The Club wishes to expand further, not only to encompass the expected
growth of youth teams (mini soccer as well as 11-a-side) but to also to
work with other, hitherto, less represented groups such as female soccer
and also encourage the participation of those who have a disability or
who are more mature in years.

The expansion of the Club, however, is severely constrained by the fact
that it does not own or lease its facilities. At present it is limited
by the fact that Churchill Close will only grant a one year lease via
the Sports Association (annually renewable) for use of pitch areas and
that the Club has not
permanent
residence for both playing area and club house. This lack of security of
tenure curtails the ability of the Football Club to apply for and
benefit from external funding from sources like the Football Foundation.
The club also has far from satisfactory training facilities and needs to
secure a site where floodlights can be
erected
to allow mid week winter
training.
