Exciting times for Aberystwyth Town Football Club as they gear up for a big makeover! 🎉 Plans to revamp the historic Park Avenue Stadium have just been approved, marking a new chapter for the iconic ground that’s been the club’s home since 1907.
The club’s ambitious project will demolish the existing main stand to make way for a brand new clubhouse, turnstiles, changing rooms, and more. The highlight? A sleek new 310-seat stand along with improved terraces for both seated and standing fans, complete with new roof canopies.
Aberystwyth Town is one of Wales’ oldest football clubs, proudly established in 1884. As one of the founding members of the Cymru Premier, they’ve never faced relegation since the league’s inception in 1992. The loyal fan base has been swelling, with nearly 6,000 people cheering on the men’s team every year.
With matches broadcast live and streamed globally, the Football Association of Wales aims to boost the league’s profile, making these upgrades crucial for complying with UEFA standards. Plus, other local teams often call Park Avenue their home for training and matches, making these developments even more vital.
However, it’s not all smooth sailing. Natural Resources Wales (NRW) raised flooding concerns, saying the current flood assessments were lacking. But, Ceredigion Council’s committee is confident the enhancements will not only uplift the stadium but benefit the whole community.
The council unanimously backed the proposal despite NRW’s objections, seeing this as a golden opportunity to elevate the area’s footballing facilities. Stay tuned as Aberystwyth embarks on this exciting journey!
Can’t wait to see the transformation unfold! 🏟️💚 #FootballFuture #AberystwythTownFC #CymruPremier #StadiumUpgrade
