A scheme to build a new home for Scarborough Football Club and for its McCain Stadium to be redeveloped for housing, has been revealed.

Club chairman Malcolm Reynolds said talks had been held with Scarborough Borough Council officers about building a stadium near Dunslow Road, Eastfield, which will also have a multi-purpose sports hall.

If the council's development committee gives the go-ahead work could start within months and the new stadium open by late next year, said Mr Reynolds.

The present Seamer Road ground has been Scarborough FC's headquarters for more than a century.

"Our plan has been approved by the Football League and the Football Association," said Mr Reynolds.
