Kidsgrove submit stadium plans

The club have been playing their matches on Hollinwood Road for 58 years and, these plans represent a significant development in the club's history as we look to move forward into a new era and the work done will certainly help the club to progress.

The plans will see a new building built at the ground, which will house two new lounges for matchday sponsors, a new office for the club staff to work in and, a new bar and community room for people of the town to use.

We also plan to build a memorial wall on the side of the new building where supporters can buy plaques in remembrance of loved ones who've passed away.

These plans will replace the current portacabins structures that the club currently use and are becoming uneconomical to keep repairing.

Chairman Mick Fitzjohn said: "I'm delighted that we've been able to submit planning permission for two new areas for people who wish to sponsor our matches, as well as a bar and an office for the club.

"We want to be able to use the bar and lounges not only on matchdays but also non matchdays to help us generate more revenue as a football club.

"By generating more revenue, it will allow Kidsgrove Athletic FC to be more involved in the local community and, as a local Non-League football club, we must be at the heart of the community."
