If Milan can do it.....
You could still have a home dressing room each and home and away stands, so why not.
It would only work for very geographically close clubs though, most home fans wouldn't want to travel more than 2 miles at the absolute max to get to a home match.

Interesting. The Broncos had to move grounds from Greenwich in East London to Brentford in West London - approx 2 hours travel time away from their Greenwich core support and get pilloried regularly for our inability to build up crowds. So if a Northern club moved just 2 miles further away from their support base it wouldnt work.

Well exactly! What chance do London Supporters have for continued support. If they moved Leeds (I picked them as they have the biggest attendance) to Bradford, how many home fans would go every match? 5k? if that.

But nothing to do with other clubs is it
Pick an area , find a ground , stay there , try to build a fan base
Sorry but you can only use that excuse so many times , what you are saying is in truth you are a NL/Championship club [ support wise ] playing in SL
If you are forced to move again , dropping down a level might be the best option for you

SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done But he with a chuckle replied That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn’t be done, and he did it!

Not sure if thats true, but in the case of the Hull club's, our grounds are nearly 6 miles apart, both would probably have to relocate to share.
