WORCESTER City Football Club's owner has set out a 10 year vision to bring the club back to the city and transform it into the area's top youth talent hub. 

Further promotions up the football ladder and making the club, which almost went bust last year sustainable are also on his checklist to achieve by 2034. 

Key to unlocking the club's 'huge potential', according to Simon Lancaster, is a new home - the mooted Worcestershire Community Sports Park, with a planning application expected to be submitted at the end of the year.

However, Mr Lancaster said it was 'impossible to answer' when the new ground in Fernhill Heath would be welcoming fans. 

Initial plans for the ground were released in February, with fans giving their feedback through a consultation. 

Amendments to the original plans are currently being finalised.

Mr Lancaster told the Worcester News, although the capacity hadn't been finalised yet, the club would be looking to seat 500 fans. 

The plan also looks to provide a cricket pitch and community building for other sports. 

On Thursday, the club also announced a new development side for next season as part of plans to transform Worcester's youth system into the best academy in the area. 

Worcester City endured a nightmare decade since leaving their previous ground, St George's Lane, in 2013, with spells spent playing in Kidderminster and Bromsgrove before moving to Claines Lane, their current temporary home. 

In 2017, the club were forced to drop down three divisions due to 'financial difficulties.' 

Mr Lancaster said owning their own home will bring many benefits to the club and allow it to propel forward. 

He said it would help contribute towards the aims of further promotions over the next ten years, having won the Hellenic League Premier Division last season. 

Mr Lancaster said: "I am so excited by the progress the club is making on and off the pitch. 

"Getting our own home would be massive for the club, our youth teams and our fans and it would be a hugely important factor in our progress toward sustainability. 

"The club has lost money for decades and some bad decisions have been made in the past there is no denying that, that is why the supporter's trust allowed me to take over. 

"We have put things in place with investment to improve the first team and also recruit a commercial manager so we can buck the trend and get some forward momentum. 

"But whilst I feel we have turned a corner and are headed in the right direction, we are still losing money and have further to go to reach a point where we are sustainable without any investment from me."

Mr Lancaster also revealed other ambitions were in the pipeline, but said he didn't want to 'over-promise and under-deliver.'
