Todays's visitors are Eccleshall, and both teams occupy similar positions below the half way mark in their respective step six leagues, the West Midlands League Premier Division and the North West Counties League Division One, so it is difficult to call the likely outcome.
The 3pm kick off means the sun is extremely low in the sky, which makes for challenging photography conditions, as well as providing some spectacular views.
The ground stands at the rear of Stafford Cricket Club, whilst there are also facilities here for rugby and hockey.
Eccleshall make the brighter start, but are denied when a Tom Betts clearance hits Dwayne Spence and rebounds back off the post, but Stafford score the only goal of the first half on 27 minutes, Josh Anderson finding Matt Buckham in space on the left to drive his shot home.
Stafford make it 2-0 after 55 minutes, Paul McMahon beating the visiting defence to Mat Dockerty's long ball rather too easily before finishing with a neat chip over Dave Watson, and Eccleshall must have felt it was not their day when skipper Gavin Wood's free kick comes back off the post.
For a while the game becomes rather ill tempered, and, when Eccleshall have Dan Counter red carded on 72 minutes for a professional foul on Paul McMahon, there is a squabble between the two benches. However, despite going down to ten men Eccleshall are not out of the game, and they give themselves a chance on 84 minutes, Dwayne Spence heading in Peter Shore's corner.
There is to be no dramatic late comeback, and with Eccleshall committing men forward for a free kick, Phil Ellerby breaks away in stoppage time and puts Paul McMahon clear to wrap up a 3-1 win for Stafford Town.
