Stadium News Round-Up


Cambridge City have received final planning permission for their new stadium. The 3,000 capacity ground is to be built in greenbelt land outside the city, with the Government agreeing to the use of greenbelt land yesterday. The club have been homeless since having to move out of Milton Road at the end of the 2012/13 season, with their new ground hoped to be ready by the summer of 2016.

Kettering have announced plans to bid for their former Rockingham Road home. The Poppies left the ground in 2011 after eviction for Nene Park and have led a nomadic existence since, taking in two further stadia, but the ground owners put the site up for sale last week with sealed bids due by the end of the month. The stadium remains standing but is expected to require substantial work to bring it back to use.

Gloucester City have had outline planning permission for their proposed new stadium approved unanimously by their local Council. The 4,000 capacity ground is on the site of their old Meadow Park home that was wrecked by flooding in 2007, and will have a 1,000 seat stand and three sides of covered terracing.
