Following the council’s decision on Wednesday evening to reject the two Basron planning applications on the iconic Camrose stadium without a true ‘Like-for-Like’ replacement, this was a huge victory for the Community Club and its supporters, but just the first of many battles we are likely to face to get back to the Camrose or an equivalent second stadium. We thank the council for helping us to get back to Basingstoke at the Winklebury Complex,… Read More »Camrose: The Next Steps

Ground Grading of Winklebury Complex Confirmed It has been confirmed that the Winklebury ground grading will be undertaken on Tuesday 13th October.

We caught up with Dan Brownlie following the dramatic 3-6 comeback at Slimbridge on Saturday… “It was one of the strangest games that I’ve ever been involved in. I’m not sure I’ve seen two more polar opposite performances either side of a half time whistle.

“I didn’t get much sleep, put it that way. It was a real gutting blow [losing on penalties], particularly when you look at the amount of chances we created and the quality of them – we deserved to win but the reality is, as we all know – that’s not how football works.
