Nottingham Rugby Club has ended uncertainty about its future by announcing they are moving grounds.
After 100 years at Beeston's Ireland Avenue, the club is relocating to West Bridgford's Lady Bay Sports Complex.
It will be a partner in the multi- sports facility with Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club and Boots.
A financial crisis forced the club to leave Ireland Avenue. They looked at various options since the ground was sold to property developers this year.
The Green and Whites considered moving to Highfields, or even ground sharing at Meadow Lane.
Although they will play at Beeston until the end of the season, some facilities will be moved to Lady Bay in the New Year.
They will set up training facilities at their new base and will prepare for matches to be played there from next August.
Keith Greasley of Nottingham RFU said: "It brings rugby almost into the heart of the city of Nottingham - closer than we were before.
