Football club to get revamped facilities to prevent it being demoted
A successful community football club in Walsall will be able to have a new stand and floodlights to prevent it being demoted.
Walsall Council planning officers have granted permission to Rushall Olympic FC to build a new 252-seater stand, along with additional turnstiles, and replacing four floodlights at its Dales Lane ground.
The club was promoted to the National League North division at the end of last season and football league rules state ‘The Pics’ need to make the changes by March or face demotion.
Representatives for the club said the work will improve safety and match day experience for supporters as well as help maintain the club’s status.
