No wonder they only allowed me to extend my membership by 6 months, rather than the usual 12.
In the mean time the area gets less and less cared for and it all starts to look rather tatty, over the next few months.
Wasn't the astroturf/playing surface, replaced no more than 8 months ago?

From the article on the University website:
"Beaconside Sports Centre, which forms part of the site, is scheduled to close this summer although the use of the large Astroturf facility will remain in public use until June 2017"
So it looks like although the astro will be available for the 2016/2017 season, all changing facilities will be closed as of the end of this season

Just seen that myself. Looks like the Stafford hockey teams are going to be without a place to play.

Enjoying a drop of red.
In English?It won't be closed. Talks on the transfer of the site facilities are going through process now with a UK owned. All will be fine

What the heck is happening to Stafford?
Did Stafford council distribute pairs of rose tinted glasses some time recently, which come with an Exciting Developments to Stafford for the Good of Stafford etched on each lense, that by law we have to sport each time we leave the house, allowing really important places around us to be chipped away at and then eventually, close?
Where's MY rt glasses?

Most of our campus is in Stoke - it's where the majority of our facilities are, and the majority of our students - it always has been. I'm sorry to leave Stafford, but it's more like a college campus then a university campus here at the moment. I really can't wait to be all in one place, and the opportunities for collaboration that will emerge and that we can stop spending money on duplicating facilities. We'll be closer to a major train station, there's more support for alumni wanting to set up ventures after graduating and it means all of the students will mix together. Cost effective housing and more social life opportunities are part of that.
On the basis my recruitment numbers seem to be up the quiet life of Stafford is not the draw people kept telling me it was.
