Ferrycarrig Park

Ferrycarraig Park has been the home of League of Ireland side Wexford Youths since they joined the league in 2007. The building works for the new stadium and facilities, at Newcastle, Crossabeg, have been ongoing since 2003. Currently spectator facilities consist of a clubhouse with viewing area and a 609 seater temporary stand. The plans for a permanent stand to seat over 2,000 people are in place. Building work is in progress on a fully equipped gym on the site.

An application for retention of developments at the Wexford Youths Football Complex was rejected by Wexford Planners in October 2007. [" [http://www.wexfordyouthsfc.ie/news.html#news1 Planning Permission Decision] ", "wexfordyouthsfc.ie" (12 November, 2007).] . This decision threatens the future development of the club and has slowed work on the complex considerably. The decision is in the appeals process at present.

Access to the stadium is signposted from the N11. The signs along the roadside are small and care should be taken when approaching the junctions along the N11. The roads leading to the entrance to the ground are narrow and winding and caution is required. There is no direct access from the N11.

Ferrcarrig Park hosted the 2008 League Cup final after Wexford Youths won a toss for home advantage in the decider against Derry City FC. A number of alterations to the current set up were made to accommodate live television coverage and a large crowd.
