The Belles first started using Stockwood Park Athletics Stadium as their home ground at the start of the 2000/01 season. Since our formation in 1997 we had a rather nomadic time using various locations to play our home matches until that time. But after negociations with Luton Borough Council we secured the use of the stadium. It was vital to our progress as a club that we came to this agreement as there were no other football facility in Luton that offers seperate male and female changing and toilet facilties, which is a must for most of the leagues in which we play in. At the beginning the pitch was not in very good condition, but various council employees championed our cause and made sure that improvements were made to the playing surface. Despite that, the lack of drainage on the pitch often meant that in wet weather parts of the playing surface became unplayable. However we were able to secure a grant from Sport England to have new drainage installed during the Summer of 2003 which will in the long term do much to improve the surface
