UK regeneration specialist St Modwen is developing a new 6,000-capacity stadium for Worcester City FC on a 3-hectare site on the edge of the city. With the move from the site in St. George's Lane that the football club has called its home for 102 years, Worcester City FC aims at having a modern stadium to meet Football League requirements and to fulfil the ambitions of the club.
UK regeneration specialist St Modwen is developing a new 6,000-capacity stadium for Worcester City FC on a 3-hectare site on the edge of the city. With the move from the site in St. George's Lane that the football club has called its home for 102 years, Worcester City FC aims at having a modern stadium to meet Football League requirements and to fulfil the ambitions of the club.
A planning application for the stadium, to be located on Nunnery Way, will be submitted in early 2008. The project involves a joint venture agreement between Worcester City FC and St Modwen under which the developer will deliver a new stadium that will be acquired by the club upon completion.
The stadium is the catalyst and the key part of a 8-hectare development. 'The remaining 5 hectares will be developed into an exciting mixed use scheme which will complement and support the football stadium and bring other commercial uses to benefit the city as a whole,' St Modwen chairman Anthony Glossop said in a statement.
