The Bulls had until 31 March to make upgrades to the ground to bring it up to the required standards for the fourth tier of non-league football in England. Had the Bulls, who won promotion last season, failed to get approval they would have been barred from this season's play-offs and could have faced relegation back to the Combined Counties League.

Among the work done at the ground in conjunction Jersey's government has been improvements to toilet facilities and new turnstiles. There have also been improvements to its facilities for the media and the installation of new fencing around the ground.
