Fossetts Farm Stadium, Southend
Facts and practical information
Fossetts Farm Stadium is the provisional name for a football stadium proposed to be built in Southend-on-Sea, Essex, England as a new home for Southend United F.C. to replace its current town centre Roots Hall Stadium. The name may be changed if sponsorship for the stadium is secured. Initial proposals for the new stadium emerged in 1998; planning permission was applied for, and later confirmed by the local authority, in 2008 but at that time the scheme depended entirely on financing from a proposed adjacent retail and leisure development, which failed to happen. In 2020, a new deal was agreed, based instead on delivery of 1300 new homes, split between the Fossetts Farm site and Roots Hall. ()
