Coleraine Football Club remains committed to the "delivery of its development plans" despite missing out on funding from the latest tranche of the Government's Levelling Up fund.
Then Bannsiders had hoped to secure for their £16m plans to redevelop The Showgrounds venue.
The development would include new stands at the south side next the railway track and the replacement of the Jack Doherty stand increasing the capacity to 8,000, incorporating provisions for player development, hospitality, media as well as safe modern spectator amenities. Facilities would also include a community pitch to meet the growing demand from the local groups.
