Gresford Athletic can confirm that they have made an agreement with Airbus UK Broughton to groundshare at The Hollingsworth Group Stadium until at least the end of the 2024/25 season.

This will mean that the Gresford Athletic First Team will play all of their remaining home matches at The Hollingsworth Group Stadium for the rest of the 2024/25 season, with a potential for this to continue further if required.

To confirm, the Gresford Athletic Reserves and Under 17s teams will continue to play at Clappers Lane, with the Gresford Athletic Junior sides also staying within Gresford, ensuring that our presence remains in the village during this time.

This move comes after the club decided that the changing and increasing criteria demands at The Rock meant that the groundshare agreement made with Cefn Druids in February 2023 had become untenable. The club felt that it needed to look at alternative options to ensure that we could retain our ethos of being a family football club whilst continuing to play in the second tier of Welsh football.

We have informed Cefn Druids of this decision and thank them for their help at a time when we needed it by allowing us to use the unbelievable facilities at The Rock. We wish them all the best for the future.

In the meantime, the club are working tirelessly to secure and produce a permanent home ground, back in Wrexham. This is a process that has been ongoing for some time and we hope to find somewhere that is truly our home - somewhere we can finally place our marker down and look to grow from, allowing the club to continue to progress in the way that we all hope for. We can assure you that, when appropriate, the club will make an announcement on the progress with securing our permanent home and we hope to bring you this soon.

We would like to give a huge thank you to our friends at Airbus UK Broughton for accommodating us without any hesitation. We really appreciate their support and look forward to enjoying the rest of the season in their company, using the fantastic facilities at The Hollingsworth Group Stadium.

Please join us as we take on Prestatyn Town in the JD Welsh Cup at The Hollingsworth Group Stadium on Saturday 21st September 2024, with kick off at 2:00pm. We hope to see many of you there to get behind the lads!
