I'm sure we did the land survey for this a month or 2 ago. Hope it all goes through for you.

That was a case of a council run stadium being run to the exact requirements of the Green Guide, and the shock of the costs involved in that when compared to the rates at Hilton Park, where stewards worked for free or a nomial fee, something that the Stadium Management Company weren't willing to do (they wanted to be the employers of all the stewards and as such had to pay a 'proper' wage etc).

All sorted now though, touch wood.

it will be much heralded if Swinton finally get a ground of their own, Station Rd is much missed.

Might be a tad controversial, but I think even Gigg Lane is missed. Not got the facts to back it up (can't find many archive attendances online) but I'm got a hunch that they got better crowds at Bury than they do these days.

If this comes off then the "excuses" of other clubs in getting new grounds becomes interesting!

Happens at the KC. Initially it was thought that local cup finals and such would be played at the stadium but the high cost and the relutance of Hull City to allow others onto the pitch means that Craven Park is more often than not used.

Absolutely brilliant news

If They get a new place built at Agecroft I will have another club to follow

you a resident at forest bank?

Good luck. Hope everything works out

Best wishes

and hope it is not as protracted as our ... hopes

Really? Go on, explain yourself.


Good luck to Swinton. It'll be nice to see them back in their own place once again. You never know, we might finally get a meaningful derby in the near future, which would be great for both clubs.

It doesn't take the scouse mutants long to try and put the misguided boot into Leigh, does it?
