A m eetin g of members of the Cheshire County and Stockport C.C. was held on Saturday at Stockport to consider a proposal for extending the ground. The chairman stated that there was an opportunity of pur­ chasing an additional plot of land, 166 yards long by 76 yards wide at Id. per yard, 22£ years’ purchase, or about £1,150, which would serve admirably in the summer for a juvenile club and extra practice-ground, and m the winter for football. Unless this land was purchased by the club there would be erected upon it a long row of cottages, which would immediately overlook the cricket ground. This would be objectionable, and as the land in question was situated on the westerly side, a nuisance would be caused by the smoke from the cottages blowing across the ground. The meeting decided unanimously to purchase the land on the terms stated. There was also an unanimous expression of feeling in favour of forming a football club, to begin operations next winter, and twelve gentlemen were selected to act with the Purchase Committee in determiningwhether the Association or the Rugby game should be adopted.
