Would be a shame to see them go out of business, but at that level I can't see how paying £75k a year just to rent a ground was ever going to be feasible in the long term, particularly not if you can't keep your own bar and catering revenue.
Given that County have just had a significant overseas investor get involved I would hope they can come to some arrangement that doesn't force the rugby club out of the city.
The whole structure of English rugby from the second tier down needs looking at, as there are clubs who are living way beyond their means in the hope they might be able to break into the Premiership as Worcester did.
Very few options if they wanted to ground share as only Ilkeston Town and Hucknall Town are likely options (without moving well away from Nottingham to somewhere like Mansfield).
I am not sure how ground grading comes into it but Moseley used a University pitch for a long while after The Reddings closed so I do not think they are that strict so perhaps a temporary stand at The Bay where they and Nottinghamshire Cricket Club train and Nottingham Outlaws RL play might surfice but I am guessing if that was a real option it would have happened already.
