Guiseley AFC's good form of late - they are on an eight match unbeaten league run and have recorded three successive wins - has put their chairman in something of a dilemma.

His side have now forced their way back towards a promotion play-off place but to move up Guiseley will have to improve their facilities.

With Leeds City Council unwilling to talk about their lease until it expires next year the Guiseley club are left needing to improve their facilities but wondering if it will be wasted money.

Club Chairman Phil Rogerson said after the win over Ashton United: "What a great result against a team in fourth place to give us three straight wins and an average of two points per game over the last eight games.

"If we maintain this form then a play-off place is becoming a real possibility. This would of course gives us a real problem in that we need to achieve an A graded ground by the end of next month if we are even to be allowed to enter the play-offs.

"Can we be expected to spend the sort of money this would involve when Leeds City Council have not yet agreed to grant us a lease beyond the end of next season."

The work needed to bring Nethermoor up to the standard required for an A Grading is initially understood to involve surfacing the remaining two sides of the ground and completing new barriers all round the pitch. These also have to be covered in so it all involves a lot of expense.

The club is left wondering if they should complete the work, at some great expense, in case they finish in the play-offs. They could complete the work and then run into lease renewal difficulties with the City Council who have constantly thrown up barriers whenever the club has tried to develop.

The club is obviously hoping for a change of heart from the City Council and local councillors as they bid to keep the Guiseley name at the forefront of non-league soccer.

Their efforts to move to a new stadium have been thwarted and their efforts to improve Nethermoor have too.
