We are pleased to announce the following exciting upcoming changes to the club around the ground as well as to the Ladies and Junior teams, as laid out by club owner David Hilton:
- MTFC Ladies have received an immediate minimum guaranteed investment of £20,000 for season 2025/26.
- Funds have been made available to our junior sides that struggle to fund new kit and accessories.
- Over £22,000 committed to machinery for pitch maintenance and enhancement.
- New stadium/pitch speakers and a tannoy system covering all areas of the ground to help improve the matchday atmosphere and to ensure that any announcements can be received by everyone in attendance.
- Conversion of the current bar to a sports bar with giant video wall screens showing Sky Sports, TNT and all other live sports. A large new bar and cellar, a new dance floor, gaming machines, football and pool tables and a state-of-the-art sound system.
- A new board room including a private bar.
- A new matchday hospitality suite for sponsors
- Starlink Internet to provide fast broadband, both fixed at the club and roaming equipment to ensure media updates are always available away from home.
- Impressive new home and away changing facilities.
- We have assembled one of the strongest squads the club has had in recent years, and we are very excited for the 25/26 season and beyond.
- Our sister site MatlockTown.TV will soon be launched, which will offer sponsorship opportunities, improved match highlights, interviews with the manager, players and supporters, plus much more.
- A new internal and external CCTV system to align with licensing requirements
- All of the above is already happening right now, and most will be completed in time for the Chesterfield FC fixture on Saturday, 5th July.
- Further to this, planning is currently being worked on to create a clubhouse garden in place of the current car park, along with enhancements to the Town End Stand in order to improve our supporters’ match day experience.
- Finally, a new single-storey stand and further facilities are planned, including parking for our Causeway Lane side in 2026.
We’ve had several questions from people who have noticed the hive of activity at the club, and we are excited to share these improvements with our fantastic fanbase as we continue to look to the future with great ambition and a desire to build upon the foundations of our great club.
