Stadium

The club has never had its own ground and for many years shared Leek Town's ground, Harrison Park. A £300,000 donation received in 2002 gave CSOB the finances to build its own stadium, and as of August 2005 the club was in negotiations with Staffordshire Moorlands District Council to do so.
