the table and won the title on goal difference by a single goal from Witton Albion. Further and final success came when NPL First Division champions Buxton were defeated 3–1 in the Peter Swales Shield. This rounded the season off and confirmed Burscough as Treble winners. 2010s In the 2010–11 season, Burscough finished 19th but were reprieved from relegation due to Ilkeston Town folding. In September 2011 former manager Derek Goulding returned to the club, replacing Chris Stammers. In the 2015–16 season Burscough were relegation favourites, however they went on to reach the play off semi-final in which they were beaten by a strong Spennymoor side. Stadium The club used to play their home games at Victoria Park, in Burscough which had a capacity of 3,054, with a 250-seat grandstand. Opposite the grandstand was a sheltered terrace. At the Crabtree Lane end of the ground was another sheltered terrace, with a smoking area between these two shelters. These two stands could provide cover for up to 1,000 standing occupants. The Mart Lane end of the ground had the main turnstiles. In 2020, the ground was demolished to facilitate a move to The “New Victoria Park”.
