Following a communication from the League stating that grass embankments at football grounds are NOT to be used as spectator viewing areas and should be fenced off & marshalled, the grass bankings at Shawe View have now been fenced off and we are issuing this notice to comply.

Spectators are hereby advised that the viewing of matches from the grass bankings is NOT PERMITTED, as this would be a breach of our FA Ground Grading criteria. Failure to abide by this instruction may lead to ejection from the ground.

Please do not watch the game from the grassed areas, do not try to cross the fences that have been put up, and please help our volunteer stewards to ensure that we keep our ground certification. There are four home games left – Let’s keep the atmosphere at Shawe View positive!

Despite the obvious disappointment that this decision brings, the good news is that this summer, the Trafford FC Supporters Club plans to build a stand at the open end of the ground (Pennybridge Lane End) are coming to fruition. Following a grant from Manchester FA plus money raised by the SC, the first phase (concrete terracing) will go ahead this summer.

Thank you.
