Future Plans
In February 2010 AFC Fylde confirmed it will benefit from ambitious plans from Sports Charitable organisation called 'The Haythornthwaite Sports Foundation' (HSF) to re-locate to a new Greenlands Sports Village. The 26 acre site, located on farm land just outside Wrea Green, was purchased by David Haythornthwaite who has a vision to providing a Community Sports Facility consisting of a 3G Full size pitch, outdoor playing fields for local junior sports clubs in the area and a new ground for AFC Fylde which will also include community facilities ie Community Hall. The proposed facility will be located on the outskirts of Wrea Green close to the A583.
