Throstle Nest Future Secured
25th June, 2010
Leeds City Council have bought the Throstle Nest ground from the administrator to help secure Farsley AFC's future.
Local community and sports facilities will also be protected under the deal, which was negotiated with administrators Mazars.
The previous club, Farsley Celtic, went into administration in June 2009.
The Council has also completed a deal to sell on the main part of the football ground to FC2010, the new name for the football club.
But, they retained the ownership of the sports hall and land proposed for new football pitches as assets for the local community.
Cllr Adam Ogilvie, executive member for leisure, said:
"We are delighted that we have been able to safeguard Farsley AFC's facilities - especially the use of the sports hall by the local community and football coaching for young people in West Leeds.
"Completing this deal also allows Chartford Homes to move on with plans for their proposed housing development, which includes making funds available for improvements to the sports hall and the creation of two new junior soccer pitches, improving the leisure facilities for the local population.
"We look forward to following the re-formed club in the league next season and wish them the very best of success in doing the city proud."
