City of Liverpool FC currently share a home ground outside the city limits
Since formation in 2015, the club - which plays in the Northern Premier League - has been on the lookout for a ground to call home. Having so far been unable to put down roots, the team has shared a home with Bootle FC at the Berry Street Garage Stadium.
The proposals include an enclosed community football ground for almost 2,000 spectators, with a 3G artificial grass pitch, plus associated storage, parking and access arrangements. The application said: “The redevelopment will provide for organised junior, youth and community football at the site; alongside a skate/bmx park, a children’s play park and a community garden.”
“A skatepark, that had previously fallen into disrepair, has been partially refurbished by local skateboarders. The remainder of the park is of poor quality grassland, displaying signs of vandalism and neglect. In 2020, the King George V Sports Complex in Huyton was transferred to the club on an initial two-year sub-lease, representing the remainder of Livv Housing Group’s tenure of the site. A further year lease has now been agreed between the club and Knowsley Council, providing lead time to agree the terms of a long-term lease.
