New Long Lease For AFC Telford

AFC Telford have agreed a new lease, reportedly 140 years, for their New Bucks Head ground with the Telford and Wrekin Council.

"AFC Telford United is a very important part of the community fabric here and drives important benefits for the borough’s economy," said Council leader, Councillor Shaun Davies, as reported by the Shorpshire Star.

"It also provides great outreach and training courses across the community.

"At a time when league football faces many pressures due to the pandemic, it’s great that we’ve been able to work together to provide this good news for everyone involved with the club."

Telford chairman Andy Pryce also commented.

"We are delighted that this longstanding issue is now resolved and the council’s action gives the club much greater certainty into the future.

"It will also put us on much more solid footing as we continue to grapple with the effects of the coronavirus pandemic.

"This is very good news for everyone connected with AFC Telford United."
