NEHL - A purpose built football ground was constructed here around the 1910s, likely for use for the Croxdale Amateur League. There were various teams in the 1910s - Croxdale Villa and Croxdale Old Boys are the two which crop up most, who spent time in the Spennymoor & District Charity Cup against other local teams. It is likely both teams used this ground.

Facilities were modest, with a small shed in the south west corner. Facilities were likely provided by a local pub or club - perhaps the Nicknack Bridge Hotel a few feet away or the club on Front Street.

The ground, like the cricket club, was repurposed by the 1930s into one large multi-purpose sports ground. Football and cricket likely continued there, but the days of separate distinct grounds were gone.
