Stadium
The club were based at Sandy Lane, but in May 2008 were forced to relocate to Hucknall Town's Watnall Road ground. This agreement ended in May 2009 and a new agreement was reached with Ilkeston Town. During May 2010, it was announced that for the 2010–11 and 2011–12 seasons, they would be playing at Retford United's Cannon Park ground. However, after completing work on their original home, they will begin to play in Worksop again in the 2011–12 season. This late change of position regarding the then disused Sandy Lane site was because the manager of former works team, Parramore FC, Peter Whitehead managed to buy the ground from its owners, who had been newly elected to The Northern Counties East league and required a suitable ground (a proviso of joining the NCE league). Mr Whitehead "allowed"/"leased" (I know not which) Town to return the ground NPL standard, so that they would be able to play in the town again.
