SEDGLEY PARK will be starting life in National League Two with a brand new stand.

Work has started on a 400-seater stand at the Park Lane ground in Whitefield, so spectators coming to watch Sedgley take on the likes of Rosslyn Park, Fylde and Orrell will be able to do so in comfort.

The ground as a whole will accommodate some 3,000 spectators and that's more than enough for Sedgley as they were averaging 500 last season and around 700 for big games.

In fact, Sedgley will be well settled and provided for at Park Lane once the new stand is up for some years to come.

They do not plan any more development as they consider what they will have will be adequate for life in National League Two and National League One, should they be successful in gaining another promotion.

Entering the realms of fantasy and dreaming of life in rugby union's Premiership alongside the likes of Bath and Leicester is something the powers that be at Park Lane have not given much thought to at the moment.

"If it did happen, and it would be a long, long time in the future if it did, we would have to move to a new ground," said Sedgley spokesman John Lawrence. "Leicester have 14,000 members. Not all of them travel, of course, but we would not be able to accommodate them, and other clubs like Bath, at Park Lane.

"We would have to move to a new ground or look at ground sharing, but I don't think I will see it in my lifetime," said Lawrence.

Meanwhile, it's onwards and upwards into National League One, and while most players and officials are still looking forward to or enjoying their annual summer holidays, Sedgley have received numerous enquiries from players keen to join their ranks.

"It always happens when clubs get promoted," said Lawrence. "It generates a lot of interest.

"We haven't signed anybody yet, but there has been a big interest coming from players with other teams.

"We expect to get lots more enquiries over the next few weeks, but Sedgley Park do not have a requirement for lots of players."

Sedgley feel they are strong enough to tackle National League One with the squad they have at the moment. Kiwi full back Rob Moon is almost certain to be available next season.

Sedgley's Player of the Year looks likely to get clearance to stay and play in this country because of his staus as a student.

Chairman David Smith and his colleagues at Park Lane made several big signings last summer, bringing in the likes of former Welsh international half back Colin Stephens and South African forward Tim Fourie to join former Rumanian international skipper Cris Raducanu and the rest of the stars in Sedgley's first team squad.

A keen eye will be kept open for any other such quality players, but a huge influx of new talent is not on the cards before Sedgley kick off the new season with trips to Plymouth and Rosslyn Park in early September.
