The Northern Premier League West Division Champions have scrapped plans to move to a new ground a mile away from the DCBL Stadium.

The proposed site on Playing Fields on Dundalk Road is deemed not to be a viable option due to the expected increase in traffic and parking issues.

What this means for the future is unclear as the club have already received confirmation of their promotion to the Northern Premier League Premier Division next season.

Michael Ellison has resigned as manager apparently over budget issues ahead of next season.
