Clubhouse

The chairman of a historic Northumberland football club says it has been dealt a 'massive blow' after its training facilities and stadium were damaged by Storm Arwen. Alnwick Town AFC, which was founded in 1879, saw the bottom stand of St. James' Park completely destroyed while the stadium's top fence collapsed. The roof also blew off the recently-opened junior clubhouse at Greensfield, landing on the 3G pitch, which the club expects will be out of use for the foreseeable future. Go here for more Northumberland news and updates from Northumberland Live Tom McVie, Alnwick Town AFC chairman, said: "I'm just absolutely devastated. Particularly for the junior set up because they have worked really hard over the last three years. We all have over the last 30 - 40 years to get the club where it's at, (the new facilities) only opened last year." (Image: John V. Mason) Tom estimates that the storm has done somewhere between £20,000 - £30,000 worth of damage.  » Read More
