Football Is Coming Home!

I am very pleased to announce that after many years of uncertainty and heartache the club has finally received approval from Slough Council to bring the club back into Slough – where it belongs!

Confirmation was received to our proposals on Monday evening which included:

1. A new community football stadium 2. 81 residential dwellings (the majority of which will be affordable) 3. A 3G ‘state of the art’ artificial pitch

I am sure you agree that this is fantastic news which will provide a focal point within Slough and present opportunities for increased participation in sport and associated activities. As well as providing a new home for the club the facility will deliver community activities which will enhance public health, promote community engagement and provide great opportunities for young people.

We are all aware of how much time this has taken and I would like to thank everyone for their patience. During the process we have been keen to work with all parties and the club is very grateful for the hard work, time and assistance that the officers have given the club.

In due course more detailed plans will be released and we are now working towards having a detailed planning application submitted by the end of the year. It is anticipated that the stadium will be completed sometime early in 2012.

Once again thanks to everyone who has been involved with taking this forward.

Have a great summer!

Steve
