The Bush Ground takes its name from the Old Bush pub which is next to it. It has a stand behind one goal which came from the ground of the defunct Telford-based club GKN Sankey FC, and seats which came from Molineux, home of Wolves. Its unusually-shaped concrete dugouts were featured in David Bauckham's book Dugouts. [1]
