season with a high of 441 for the visit of Bangor City.
Highest crowd of the season was 1,056 for the visit of Wrexham in the quarter-finals of the FAW Premier Cup.
On 9 August 2002, Treflan saw a record crowd of 1,996 for the pre-season friendly visit of Chelsea.
The stand behind one goal seats 500 and is alongside a corporate hospitality box. Down one side of the ground is an older, smaller stand, opposite the TV gantry, which is used for filming recorded highlights at some games for showing on BBC Wales or HTV Wales. The ground is fully floodlit.
Current admission charges are £5 adults, £3 OAPs, £1 children.
44-page colour match-day magazines cost £2.
There is an excellent licensed social club inside the ground, together with a refreshment bar serving hot and cold drinks and snacks.
Saturday kick-offs are at 3.00, evening kick-offs at 7.30 pm.
