A NEW football club is set to take over a pitch in Eastwood.
The Coronation Park ground was home to Eastwood Town, but they were locked out in January with the council saying the club owed them over £45,000.
The club subsequently resigned from the Evo-Stik First Division South.
The new club – Eastwood Community Football Club – said it has agreed terms with Broxtowe Borough Council to take on the ground.
A club statement said: "Our vision is to create a sustainable business model alongside a thriving football programme and to see Coronation Park become not only a football club but a community hub used by different groups from all areas of the community."
