After measures have been put into place to upgrade the facilities at the RACE stadium during the summer, we are delighted to announce that West Bromwich Albion FC will be playing their U23 PL2 and PL Cup games and also their FA Women’s National League games at Keys Park for the 2022/23 season.

In order to facilitate this partnership it has been necessary to upgrade the floodlights and the old halogen lamps will shortly be replaced with modern, high-tech, LED lamps.
This upgrade will give the improved luminosity that the FA Premier League requires to enable a facility to host PL2 games.
In addition, we will be providing a specific changing facility for female match officials as part of the stadium improvements.
The LED floodlights will significantly reduce our power consumption, thereby reducing the clubs environmental footprint. This will also be seen locally, as the high tech system is designed to give much lower light spillage into the neighbouring residential properties.
The much improved lighting will greatly enhance the match experience for Pitmen supporters for our own evening games and will also ‘future proof’ the stadium for our own club’s longer term ambitions.
We expect the partnership with West Bromwich Albion FC to greatly assist our club’s future development.
