The Grundon Community Stadium

Bishop’s Stortford Football Club is pleased to announce that Woodside Park will be renamed as ‘The Grundon Community Stadium’ ahead of the new season. 

The move represents an extension of our existing partnership with the UK’s largest family-owned supplier of waste management and environmental services, which began in 2023.
