The value of the deal has not been revealed but the club says that it is their biggest ever.    Many football fans rallied round when the club were evicted from the Goldstone Ground and had to go temporarily into exile at Gillingham.   The progress they are making shows how a club can recover from misfortunes imposed on it by those who do not have its interests at heart.
