The Emley Miners Welfare Ground.
Situated off Off Upper Lane, Emley near Huddersfield, the ground is shared with Emley Clarence Cricket Club. This necessitates the erection of a boundary fence between the Cricket and Football pitches.
Developed by the incumbent clubs and the Miners Welfare the ground has grown over many years, notably with the construction of the changing rooms and "Alec Hardy" stand.
With an imposed capacity of 2,000 of which 1,000 can be accommodated under the cover of the stand behind the car park goals. There is seating for 330 people in the aforementioned stand, which also hosts a press box.
AFC Emley undertook the building of the Emley Sports Bar in 2007, converting the old secretary's and board room into a bar area, adding a light conservative area to the rear that can accommodate a function for 75 persons. The bar was opened by Huddersfield Keeper Matt Glennon in 2008.
The club continue to work on the site, disabled parking has been added to the car park, and the netting at the Warburton Road side of the ground also replaced. Plans exist to extend the changing rooms, the addition of a Physio room and a female referees room are also planned.
