Club story
A community club investing in its ground
The club’s March 2021 development appeal described a football community of more than 180 players, including around 160 children aged 6–15. Those figures describe the club at that time, rather than a present-day squad total.
That appeal set out the need to level the pitch and improve drainage, perimeter fencing and floodlighting. It explains the work behind the subsequent ground redevelopment; the old description of a flooded, sloping surface should not be mistaken for a current assessment of Gerard Lyons Memorial Park.
