Cambridge City hope to move into new Sawston stadium next month 11 years on from Milton Road closure
After 11 years without a home of their own, Cambridge City are hopeful that they will finally be able to move into their new stadium in Sawston next month.
It has been a long and arduous project for the club, one that has been plagued by setbacks amid growing costs.
However, while there are still a number of boxes to be ticked, the Lilywhites could be running out at their new home as early as the start of next month.
A statement on City’s website read: “The stadium has been buzzing with activity at the moment, as preparations ramp up for the eagerly awaited opening game.
“While a confirmed fixture is yet to be announced, we are working hard to finally get the stadium open, with the ambition of the first game being an Isthmian North match early in November.
“However, this is not guaranteed, we are still awaiting the switch-on of electrical systems which is imminent. A final visit from the FA to inspect the work we have carried out and regulatory paperwork for temporary buildings still to be approved. This all needs to be signed off before an official announcement can be made.”
This latest stadium update came a day on from City’s 3-1 win over Walthamstow – a result that moved Jamie Cureton’s side up to 12th place.
