Sandy Lane was built in 1992 as a new home for Worksop Town, but the club was evicted from the ground in 2008. Parramore Sports subsequently bought it, with ownership transferring to Handsworth Parramore after the merger in 2014. The ground currently hosts first team matches in the Northern Counties East League, and is also rented to former owners Worksop Town.
Olivers Mount was the home ground of Handsworth, but it failed a ground grading test in 2012 which resulted in the club being relegated from the Northern Counties East League. The ground currently hosts the clubs' reserve matches in the Sheffield & Hallamshire County Senior League, as well as youth team games.
