If we had preliminary agreements in place with the host club, police.etc we could simply produce our own tickets or pay on the door. It ain't rocket science. the away supporters could be diverted to either ground, it is not that far!! If the will was there it can be done.

I'm sure if it was as simple as you seem to think it would have already been looked into, the club must be suffering with no income due to the postponed games & I doubt any other club, even if it were logistically possible would allow us to use their facilities for free.
I know we're all desperate to get games played at the Crown but I don't think switching grounds is the answer - I wish I knew what was.

The other club would need to get their staff in at short notice, all tickets (including season tickets) would need to be purchased or swapped on the day. There isn't 'pay on door' capability at a lot of clubs with the electronic entry systems. After the other club is paid, ticket staff, stewards, the local police and there could be a loss made, as a lot of fans won't bother going.

Then you have problems with fans missing their train back etc depending on where it is located.
