13.9
Subject to any dispensations granted by the Board, a Club shall either own its ground or have a legally enforceable agreement with its ground’s owner for its use by the Club, expiring not earlier than the end of the current Season.
Everything depends on the WRU it seems.
An excerpt from the above link and others I've posted seem to indicate that 'ground-sharing' outside of the city/locality bearing the teams name is a no-no. We might as well become Cardiff Utd if we go there - see Coventry City situation

13.4
Ground sharing will only be approved at the discretion of the Board.
13.5
Except in cases where a Club seeks consent to enter into a ground-sharing agreement with another Club, it shall be a condition of any such consent that the ground-sharing agreement shall contain provision to ensure that:
13.5.1
the playing of any of the Club’s first team matches will always take precedence over the activities of the other party to the agreement; and
13.5.2
the Club shall have the ability to postpone other activities scheduled to take place on the pitch in the immediately preceding 48 hour period where in the opinion of the Club, acting reasonably, there is a risk that such activity may result in the subsequent postponement or abandonment of a match to be played under the auspices of The League.
13.6
Each Club shall register its ground with The League and no Club shall remove to another ground (whether on a temporary or a permanent basis) without first obtaining the written consent of the Board, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld and the Board shall be entitled, if granting consent, to impose such conditions as it deems appropriate in all the circumstances.
13.7
In considering whether to give any consent to a permanent relocation, the Board shall have regard to all the circumstances of the case (including, but not limited to the factors set out in this Regulation 13.7) and shall not grant consent unless it is reasonably satisfied that such consent:
13.7.1
would be consistent with the objects of The League as set out in the Memorandum of Association;
13.7.2
would be appropriate having in mind the relationship (if any) between the locality with which by its name or otherwise the applicant Club is traditionally associated and that in which such Club proposes to establish its ground;
13.7.3
would not to any material extent adversely affect such Club’s Officials, players, supporters, shareholders, sponsors and others having an interest in its activities;
13.7.4
would not have a material adverse effect on visiting Clubs;
13.7.5
would not to any material extent adversely affect Clubs having their registered grounds in the immediate vicinity of the proposed location; and
13.7.6
would enhance the reputation of The League and promote the game of association football generally.
13.8
The Club must disclose, as soon as practicable, plans and details of any proposed future move to a new stadium.
13.9
Subject to any dispensations granted by the Board, a Club shall either own its ground or have a legally enforceable agreement with its ground’s owner for its use by the Club, expiring not earlier than the end of the current Season.
