The development work at ‘West Street’ has being going on for many months now with all sorts of improvements taking place to bring the ground up to the standard required should the club finish in a promotion spot at the end of the season. It has been the clubs intention to apply for and gain promotion for the last two seasons but this season the possibility is a step nearer with the grading being awarded last week after FA officials visited ‘West Street’ and left very impressed with what they saw.

It has been a huge project as virtually every part of the ground needed to be improved. The work that has been carried includes a total refurbishment of the main stand which now has 200 new seats in it, major work at the clubhouse end of the ground has seen new terracing installed which now offers covered terracing for 350 people, two new trainers bench’s have been built, the ground is now fully enclosed with new fencing and a new turnstile / entrance block has been built. These are just a selection of the improvements that have been made but there are many many more that have been made to achieve the grading. It has taken a great deal of effort to get all the work done but we think it shows the commitment the club has to gain promotion this season and push on even further in the coming seasons.

The last thing that will need to be done if the team finish in the promotion spots is to get the floodlighting in place before the start of next season. Regarding the floodlights the club can confirm that the planning permission has been granted and grant funding is in place to help out with the costs of the installation.
