The answer is they were all in the picture at Monkton Stadium in the past and it’s time to take another look as the venue closes for a revamp.

As reported in the Gazette, work is starting on a new gym, sauna and other improvements in a £700,000 investment.

It means more great facilities to enjoy in the future and in the meantime, let’s look back at some of the fun you have had at the stadium over the years.
