Craig said: "We will leave the Memorial Stadium permanently in December and will relocate for the next season and a half.

"We have almost decided where we are going but not quite yet.

"Swindon and Cheltenham are not the only option but they are prime contenders.

"There are one or two negotiations to be done yet but we are nearly there."
