Berkshire sides Ascot United and Bracknell Town have both made their grounds available to clubs dealing with fixture backlogs due to the weather and cup runs.

A post on social media from Bracknell’s General Manager Dan Harris said: “With recent weather causing widespread postponements, Bracknell Town FC is opening our facility to help clubs and leagues get fixtures played in a professional matchday environment.”

On Friday the club hosted FC Halifax Town as the Yorkshire side prepared for their Enterprise National League fixture with Aldershot Town.

Harris confirmed the club could accomodate matches on Friday and Saturday evenings as well as Snday afternoons at Bottom Meadow.

Bracknell Town‘s home ground is Botttom Meadow, Yorktown Road, Sandhurst, GU47 9BJ. Contact Dan Harris on 07850992661 or email btfc@tsbg.co.uk
