Ards have taken a major step towards building a new stadium after signing a long-term lease on six acres of the Floodgates land on the Portaferry Road in Newtownards.
The club, currently playing in the Lough 41 Championship, plans to build a new football ground that is capable of hosting Danske Bank Premiership fixtures.
The proposed 2,000-capacity stadium will include two seated stands, changing room facilities, floodlights and a car park.
