The original plan being to build a new stadium on Nunnery Way on the east side of the city, however, this plan was shelved. In 2017, a plan to build a stadium and sporting complex at Perdiswell was rejected by Worcester City Council. After leaving St George's Lane, Worcester City FC played their home games at Kidderminster Harrier's Aggborough stadium for a time and now play their games at The Victoria Ground, home of Bromsgrove Sporting.
