Ram Meadow to get an upgrade

Bury Town today announced that they had been the recipients of a grant of £56,386 from the Football Foundation, money which will go towards the £80,000 cost of replacing the club's ancient floodlights and replace the wooden stand opposite the clubhouse- pictured above.

Bury Town board member Chris Ward made the application, and, speaking to the club website, he explained:

“The current floodlights at Ram Meadow were moved from the club’s former Kings Road ground in 1978, so while the club have made good use of them, they are now over 50 years old and in need of replacing.

“The new stand will offer much more comfort to our supporters, and also offer a covered accessible area for wheelchair users and seating for careers which is something we lack at the moment.
“The stand will be designed to be extended or even moved to a new location in the future, if needed."
