Hello,
Can anyone advise where I can view details of the stadium upgrade plans, new stadium, or whatever the plans are now…
My preference would be to stay in the existing stadium and pursue government grants for an upgrade, if possible.
Thanks,
Gareth.

i don't think any plans have been published yet, but what's been in the press is a new stadium will be built on the site of Borough Park. I do think it's about time we had an update of what's going on mind you.

The longer the wait with no news the more worrying it seems ,surely things must have moved on from the meeting at the Carnegie the area has been starved of facilities for too long and I've just got this fear that the conservatives will pull the plug on the money pledged

Not a lot of detail in that statement we really need work to start and promotion from this league asap, hopefully a briefing from our board soon |

Time indeed for those promises to be turned into actual delivery.
From reading the local press it is obvious that both West Cumbrian League Clubs have struggled financially, pity they didn't come together and get in Super League but that is now water under the bridge.
Reds need to progress too and a new Stadium event if shared may prove the best way ahead. Borough Park will always hold a special place for many but New Year new beginnings for all sport in West Cumbria

The last I heard was the plan was likely going to be to keep the old borough park terraces, knock down the stands and clubhouse and build new ones. The white paint behind the derwent end is a test to see how they can renovate the current terraces.
I think a huge part of the cost and time would be demolition of the old terraces and removing the waste. Therefore this would eliminate that.
I'd imagine we will go to a 3g pitch also. Which does make sense with the ground sharing but imo it's not quite as good to watch as a spectator although probably suits our current style of play.

cumbriacrack.com/2023/02/03/plans-for-workingtons-shared-stadium-takes-major-step-forward/Looks promising but my biggest fear is work starts and it doesn't get fully completed (probably due to funding )and we end up with a stadium with only one or 2 sides to it. Taken from the website in the article "What we can tell you now is that Phase One of the build will include, as a minimum, a new main grandstand with changing rooms and hospitality areas, plus lots of additional space. The next phases will follow on at a later date and we’ll keep you informed about all of those." Sounds suspect

Some bitter and twisted Town fans? on their forum.
Luddites, let them stop where they are. It will not be long before the begging bowl is out again or administration!

I seem to remember similar posts from some fans from our side when a stadium was proposed for derwent park many moons ago. you'll never keep everyone happy unfortunately. |
