Sandygate visitors centre on track following six-figure Hallam FC donation

A £280,000 visitors centre is likely to be built in 2011 at Sandygate after a loyal fan left Hallam football club an unexpected donation in his will.

Long-term supporter Roger Bell followed the Countrymen home and away but never told anyone at the Crosspool club his plans to leave them a financial gift when he passed away.

The money will be used to fund ground improvements, including a visitors centre and new clubhouse.
