With Salisbury City F.C. folding in 2014 following a failure to pay debts, a new phoenix club Salisbury F.C. took over the lease at the stadium in early 2015 following a short stand off by the estate of Raymond McEnhill who proposed on selling off the land for development. The record attendance for the stadium was superseded by the phoenix club on the 19th March 2016, when a crowd of 3,450 spectators saw Salisbury lose 2-1 to Hereford, in the semi-final of the FA Vase competition.
