Post-stadium Housing Development
The site of the stadium is currently being regenerated by George Wimpey plc to provide housing on the areas which were originally the car parks and stands. The area which was the playing surface will be relaid with grass so that the local children can continue the tradition of playing football on that space.

“The development of civilization and industry in general has always shown itself so active in the destruction of forests that everything that has been done for their conservation and production is completely insignificant in comparison.”
