When Jerry Block became chairman of Harchester United in May 1998, he had a dream of where he wanted his club to be one day. Part of that dream was to build a new stadium for the club.

The project was called "Harchester 2000". Throughout his first year as chairman, he campaigned as much as possible to get the council on board with his proposals. In May 1999, just six days before the famous cup final victory of Manchester United, the council finally gave the project the go ahead.

"Harchester 2000" was built in record time with more builders than ever before thanks to Block's Millions.

The Dragons Lair finally opened for a Premier League Match between Harchester United and Wimbledon on Saturday 25th September 1999.

The stadium currently has a 32,000 all-seater capacity and has hosted some memorable matches including a UEFA Champions League Quarter Final and UEFA Cup Semi Final!
