County Cricket Ground in Summer 2008.Website www.newclose-cricket.co.uk History Construction completed 2008 First match played 2008-09-06 Newclose County Cricket Ground is the new county cricket ground for the Isle of Wight, located between Newport and Blackwater. Several open days were held in September 2008 on which special matches were to take place.[1]
At present due to planning rules the site can only be used for cricket related activities, meaning during the winter it is a redundant facility. It is hoped that in the future the rules regarding activities at the site will be overturned, allowing the area to host weddings, meetings, conferences and exhibitions as well as an archery competition in 2011.[2]
