This
is an artists impression of T.N.S.' proposed new 'super
stadium' in Oswestry. The new ground, which is to include 3000
seats in order for the club to fully meet new UEFA Stadium
criteria, enabling the Saints to play all European matches at
their new stadium.
The proposed
site for the new ground is Oswestry Town's old Park Hall
Stadium on the outskirts of the border-town. T.N.S. are
reportedly close to purchasing the land, and any new
development will be in partnership with Oswestry Council who
are planning to include the new stadium in an ambitious
leisure park, which will span 25 acres.
The bad
news is that any work will not start until at least 2007, as
miles of red tape must first be passed, including gaining
planning permission and outside funding, meaning the full-time
professionals remaining at their Treflan home in
Llansantffraid for at least another 3 years.
