Southend United Football Club has unveiled plans to build a new 21,000-capacity stadium together with a 131-bedroom hotel alongside plus a retail park, a 12-screen cinema, restaurants and residential properties.

In addition, two soccer domes will be developed, one for use by the community and one for Southend United Football Club for training purposes and to aid the Club's Academy aspirations in developing young talent for the future.

The new £80million stadium is planned at Fossetts Farm in Southend. When built it is anticipated it will play a huge role in regenerating the seaside town. Southend United currently play home games at Roots Hall stadium in the town. It was built in 1952 and has a capacity of just 12,000.

Plans are currently at the public consultation stage.
