Whitehaven Amateur Football Club is a football club in Whitehaven, Cumbria. The club are currently members of the West Lancashire League Division One and play at the County Ground.
Ground
A new ground for the club has been in the planning stages for some time, however it has been beset with problems. It was envisaged that a £6 million sports stadium (sharing with Whitehaven R.L.F.C.) would be designed with an 8,000-capacity, though it is believed the final price tag could be higher. However, upgraded individual facilities will instead be installed, including a new clubhouse.
The new facility was hoped to be part of a sports village for the site as part of a £20 million Pow Beck regeneration, in which Copeland Council and West Lakes Renaissance are the most significant players.[1][2][3]
