JOIN THE JOURNEY
Join the Journey
Ards FC is committed to planning for a brighter future on and off the field of play and as
such is undertaking a strategic planning process, alongside a focus on bringing Senior
football back to Newtownards, in the form of a new home ground.
The Club would like all stakeholders to engage in this process and are developing a
Strategic Plan for 2021-2025, which will outline the clubs ambitions and priorities, not
only in relation to facilities, but across a range of aspects such as football development
and excellence, to financial growth and stability.

The club has the ambition to yet again be at the heart of the local community and
leading on football excellence. Through input from stakeholders such as sponsors,
players, volunteers, staff, coaches and supporters, the plan will document how this will
be achieved.
Even if you are not a current supporter or engaged in club activities in any way, the Club
would like to hear your views, opinions and priorities in relation to the clubs future. This
information will be used to shape the plan, culminating in a shared vision moving
towards the clubs 125th anniversary in 2025.
Chairman Warren Patton commented
“A big part of our plan is for our Local Communities to Join our Journey and get involved
in shaping the future of the Club. We welcome all our sporting neighbours from the Ards
Pennisula, across to Killyleagh and further afield to contribute. This really is an exciting
time for everyone within the Community”
