What's the ground like?

As well as a football pitch, the stadium has an eight-lane athletics track and a bar, which is run by Grantham Football Club. It is known locally as The Meres, after the name of the playing field with its large number of park pitches that occupied the site prior to the stadium being built in 1991. The club moved into the stadium in August 1991 after vacating their town centre home the previous October and ground sharing at Spalding in the interim period. The stadium was completed in 1991 at a cost in the region of £4m. It is a multi-purpose venue and has an eight-lane international standard running track around the central football pitch. Although not ideal from the football purist's point of view, the track does ensure year-round usage of the facility. The club has a ten-year lease from South Kesteven District Council which gives them priority use of the stadium for football.
