Llanelian Road

Llanelian Road is a multi-use stadium in Colwyn Bay, North Wales. It is currently used mostly for football matches and is the home ground of Colwyn Bay F.C. of the Northern Premier League Premier Division. The floodlit stadium holds 2,500 people (with covered seating for 500 spectators) and was built in 1984 after the club moved from their former home in Eirias Park due to the building of the A55 dual carriageway through Colwyn Bay. Colwyn Bay won their first game at Llanelian Road, beating Lytham 1-0 in an FA Cup Preliminary Round tie in August 1984.

A shelter was erected at the town end of the ground in 1985 and is more commonly known as the Shed End. Two further covered stands were erected by the end of the decade. Floodlights were first installed at the ground in 1990 and were first switched on for a friendly match against Liverpool. The grass bank on the Llanelian Road side of the ground was terraced during the summer of 1998 following a successful fundraising appeal by the club's Supporters Club. The club's promotion to the [Conference North]] in 2011 also resulted ion major changes with a new covered stand over the Llanelian Road terrace, seating 500 and including press facilities and hospitality boxes and new floodlights erected.

Colwyn Bay were forced to play away from Llanelian Road for two seasons after the club refused to join the newly formed League of Wales in 1992. The club played for a season in Northwich and a further season at Ellesmere Port. The club returned to Llanelian Road when they and fellow exiles Newport County and Caernarfon Town secured a High Court injunction in the summer of 1994. Over 1,600 saw Bay's first competitive match in two years at Llanelian Road, a 1-0 defeat to Marine

Colwyn Bay F.C. previously played on three different grounds at Eirias Park during their history. The Arena was a temporary home during the early 1980s prior to the club's move to Llanelian Road in 1984.
