POOLE Town are facing the prospect of being relegated from National South unless they can find £70,000 to get their ground up to scratch.

The Dolphins, who are on the cusp of the play-off places, must find the cash before the end of March or will be demoted back to the Southern League.

Poole, crowned Southern League champions last year, were given the green light to stage step two football at Tatnam on the proviso the venue met National League ground-grading criteria by March 31.

The project, which involves installing low-level terracing and upgrading the floodlights, will cost around £150,000 – with no facility for receiving a Football Foundation grant.

This is a great football club on the up and I hope that we can keep them going in the right direction!

Poole town, Our local team who have done so well, are being threatened with relegation if they do not get their ground up together! They will not receive any funding to help with this! Personally I think this is shocking, so I am planning to take action, I am going to walk from out high flying neighbours AFC Bournemouth's ground Dean Court, to Poole stadium (In a fancy dress of the publics choosing!) people are welcome to join the Walk/March it takes around 2 hours ! We have until march for some money to be raised so I will set a date for the walk nearer the time, until then please donate. Even £5 will help towards the target. Thanks guys!!! https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/jake-price
