A FOOTBALL club has launched a bid to renovate its ground.

Maldon and Tiptree FC has applied to the FA to be a part of the ‘Transfer Deal’ bursary from builders’ merchant Buildbase.

The club hopes to make turnstile and footpath improvements and create a disabled access and viewing point.

The Buildbase renovation programme has been running since the company became the title sponsor of the FA Trophy and Vase in 2016.

Boss Paul Roche said: “This year we’re giving away more opportunities for clubs to transform their facilities. This benefits both the teams and local communities too.”

Fans can support the club’s proposal by registering online and voting.

The club with the most votes will pitch their renovation plans to the firm and the FA at Wembley Stadium.

Non-league football champion and TALKSport presenter Tony Incenzo said: “Please support your local club with their application to win this fantastic £25,000 worth of building materials.”
