What more info are you after that isn’t in the article?
PLAYING fields in Widnes are set to be leased to a non-league football club as part of plans to improve sports facilities in the borough.

Forced out? They will have to relocate almost certainly after a club promises £1m investment into something which costs the council £41k a year just to upkeep. Luckily there aren’t too many teams so it shouldn’t be a major logistical issue, as it would if there were a dozen age groups.
Sad that teams of comparable standard (I’m guessing) have such a difference in terms of backing/funding though!
