Cambridge City F.C. has always held a special place in my heart. As a local football club, it represents more than just the game; it’s part of the community’s fabric. Yet, for years, I hesitated to paint the club because they lacked a permanent home. After leaving their historic City Ground on Milton Road, the team played at St Ives Town and Histon F.C. Now, they have finally settled into a new stadium in Sawston. This move inspired me to create the painting.

Painting a football stadium is more than just capturing a building. It is about preserving the energy, history, and passion that fills the stands on match days. Over the past few days, I have dedicated my time to painting the Truro City Stadium, home to Truro City F.C., a club competing in the National League. This project has been a long time coming, as I have been slowly working to complete a series of paintings featuring National League clubs.
