Denbigh building for Premier future
Friday 03 April 2009
DENBIGH Town's long-term plan to achieve Welsh Premier League football is gradually gaining momentum.
Small steps rather than one huge leap is the option being taken by the club, with Denbigh planning to bring their Central Park base up to Welsh Premier League standards in stages.
Denbigh aim to build eight floodlight columns at the club's Central Park ground and the plans were given Denbigh Town Council-backing at their meeting last Monday.
The chairman of the town council's planning committee Cllr Graham Maudsley said: "What we felt was the lights need to be directed so they do not shine into adjoining properties and restrictions on the times they can be used."
But Cllr Maudsley added that they were needed if Denbigh Town were to realise their ambitions to possibly progress to the Welsh Premier League.
That was a view echoed by Denbigh Town chairman Clwyd Williams.
"To get to the League of Wales, that's what we need," he said.
"We are a long way off from that at the moment. We have applied for a grant for this season."
The next steps at Denbigh towards upgrading Central Park include moving the dug-outs and tarmacing areas around the pitch.
No firm time scale has yet been put in place for when the club wants to achieve Welsh Premier League status.
"It's very difficult to say," added Williams. "We need quite a lot of things done to the ground - it's not going to be very soon."
