CONFERENCE: Fleet launch own stadium plans

Gravesend & Northfleet F.C. have begun work on the design and feasibility of a major leisure development scheme in the area.

"We are putting together a team of professionals to work on the plans and it will include a new stadium for the Fleet," said Chairman Brian Kilcullen.

The club believe it is possible to design an arena that will be a source of pride locally without it needing to have a capacity of 20,000 plus.

Kilcullen commented: "We fully recognise the scheme must be visionary and exciting enough to bring profile and attract inward investment to the region. Our feasibility study will also focus on ensuring any scheme is financially sustainable over the long-term."

New Signing
Gravesend & Northfleet FC have signed a 24-year-old centre half from Serbia. Zeiko Popovic is going to be with the club until the end of the season. His previous clubs include Grays Athletic and Hornchurch.
