Ground

A new ground for the club has been in the planning stages for some time, however it has been beset with problems. It was envisaged that a £6 million sports stadium (sharing with Whitehaven R.L.F.C.) would be designed with an 8,000-capacity, though it is believed the final price tag could be higher. This is now mothballed, and upgraded individual facilities will instead be installed, including new clubhouse.

The new facility, was hoped to be part of a sports village for the site, and was hoped that it would become a centrepiece of the £20 million Pow Beck regeneration, in which Copeland Council and West Lakes Renaissance are the most significant players. [1] [2] [3]
