OSSETT United could be forced to sell their Ingfield home after being issued with a £135,000 court order following a landmark legal ruling. A court in Manchester ruled in favour of semi-professional player, Reece Welsh, who suffered a broken ankle while playing for Radcliffe Borough in a game against Ossett Town in 2015. Ossett Town merged with Ossett Albion in 2018, forming Ossett United. The liability was transferred to Ossett Town Ltd - also formed in 2018 - who own Ingfield and currently rent the ground lease free to Ossett United. United have started a crowdfunding appeal to raise funds which has currently raised £2,325 after one day.
