The stadium was completed in 2003, and has a capacity of 6,320. It is covered on three out of four sides. The stadium lease and assets are currently held by [Telford and Wrekin](/source/Telford_and_Wrekin) Council.

This section was usually opened only when a larger than average crowd, or a particularly large away support, was expected. However it is now open at all games to away fans due to the higher number of travelling supporters. ## David Hutchison Stand The David Hutchison or 'The Hutch' is where the more "die hard" fans stand and is the noisiest part of the stadium on matchdays. It is situated at the northern end of the ground and can hold a capacity of 1,100 spectators. ## UEFA Women's U17 Championships England 2013/14 England was the selected country for the U17 Women's championship's in 2013/14.
