The Bath chief executive, Bob Calleja, yesterday conceded the club was likely to move from the Recreation Ground because plans to redevelop the stadium cannot provide sufficient spectator capacity. Bath have been in talks for most of this decade with the Charity Commission to increase this from 10,500 to 15,000 but Calleja said negotiations had stalled to the point where annual planning permission for the temporary east stand had yet to be granted, meaning the club has not been able to sell season tickets. Calleja said: "The way the game is growing means that we should be looking at a ground which can hold 20,000 spectators. That would mean moving out of the Rec."
