Station Road is an association football ground and training complex located in Newbridge, County Kildare, Ireland. It is home to the Leinster Senior League club Newbridge Town F.C. It was also the home of now defunct Eircom League Division One side Kildare County F.C.[2]
The ground was bought by Newbridge Town in the early 1980s and opened in 1985. The club developed Station Road into a multi-purpose facility that includes a sports hall and two all-weather pitches.[3][4] The sports hall is located on the ground floor of the clubhouse, which also contains a bar and the dressing rooms for the main pitch. The first floor contains a gym, corporate area and offices.[5] There are also training facilities, showers and dressing rooms. The ground itself is located beside Newbridge railway station and hence was named Station Road.
The founding of Kildare County in 2002 saw the erection of floodlights and the development of a 250-seater stand (250 seats and a corporate area for 70). There were plans for the construction of a new 1,100-seat stand. However, two separate 300-seat uncovered stands were erected on the Milltown side of the ground in August 2008 instead. Further upgrade work including turnstiles, realigning and lengthening of the pitch to 95 metres as well as the erection of screen fencing at the rear of the town goals, additional security monitoring, the installation of lightning protection is also planned.[6]
