Whitehaven RLFC have announced an amazing £6million project to revamp their home and put the club at the heart of the community.
(PHOTOS : Mike McKenzie) The redevelopment of the Recreation Ground would mean the creation of a new building –
The Hub – this would be a community asset and the main floor can have a capacity to host events for up to 700 people, hydrotherapy pools (the nearest one currently is Carlisle) to be used for rehabilitation and spaces for community groups.
The RLFC ground would also be overhauled, with the installation of a 4G pitch, the creation of brand new stands and a move to return a roof to the Popular Side.
Mark Stamper Director at Whitehaven RLFC gave a passionate presentation to a very busy room of supporters at the club about the club's vision of a team filled with local talent and a modern facility to bring the community together under one roof.
