The club are on the cusp on reaching League Two, but must get past Stranaer this weekend for stadium plans to get moving
East Kilbride boss Mick Kennedy has revealed winning promotion to League Two would finally spark the construction of a long-awaited new stadium in the town.
The blueprint for the facility was given the green light but Kilby have been holding off on the club reaching League Two to put the first spade in the ground. Eight years later, that could finally come to fruition if East Kilbride defeat Stranraer in the second leg of the pyramid play-off final on Saturday.
Appearing on the Scottish Football Show podcast, Kennedy said: "The owners' plan is to build a £4.5million stadium as soon as we reach League Two and K-Park will become the club's training base, so there are massive plans there in terms of infrastructure and investment."In terms of what the club could do on the pitch, the club could go into League Two and be a well-established part-time club at that level.
And he says taking the club to the SPFL for the first time would surpass his cup shock over the Dons.
