Other problems with that site are, relocation of the existing 15 or so teams that play regularly on there and the fact that although it is one of the better grounds at sunday football level, the drainage isn't good and the pitches are regularly waterlogged. That particular problem is solvable but I would imagine it would mean ripping both pitches up, laying new drains, and then returfing or seeding of the pitches. Add to that the fact that one of the clubs that use the facility has a major attitude problem towards Stanley then you get some spanners in your workings!!!

Plus the biggest problem we'll always have anywhere near our current site is the residents (kisser exempt!!!) who will always continue to moan profusely.
