Council Statement: LNER Community Stadium

11th January 2020

City of York Council have released the following response to whether there is doubt that a game will take place on 9 February, whether they can guarantee the stadium will open and if more delays are anticipated.

"The stadium is due to be handed over on 4 February. For this to happen GLL and Buckingham need to have held a minimum of 3 test events. These are reliant on completing adequate commissioning and certification."

For press enquiries relating to the new stadium please contact GLL and Buckingham.
