The future of Bath City FC's home ground has been thrown into doubt.
The resignation of chairman Manda Rigby has put a question mark over the future of the Mayday Trust Park, formerly Twerton Park.
In her resignation letter Ms Rigby repeated her belief that Bath City needed to sell the site and move in an attempt to regain control of the club's finances.
"I passionately believe that the only way to make the club sustainable in the future is to effect a sale of the existing ground to an organisation who will bring much benefit to Twerton, and to build a new stadium with a commercial partner, securing football, community assets and a separate income stream."
She said that progress had already been made on a deal but it was not complete.
Ms Rugby announced back in January that Bath City could collapse unless the club moved away from Mayday Trust Park, its home of more than 80 years.
She said the ground had become a huge drain on resources and was likely to be sold for development.
At the time it was reported the site had attracted interest from more than 20 organisations.
The site is also included in B&NES Council's core strategy and social housing landlord Curo has been rumoured as one of the interested parties.
Executive director for transformation and business improvement, Donna Baddeley, said the organisation would be interested in the Twerton site but would not confirm or deny the rumours.
"At Curo we are interested in any regeneration opportunities which enable us to make more affordable homes possible, and to invest in the areas where we work to help create happy, safe and popular neighbourhoods.
"We have strong links with Twerton and manage many homes in the area, so we will certainly be looking closely at any options that become available to regenerate this important area of Bath."
B&NES cabinet member for homes Councillor Tim Ball (Lib Dem, Twerton) said he was sorry Ms Rigby had stepped down and said it would be a shame for Twerton to lose the club.
"We know they have financial problems. This club needs to look to its own destiny and what's best for the club itself. If the site did become available local councillors would want to be involved.
"They have been in Twerton a long time and are at the heart of the community. It would be a loss but the survival of the club is important."
