New Arena to be constructed by Reading FC Soon

Reading FC set to construct a new arena

Reading FC is planning to erect a training ground in Winnersh at The Forest School. The team has planning permission for the new ground giving them the green light to put plans in place. The training ground will change the face of the current area beside Madejski Stadium. This will be knocked down later this year for the development of Royal Elm Park.

A facility for the whole community

The cable arena will be home to a 55m by 37m synthetic grass pitch and be located on The Forest School.  This will be for Reading FC Academy as well as the pupils that attend the school. The local community will also be welcome to use the facility. The dome is 10.5m high and will be open from 8 in the morning to 10:30 in the evening. The grounds around it will also be landscaped and improved. The projects were approved recently at Working Borough Council planning committee assembly.

Although there is no exact date for the construction to start, the application outlines a set timescale of 3 years. The Royal Elm Park is a planned development that will see over six hundred new houses, a conference facility as well as a 250 bed hotel erected on the ground beside the Mad Stad. Furthermore, Reading FC have support for the ground breaking training area at Bearwood Park.  The new owner of this Arena said that they are excited to get the job started at the latest training centre.

According to Dai Yongge “One of my first priorities will be to visit the development site for the new training ground.”

When used in stadiums, synthetic grass provides an all weather training ground. It also requires hardly any maintenance which keeps the costs down.
