The pitch facilities have changed rapidly, from a small wooden stand, to an all-seated stand. Roped-off areas have been replaced by metal fencing, grassed standing/walking areas have been replaced by hard-core standing, and the floodlights were officially opened by Mark Hughes then of Manchester United. The new dressing rooms have been built nearer the pitch with other social facilities enclosed.
