Working party aimed at bringing Worcester City Football Club home holds first meeting

A new working party aimed at bringing Worcester City Football Club back to the city has held its first meeting.

Worcester City Council’s Managing Director is chairing the working party, which includes councillors alongside representatives of the Football Club’s management board and its Supporters’ Trust.

The working party will look at the full range of potential sites across Worcester where a new club ground could be built.

The group has been established following the arrival of the new Labour leadership at Worcester City Council.

Council Leader Adrian Gregson said: “We are committed to bringing the Football Club back to Worcester and will work with them to realise that ambition.

“This was a very successful first meeting where we agreed to work together to explore all options for helping the club to play home matches in Worcester again. The working party will meet again in two weeks and at regular intervals after that so that we can continue to work collectively to bring the club back to Worcester.”

The working party includes Anthony Hampson, Chairman of Worcester City Football Club; Rob Crean, Secretary of the Football Club’s Supporters’ Trust; Cllr Gregson and Cllr Louis Stephen of the Green Party.

The group will not discuss the Supporters’ Trust’s current planning application for a new stadium at Perdiswell but this will still be considered as an option, dependent on the outcome of the planning application. The application will need to be determined on its own merits, but no date has been set yet for when it will come to the Planning Committee.
