On 10 March 2007, Squires Gate played a home match against FC United of Manchester at Curzon Ashton's ground. The club had approached Blackpool about playing the game at Bloomfield Road but the ground was not available. The team played the match in Ashton-under-Lyne, as it was felt that FCUM fans were more likely to attend with the match being staged in the Greater Manchester area. A crowd of 1,650 saw Squires Gate lose 0–1, the club earning about £7,000.

In the summer of 2012, Gate changed its Stadium name to The Royal British Legion Stadium.

The following season, manager Dave McCann's resignation was reluctantly accepted by club chairman Stuart Hopwood; he was replaced by club captain Daniel Penswick.
