Spennymoor Town have requested for their first four games to be
away from home due to ongoing work taking place at The Brewery Field.
As well as a new pitch, there are further
developments taking place at the ground, including new
terracing and a covered stand.
Tony Wilson, Managing Director of Spennymoor Town, said: “On the advice of our agronomist, we’ve
requested our first four games, which will probably be over a three-week
period, to be played away from home. This would give the pitch ample
time to bed in.
“The other works wouldn’t affect games being played as we could
close certain parts of the ground to allow completion whilst games are
on. However, the pitch needs to be right.
“The decision on whether to grant us this request now lies with
the league, who have been extremely supportive of our ambitious plans for the
ground to date.
“I realise this might seem inconvenient for supporters, but it is
a necessary evil to get the stadium to a level that we need to move the club
onwards. I’d expect that most people will understand the importance
of getting the pitch up-to-scratch, given the recent postponements it has
caused over the last two years.”
