Worcester City is moving to a larger stadium, leaving behind Claines Lane for Sixways, boosting their future prospects and fan experience.
They’ll leave Claines Lane behind for Sixways Stadium. This stadium used to host rugby games. It can hold 11,000 fans, plus more for hospitality. That’s a lot of room!
Bournemouth’s Vitality Stadium is the smallest in the Premier League. It fits just over 11,000 fans. So, Worcester City is making a smart move.
Life in non-league football can be tough. Having a solid home is crucial for survival. Worcester City has faced challenges, especially with growing attendance.
Club owner Simon Lancaster shared some struggles. Claines Lane has been good, but it’s not enough anymore. The pitch needs work, and it’s costly.
Worcester City is aiming for promotion again. They’re currently third in their league. They want to secure a permanent home at Worcestershire Community Sports Park.
Sixways will be their home until at least 2029-30. The club has a history of moving around. They even shared grounds with other teams for years.
Now, they’re excited about the future. Sixways offers modern facilities and more space for fans. They’re planning events and improvements for everyone.
This move is a fresh start for Worcester City. It’s a chance to grow their fanbase and make a mark in the community. Exciting times ahead!
