Two things......
The council arent actually looking to build on your home ground are they so your opening gambit isnt true. Its the surrounding facilities they are proposing to build on, land that they actually own and currently lease to you.
Lets face it building houses on what is an awful ground and terrible pitch would be doing football a favour, providing of course your club could exist elsewhere.
If they take your parking do you think that the effect on the existing local residents streets and the new houses they propose may actually strengthen local support for the council to do something and find you a new place ? Might actually work in your favour ?

That's the crux of the issue isn't it though. And yes it is a shite pitch with poor facilities but it's all they have so to say it would be doing football a favour is arrogance of the type we'd hate from bigger clubs fans who we've had abuse from.

Teams like FGR who are trying to buy success get roundly criticised on here with some justification. Braintree do not have to my knowledge a mega rich "sugar daddy" willing to pump endless funds into their coffers. In spite of that they came within an Omar super-header of a trip to Wembley and a real shot at making the Football League. That must be the dream of thousands of volunteers and fans at countless non-league clubs across the country. For me it is what football and progression is all about. To see a real chance of that being snatched away by something unrelated to football on top of all the other hurdles clubs face must be utterly gut wrenching. I wish them nothing but success with this petition and would urge as many as possible to share the hell out of the petition link all over social media.
