Gillingham FC announces plans for new stadium & hotel


Gillingham Football Club has published plans for a new stadium which will be more than double the size of its existing Priestfield stadium.

The new stadium will accommodate up to 24,000 spectators and will be one of the biggest stadiums in League One.

The proposed 40-acre site is at Mill Hill about a mile from the existing ground. It will be opposite the University of Kent’s Centre for Sports Studies, the club’s training facilities and directly next to the Medway Dragons Rugby Club who would also use the facilities.

The plans also include a hotel, a health club, a tennis academy and 300 homes.
