Have your say on the idea of bringing Newport FC back closer to the heart of Newport whilst improving facilities for skateboarders with new ramps and a pump track, plus better provision for cricket and more
The chairman of Newport Football Club urges fans, staff and players not to panic over news they have been served notice to quit their ground by August 2017.
Secretary of Newport FC Supporters Trust says there are very sound footballing reasons for upgrading to an all-weather pitch, as it will always be available for training and matchday use.
Plans by South Coast Leisure will provide the club with a new floodlit pitch, main stand and bar/function room facilities on land off The Racecourse on one of the main routes serving Newport.
The option to buy the land originally included permission for “non-food retail or light industrial uses“, but the Cabinet member has now approved a variation opening the door for two more supermarkets.
