Stevenage FC to build new training facility
Stevenage Football Club (SFC) has announced plans to build a new training facility after it acquired the 40-acre (16.2-hectare) former BAE Systems sports ground at Bragbury End.
The npower League One club said that its plans were yet to be finalised, although the venue is to house up to six football pitches and provide a base for its first team and scholars. SFC chair Phil Wallace said: "[The site has] fallen into disrepair through years of non-use, but the structure of the pitches is still there and we will bring it back to its former glory."
The Bragbury End Sports Ground formerly provided training facilities for England's senior football team during the 1960s and 1970s, while it was more recently used by Switzerland during the 1996 European Championships.
