Basingstoke FC’s £10m stadium plans on track
Basingstoke Town Football Club’s (BTFC) plans to build a new £10m stadium have received the backing of Basingstoke and Deane Council (BDC).
The 5,000 capacity stadium is to be located west of the Hilton Basingstoke hotel and BTFC hope to begin the 2014-15 season in the new development.
Along with the stadium the club plans to create a £500,000 all-weather training pitch at the Costello Technology College as well as an £85,000 multi-use games area for local children.
The stadium is to be funded by replacing the existing Camrose stadium with a 90,000 sq ft (27,432 sq m) retail park.
The club has been in negotiations with BDC who own the area since unveiling plans for the new development this time last year.
The original timeframe for completion of the new stadium was March 2014; the club now hopes to move in at the start of the 2014-15 season.
The Camrose has been the Hampshire club's home since 1946.
