This week Connahs Quay Nomads announced plans to build a new 4000-seat stadium. The club can dream big and success will surely come.
After winning their second league title in a row back in 2021, the Nomads have had to deal with challenges on and off the pitch including points deductions, managerial changes and ground-sharing.
So, with all that they’ve had to deal with, surely the good times are coming again?
Since the 2023-24 season, the team has had to groundshare with Flint Town United after having tenancy problems with the owners of the Deeside stadium.

Through all this, the Nomads have battled on and with illustrious early plans for a new stadium, this will make the club a lot more attractive.
How quickly will this project get up and running?
On the 11th November 2025, former Sky Sports News presenter Bryn Law broke the news as club officials and fans started to put things into perspective.
With the new plans set in place, the town of Connah’s Quay is set for an exciting future.
By hosting their home matches, Flintshire could gain recognition by holding international rugby and football games, attracting significant revenue and showing their ambition.
For the nomads, things are looking exciting on and off pitch, the team are currently on an 8-match unbeaten run in the league and have skyrocketed up the table to just a point off 2nd with a game in hand.
Off the pitch, these ambitious plans are a statement to the rest of the Cymru Premier.
Slowly but surely Connahs Quay are building something good and sooner rather than later their rewards will follow.
What will the new stadium do for the club?
As the nomads have adapted to the Essity Stadium, which is the home of Flint Town United, they will surely not have any problems when they play at their ‘actual home ground’.
A 4000-capacity stadium will surpass all the grounds currently in the Cymru Premier, and this might give the team the edge.
Attendances are bound to shoot up, revenue will increase dramatically, and all of this will add up to make Connah’s Quay a more attractive football club.
The Flintshire club currently operates on a hybrid model which allows some of the team to play full-time, but many others in the team have day jobs.
The most important part is that the team, fans, and community have a stable home, and that ground sharing will be a distant memory.
This is a club with great ambition and more than likely it will lead to success. Strong sides like The New Saints (TNS) currently lead the way but when Connah’s Quay starts building, they will be a driving force in Wales.
