Ground share with Newark FC

Ground share with Newark FC

Harry Worgan8 May 2021 - 09:57

We will be ground sharing with Newark FC next season.

After confirmation from the board of the Northern Premier League, we can confirm that we will groundshare with Newark FC for the 2021/22 season.

The agreement will see the step five side play their home league and cup matches at Greenwich Avenue next season, after unfortunately being evicted from their ground by the landowner who plans to build houses on the site.

This will not impact either clubs’ fixtures, as when we play at home they will be scheduled in for an away fixture and vice versa.

Gary Clarke, Chairman of Newark FC, said:” We would like to publicly thank Basford United for allocating this move for us, they have been absolutely fantastic in every way.

“Basford have always set the benchmark for us and we will enjoy using their fantastic and ever improving facilities, we also look forward to working alongside everyone at the club and wish them all the best for the season ahead.

“The agreement secures the continuation of the football club at step five and gives us valuable time to engage with local councillors to negotiate options to find a new home in Newark to relocate and build the club at the heart of the community where it belongs.”

We look forward to welcoming Newark FC’s players, staff and fans to Greenwich Avenue throughout the season.

Our Chairman, Chris Munroe, said: “I would like on behalf of Basford United to formally welcome all connected with Newark FC to Greenwich Avenue and I have no doubt we will provide a superb venue for all its fans, players and officials.”
