Robins were considering a move to a brand new site as part of the golf course's redevelopment.

Blue Mountain, in Binfield, is set to close in April and the land has been allocated for new houses and a school.

But part of the site had also been earmarked for a new football ground which would be used by Bracknell Town FC and the local community.

However, Robins say the deal on the table is no longer acceptable as it requires them to sell their current Larges Lane ground to pay for the move.

A statement released by Bracknell's board of directors says: "As most people are aware, Blue Mountain Golf Course is closing this April as the land has been allocated for development in line with Site Allocations Local Plan Policy SA7 which was adopted by Bracknell Forest Council in July 2013.

"The development, if planning permission is accepted, will include houses and education provisions, but will not include Bracknell Town Football Club moving to the site.

"BTFC had been in discussion for several months with Luff Group, who own the Blue Mountain site, about selling our Larges Lane site to them and part of the deal would have included land at Blue Mountain for us to develop and build a new stadium.

"Unfortunately, the Board of Directors at BTFC have taken the decision to reject the proposed offer for Larges Lane for a number of reasons.

"We feel the offer is below what we class as a fair offer for Larges Lane whilst the plot offered to us at Blue Mountain has reduced in size over the last several months and more importantly the usable size has also reduced."

The statement continued: "The purpose of moving to Blue Mountain was to enable us to have all of the clubs team’s right from U7’s all the way up to the Over 55’s walking football team including the adult men’s team and adult ladies teams playing at one site.

"However, the offer does not allow us to achieve this so we feel it is in the best interests of BTFC to remain at Larges Lane for the foreseeable future.

"We will now focus our efforts in repairing or redeveloping Larges Lane moving forward.

"If an opportunity arises in the future to move to a larger site offering sufficient size to enable us to progress then we will look into it but for now, all our efforts will be focused on Larges Lane."
