GOALLLLLL! We’re thrilled to have secured approval for improvements to the facilities at Grayfields sports pavilion in Hartlepool to allow the club to progress to compete in the northern league.

Retrospective approval for 2x dugout and 3 x storage containers.
Part of the development was implemented without the benefit of planning permission.
