History (from Wikipedia)
The club have played at Alder House since their establishment, and it is currently known as 'The Skuna Stadium' for sponsorship reasons.[10] At some point during their tenure, the pitch was rotated 90º, and floodlights were installed in 1994.[1] One stand was described "leaning forward as if in prayer for its continued survival",[1] before it was demolished in 2007.[2] Following ground works crowdfunded by supporters in 2020,[11] the ground currently has two stands with covered seating, with two more covered stands for standing spectators, one of which has been expanded to provide cover for disabled spectators. Alongside the clubhouse, the ground has an additional two outdoors refreshment facilities.
