Cambridge City appoint principal contractor for Sawston stadium

Cambridge City have appointed a principal contractor for their new stadium in Sawston.

ATB Sports Solutions will lead the project for a new 3,000-plus capacity home for the Lilywhites.

The Borehamwood-based company were chosen for their proven experience of delivering sports stadia to a similar scale.

They have worked with Durham, Northants and Surrey County Cricket Clubs along with QPR, Brighton and Saracens RFC.

ATB Sports Solutions will provide civils, site infrastructure, the natural turf pitch including floodlights, foundations for the main stand, ancillary structures and landscaping.

City chairman, Kevin Satchell said: “The announcement of ATB Sports Solutions as principal contractor is a massive step forward in the project.

“Their experience will help us develop a stadium that will benefit the club for years to come alongside the local community. We look forward to work starting in the New Year.”

There has still been no announcement on plans for the rest of the Isthmian League season.

It has been on hold since the lockdown in November, with City having only played four games in the North Division so far.

Clubs have been told that they will be given at least 14 days’ notice of any restart.
