Welcome to the Tilekiln Football Park Website
The Tilekiln Football Park Website provides information and details on the Hastings United Football Club new stadium and ancillary facilities project which will produce much needed new state of the art facilities for both the Club and very importantly the Community at large.
The original relocation of Hastings United centred on a partnership scheme between Hastings United, Horntye Park Management Company and developers who proposed the relocation of Hastings United and Horntye Park Sports Complex to a purpose built development to be called the Combe Valley Sports Village.
Funding for the scheme was to come from the construction of residential properties on the Pilot Field ground of Hastings United and on Horntye Park the base for the Horntye Park Sports Complex.
Unfortunately the scheme had to be abandoned due to the house builder withdrawing from the scheme. The house builder’s decision led to Hastings United deciding that it should develop its own relocation scheme that would service both the Club and the Community.
Tilekiln Playing Fields, a site owned by Hastings Borough Council, was chosen as the most suitable site for a football based development and this has been supported by Hastings Borough Council.
The facilities proposed for Tilekiln Football Park include a football stadium, designed for a semi professional football club, plus facilities for both the Club and the Community including two 3G floodlit pitches with changing block, other ancillary facilities consisting of social areas which include a function suite and sports bar, sports therapy suite, small gym, meeting rooms, classrooms, offices, and a floodlit Multi Use Games Area specifically for community use.
Hastings United have well documented problems with its existing facilities at its council owned Pilot Field ground. The facilities are antiquated, very costly to maintain and just not fit for purpose in the modern day. New facilities will benefit both the football club and also the community at large.
