The Ground

From the humble beginnings of 1992:

the Tiger's Den has undergone much change, however, with the possibility of advancing further up the football pryamid, the directors realised that much work needed to be done resulting in the fact that during the close seaon (1999) the look of Sandy Lane was altered beyond recognition. The Tiger's Club House, voted the worst of any Premier League ground 1998/99, was transformed by the removal of the changing rooms (now to be found behind the Worksop Guardian (Main) Stand.

The W-G Stand was also improved with the removal of the wooden benching and it's replacement with flip down plastic seating:

and the terracing next to the dugouts was replaced by (suprisingly costly) seating:

Colours

-Yellow/Black Shirts,
-White Shorts,
-White Stockings.

Traditionally we wear Black and Amber tops and Black shorts and stockings. Don't ask me why we experiment with other colours. In my opinion the '98/'99 seasons home top was the best.
