Save Ashby Ivanhoe FC's Football Ground

We need your help to save the site

Ashby Ivanhoe Football Club was formed in 1948 and is based in North West Leicestershire.

On June 1st 2020 we reconstituted the football club as a Community Interest Company, which means that it is a member owned, not for profit business.

Our Visions for the club are:

Build on the great facilities to make them even better for football in our community.

To create a COMMUNITY HUB, where people from the town can meet, hold their events and have a great family time.

Welcome everyone - not just football related but all sports and non-sport activities.

To provide long term security of the ground for our community and club.

To achieve the visions we need to:

Purchase the ground - achieved.

Create a new 9 v 9 size floodlit artificial training pitch

Build four changing rooms and two officials’ changing rooms

Refurbish the clubroom and bar for extended community use

Create on-site classroom and flexible multi-use space for football development, education, club meetings and other community use

Build a new drainage scheme to the existing grass main pitch

Create new frontage, signage and security gates with new car parking and landscaping

Club office space

This will give us a 1500 capacity football ground with a community training facility, an achievement for Ashby I’m sure you will agree.

To do this we need your help…

We need to raise £1.3 million to achieve all of the above. The first milestone and the most important one is to purchase the ground. This has been achieved.

Our next milestone is planning permission. Over the coming months, however long it takes we will be giving you lots of opportunities to help us fundraise, bingo nights, race nights, donation buckets and lots more.

Check in at the club, look on our website, suggest ideas but above all - PLEASE DONATE, however small!
