This season we will almost certainly be playing our home games at Stag Meadow (home of Windsor and Eton). This will be our third season away from Wexham Park. As you will remember Martyn Deaner took over the club following the Thornes departure and arranged a five year lease from them of the Park. During this time there were various ground proposals (largely at the allotments) that did not come about for a variety of reasons including local opposition. Once that deal was at an end we had to leave the Park - hence the ground share with Windsor. We allegedly signed a three year deal.

 

The Labour council proposed as part of their scheme to re-generate Britwell that a new ground could be built on some wastle land between Kennedy Park and Slough Estates. There was a lot of misinformation spread around about these proposals and the locals were apparently dead against it (statistics used badly). The minute Labour lost power and a bunch of crackpots, liberals, independents and Tories took power their esteemed leader said something daft about cancelling the whole project and the regeneration of Britwell now seems dead in the water.

 

No current proposals for a new ground and no apparent prospect of a return to the Park.
