Eagle Valley Building Starts Soon
6th March, 2008
Building work on Arnold Town's new ?1.6m football ground is set to begin this month.
Landscaping and planning work has been taking place over the winter months at the Eagle Valley site between Oxton Road and the A614.
Club officials say the development is on schedule and that work to put up the clubhouse, offices and stadium for 3,000 supporters will start soon.
It will mean their 500 members and 31 teams will be able to start the 2008/09 season at their new home with 11 pitches.
Chairman Roy Francis told the Nottingham Evening Post: "All the grants are in place, the landscaping work is on time and progressing according to schedule.
"Everything is going to plan at the moment but we have had hold-ups in the past so we can't assume it won't happen again.
"But at the moment it is all going exceptionally well. The whole club will now be in one site, that is the main advantage."
The club's move came about after it was promised a combined ?1.4m in grants from the Football Foundation, Sport England and a stadium improvement fund.
