Boulevard coach Andrew Bascome believes his team's abrupt eviction from St. John's Field may be a "blessing in disguise".
Blazers fell on bad terms with landlords Western Stars Sports Club after failing to come to the table to discuss security issues stemming from last month's attack on a Somerset Eagles player following the FA Cup champions' home clash.
It is alleged the Eagles player was set upon by a group of men after the final whistle had blown and it also understood that Western Stars' property was damaged after the match Blazers won 3-2.
Boulevard's privilege to use St. John's Field as a home venue this season was revoked last week, resulting with them having to play their previous home match with Somerset Trojans at nearby BAA Field, where Bascome said he feels right at home.
He said: "Any coach would love to play at BAA because it helps the game and encourages the type of football I like my team to play. BAA has a better playing surface which actually helps our game."
Bascome said he only learned of last week's change of venue two days before kickoff, forcing his team to make the necessary adjustments ahead of their big clash with Trojans, which they eventually won 1-0 to go four -points clear at the top of the Premier Division.
He added: "Having to move to another field hasn't really affected us that much. Of course the surface at BAA Field is a lot better and so this whole thing may be a blessing in disguise."
Rather than dwell on his team's lack of a home venue, Bascome is more concerned about what he described as inadequate training facilities at Victor Scott School where Blazers train.
He said: "Our main problem at the moment is not having a proper training facility - that is what is hindering us the most because we can't have effective training sessions.
"We have no proper lighting. ... . half the field isn't lit and it is no longer daylight saving time so it gets dark early. It's worst than it was last year."
When asked to comment on his club's ongoing row with Western Stars, Bascome replied: "I don't know all the circumstances and so it would be hard for me to comment on that. I really don't know what took place and what Boulevard have not done on their part."
Earlier this week the Bermuda Sun revealed that Blazers had been given the boot for not attending a meeting with their landlords following the attack on the Eagles player.
Western Stars vice -president Michael Weeks said: "This incident has to be discussed and has to be sorted out so it doesn't happen again."
It is now understood both parties met briefly last Wednesday but have yet to resolve their differences, meaning Blazers will have to use BAA Field for Sunday's crucial league clash with defending league champions Devonshire Cougars in a rematch of this season's Charity Cup match.
Cougars suffered a bruising 4-1 mauling at the hands of PHC Zebras in their last league outing and will be looking to gain ground on the leaders.
"Cougars will be all of that and more on Sunday," said Bascome, who believes his team have yet to hit top stride. "I am pleased with my team's performances ...... but there's always room for improvement."
