Championship side Brentford FC have announced that they are unable to announce when their new stadium will be fully completed due to lockdown.
Brentford were initially planning to leave Griffin Park for the nearby newly built Community Stadium in July.
However, construction has been put to hold in line with government guidelines to combat the spread of Covid – 19.
The club had already sold more than 6,000 tickets for the 2020-2021 campaign in the new stadium.
Uncompleted work involves interior fixtures and fittings. The site also involves construction of commercial and residential buildings.
The championship side sent a letter to the clubs supporters and confirmed that the players had agreed to defer a proportion of their wages until football resumes.
Football in England was suspended by the FA due to the ongoing spread of Coronavirus.
‘’The absolutely minimum and essential requirement during this period is to ensure, as far as possible, that the site is made and kept safe at all times especially in respect of hazardous unfinished electrical installations and, where feasible, other dependent critical live safety and related systems.’’ Said the letter.
‘’Given the evolving situation regarding the impact of Covid – 19 pandemic it is not possible at this stage to reliably forecast when the new stadium will be fully complete.’’
