News Round-Up


Worcester City have announced they will end their groundshare at Kidderminster's Aggborough stadium at the end of the current season. A club statement has called the deal 'unaffordable in the long term' and that the club will now seek an alternative site for the 2016/17 season. Sites at Evesham and Bromsgrove are both reported to be under consideration.

Quorn have announced plans to build a 64 bedroom care home on an astro turf pitch at their Farley Way home. The club say they cannot afford to upgrade the existing ageing facility, so intend to use funds from the development to install a community use 3G facility on their main pitch and upgrade the floodlighting to LED technology. They say their long term aim is to progress up the football pyramid.

Former Chester City player, and briefly owner, Stephen Vaughan Jnr has been warned he faces jail after admitting a charge of perverting the course of justice after acknowledging he helped the killer of PC Neil Doyle escape the country by lending him his car to flee to Germany. He will be sentenced at the end of March.
