Step 4 side announces new groundshare plans 13 miles away from current home

It has recently been announced that Romford have agreed to play their home fixtures at the Brentwood Town from 2019/20 season onwards following a new groundshare deal.

The Isthmian League North Division side are currently sharing with East Thurrock United since 2018, but were at Thurrock FC from 2012 until the Fleet then folded and the ground was closed.

Back in 2009, it was announced that the club had been given permission to build a new stadium, however building work is yet to start with it being re-applied for due to the original permission expiring whilst waiting for government approval.

Romford Chairman, Steve Gardener, told the club’s website: “The club are pleased to announce they have secured a groundshare with Brentwood Town FC for next season.

“Despite the late request, Brentwood were very quick to accommodate us, and the league have confirmed their agreement this week.

“Being at Brentwood will make getting to the games easier for most supporters, and it is closer to Romford than we have played previously in recent years.

“The club wishes to put on record our thanks to Brentwood Town for assisting us, and we look forward to our new groundshare.”
