'''Whitehaven Amateur Football Club''' is a [football](/source/Association_football) club in [Whitehaven](/source/Whitehaven), [Cumbria](/source/Cumbria). The club are currently members of the {{English football updater|Whitehav}} and play at the County Ground.

==Ground==
A new ground for the club has been in the planning stages for some time, however it has been beset with problems. It was envisaged that a £6 million sports stadium (sharing with [Whitehaven R.L.F.C.](/source/Whitehaven_R.L.F.C.)) would be designed with an 8,000-capacity, though it is believed the final price tag could be higher. However, upgraded individual facilities will instead be installed, including a new clubhouse.{{citation needed|date=November 2025}}

The new facility was hoped to be part of a sports village for the site as part of a £20 million Pow Beck regeneration, in which Copeland Council and West Lakes Renaissance are the most significant players.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.hurdrolland.co.uk/1795i.html |title=Archived copy |access-date=29 January 2009 |archive-date=21 November 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081121030332/http://www.hurdrolland.co.uk/1795i.html |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.westlakesrenaissance.co.uk/WESTCUMBRIA%20PROJECTS/Whitehaven/Whitehavenregen/wr_powbeckvalley.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080313061054/http://www.westlakesrenaissance.co.uk/WESTCUMBRIA%20PROJECTS/Whitehaven/Whitehavenregen/wr_powbeckvalley.html|url-status=usurped|archive-date=13 March 2008|title=JRPM – Engineering Project Management}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.newsandstar.co.uk/sport/haven/1.501120|title=Ballet star shows off charity portraits |date=13 December 2000 }}</ref>
