 The ground was then scheduled to be completed by September 2014 with the work being undertaken by Barnes Construction . The project manager was Frank Whittle Partnerships . The completion target was to be 40 weeks after construction had commenced . The club had hoped to play the 2014 – 15 season in their own ground . However , some difficulties with the steel and logistics led to delays . The opening was initially moved back to December 2014 but further delays led to F.C. United playing the entire 2014 – 15 season at Bower Fold in Stalybridge and at Curzon Ashton 's Tameside Stadium . Much of the stadium 's fittings were constructed by fans and volunteers , while one terrace was recycled from the Drill Field ground in Northwich which had closed in 2002 . The facilities were largely completed by April 2015 and a test event was held at the ground on 16 May 2015 .
