Greenwich Avenue main track looks immaculate and given the rain of the recent month is almost ready for action now.

In terms of ground developments both current stands are in the process of being reseated to acheive the 100 covered seats for Step G/F. Additionally the club expect to have up the 3rd standing only stand behind the top goal the plan for this one is for it too easily house up to 200 standing spectators. Hopefully up and ready in time for start of the league campaign.
Planning has gone in for new spectator toilets as well as a supporters hospitality area inside of the main 1st team pitch.
Whilst the club are moving forward in the feasibility stage of the new changing,club house and main two tier stand, the club will press on over the summer to upgrade the exisiting pavillion. Plans are being drafted up to move the main home and away changing rooms downstairs and turn upstairs into the long sought after clubhouse.The club views it will not take a major expense to do this work so expect to commence it over the next two weeks.
