The lease on the "Old Ground" is due to expire on [[Lady Day]] in 1810 but Lord moves fast and, by May 1809, has secured a lease on another plot of land, part of the [[St John's Wood]] estate which belongs to the Eyre family. He opens this "[[Lord's Middle Ground|Middle Ground]]" in time for the 1809 season but MCC at first refuses to relocate and continues at the Old Ground until the winter of 1810-11 when Lord stages a ''fait accompli'' by literally seizing "his turf" which is dug up and moved to the Middle Ground.
