Brackley's ground was deemed good enough for the National League Premier in 2013 despite only having one turnstile.Will they have to do ground works?
3000 capacity with just over 500 seats (according to Wikipedia) is below requirements isn't it?
(and another plastic pitch which I realise is okay).
I believe it's quite a limited ground in its current state. One side and one end are just open and flat, while there are small covers behind the goal and adjacent to the main stand. They are very well funded, but have spent most of the money on the team, it seems.
I guess they would be okay to come up, as Guiseley were a few years ago, but may have to do some work before the end of the season; as I say, though, money doesn't seem to be a problem.
At least, the ground is in the town centre, rather than stuck out on some distant industrial estate.
