It was the home ground of New Brighton A.F.C. from 1921 until World War II. HistoryIn 1921 the football club purchased a 3.5 acre, which had previously been used as a school playing field. A 1,000-seat covered stand with a terraced paddock was built on the northern touchline, and the ground was opened later in the same year. New Brighton were elected to the Third Division North of the Football League in 1923, and the first Football League match at Sandheys Park was played on 29 August 1923, with New Brighton and Chesterfield drawing 0–0 in front of 3,000 spectators. The following season a local derby against Tranmere Rovers saw the ground's record league attendance of 15,173 set.[1] Sandheys Park was badly damaged during a bombing raid in 1942, and following the end of the war, the site was requisitioned by the Wallasey Corporation to build temporary housing on. As a result, the football club moved to the Tower Athletic Ground, the former ground of New Brighton Tower. The last Football League match played at the ground was a 4–2 win over Doncaster Rovers on 2 September 1939 with 3,441 in attendance.[1] References1. ^1 Paul Smith & Shirley Smith (2005) The Ultimate Directory of English & Scottish Football League Grounds Second Edition 1888–2005, Yore Publications, p116, {{ISBN|0954783042}} 5 : Defunct football venues in England|New Brighton A.F.C.|Sports venues completed in 1921|English Football League venues|New Brighton, Merseyside |
