Stadium.<\/p>\n<p>Wincham Park, where Witton Albion have played their games for two decades, have made the move in order to emphasise the club's positive role in the local community.<\/p>\n<p>Witton Albion chairman Mark Harris explained it is a &quot;logical&quot; step that demands support due to the importance of the Help for Heroes cause.<\/p>\n<p>As well as the renaming of Wincham Park, Albion will be offering free admission to all home league games to any serving member of the armed forces who can produce ID.<\/p>\n<p>Kane Gunter, local Help for Heroes fundraiser, said it was a move to be welcomed.<\/p>\n<p>Witton Albion currently play in the Evo-Stik First Division North and have had a good start to the season, with a 4-2 home victory over Ossett Albion followed by a 1-1 draw at
