Ground facts
| Opened | 1995 (Independently re-verified via direct WebFetch of the venue's own results page: no 1995 fixture is recorded there, and the earliest logged match is from December 1996. The site's own team-index page for Thornhill Trojans separately lists 1995 as a venue-usage year, so the discrepancy sits between two of the source's own pages rather than being a simple directory error; disclosed rather than resolved.) |
