Major plans have been announced for a huge redevelopment of AFC St Austell.

The club is set to embark on a multimillion pound project, in attempt to bring a boost to mid-Cornwall that they are hoping will benefit both football fans and the wider community.

The project includes a complete redevelopment of the clubs existing facilities at Poltair Park which will act as a community hub.

We can expect to see a new state of the art Stadia 3G pitch, a contemporary club house, new changing rooms, a grandstand complex and an inclusive community venue.

Existing members of the club expressed their support and excitement for the project during a recent public presentation of the proposals held in Lilywhites Lounge at Poltair Park.
