Gloucester City Football Club's proposals for the development of a new £5m stadium in the city will go before the Gloucester City Council (next week.
The new venue would be built on the site of the club's former Meadow Park stadium - which was flooded and destroyed by the Great Gloucestershire floods in 2007. An image showing the submerged stadium, with only the crossbars of the goals visible, became synonymous with the floods.
Since 2007 Gloucester City has been forced to play its home games at the grounds of Forest Green Rovers, Cirencester Town and - most recently - at Cheltenham Town.
As part of plans for the new, modern stadium, the club has proposed to raise the entire ground site by three metres while also raising 120 metres of existing flood defences along the River Severn.
The council is expected to back the plans, which it will consider on 4 September. Details:
