Shaw Lane Aquaforce had to install a new stand to get the required ground grading for the Evo Stik League
The rumours have been put to bed after Shaw Lane Aquaforce received a letter from the FA this week confirming that they have passed their ground grading for the Evo Stik League.
Shaw Lane’s home has been transformed in the last two months to satisfy the inspectors.
The Barnsley-based club have had to install a new 200-seat stand behind the goal.
New fencing has also been erected around the ground alongside other developments which had to be carried out to achieve the required E Grade.
Aquaforce chairman Craig Wood said: “It is great that we have got confirmation.
“We have put a huge amount of work in to get the ground up to standard so we have got our reward.
“The new stand looks brilliant behind the goal and we have had a lot of compliments about it.
“We have done our bit off-the-pitch and now it is down to the team.”
