Leeds United Ladies are back at The Park, Tadcaster.
Tadcaster Albion AFC was formed in 1892. Their ground, The Park, is situated behind the John Smith's brewery in Tadcaster, hence their nickname 'The Brewers'. They are members of the Northern Counties East Football League Division One, managed by Jimmy Reid and coached by Andy Battersby. The Park has a capacity of 1,500 (500 seated). Leeds United Ladies first played at the ground in the 1990s, before moving to Garforth Town's Wheatley Park ground.. However, the Ladies still played the occasional game there, including a match against the USA Ladies U21 team in April 2007, which in part convinced the Ladies to move back to the Park for the 2007/08 season. "We are pleased to be back at Tadcaster Albion," said Ladies' Chairperson Mel Vauvelle. "The committee there have made us feel very welcome and want us to feel like it's our home too, something we havent always felt in the past. They have done so much work to the ground and pitch since we played here last. The pitch surface should be one of the best in the leagues and the club house has lots of opportunities for entertaining and putting on fundraising events." |
