Hucknall Town's RM Stadium to be opened by Stags Manager Nigel Clough

Hucknall Town has confirmed that their new ground, The RM Stadium, will be opened by current Mansfield Town manager Nigel Clough.

The Yellows will be moving from Watnall Road to their new ground on Aerial Way during the 2022/23 season.

It had originally been thought that this would happen by October but the club has indicated that it will now be later than this.

A statement on the club's website said: "We thought we would update supporters on the new RM Stadium. Work is progressing very well, the car park areas are nearing completion this week. The exterior of the building is nearly completed and the internal block work is also nearly completed, with plastering anticipated to start next week. M and E services are underway.

"The building is likely to be complete sometime in October but it is anticipated that the move will not now take place until the end of November or early December.

"The new ground will be opened by Nigel Clough, Manager of Mansfield Town FC, whose father Brian Clough opened the current facilities at Watnall Road. Details of this will follow as a move date becomes clearer.

"We will provide further updates in due course."

On the pitch, Hucknall play their first home league game of the season tomorrow (Saturday 6 August) when they welcome St Andrews to Watnall Road.
