“Now we have the ground I’d welcome all conversations from any serious credible investors to help us secure our famous ground and show your community support for the future of football in the town of Rhyl.
“We have the football support to rival any Welsh team and now we have the ground to match too“
Groundwork will begin at the start of next month as a group of volunteers work on preparing the ground for the new season, whenever that may start and in whatever league the new club are placed in.
The club have also began the steps of searching for a first-team manager to head the new-look club.
Managing Director, Adam Roche said: “We will be shortly advertising for someone who first and foremost is a proven winner, they must be positive, committed and experienced in North Wales football.
“We want someone who can demonstrate their passion for success through hard-working players on the pitch and equally off it in representing the club with their support through local community engagement.
This is an unbelievable opportunity to be the first manager in our new club to join us as we look to continue Rhyl’s footballing history by bringing success on the pitch back to Belle Vue”.
