Ground work

The 2025/26 move gave Codnor Athletic the chance to establish a lasting base and to take responsibility for maintaining and developing the playing surface.

The club has secured Football Foundation support for equipment and maintenance work and continues improving the ground, including the changing-room renovation now under way.
