Ground development - photo update
September 05, 2004

New ground photosFollowing on from last week's visit to the Rec by senior-ranking Nationwide Conference officials, we have some pictures of the "New" Recreation Ground, including the new terracing and the beginnings of the 1,000 seater stand.

The work is due to be complete well before Christmas; by which time, the Club is aiming to achieve Conference National status for its Bridge Road facilities.

Special thanks to Graham Bacon for providing these shots.

At the Bridge Road end, the terracing is being upgraded with smart block paving and the entrance has been changed to provide for an upgraded Club Shop
