Newport IW FC left St Georges Park in 2018 Currently they have been ground sharing with other Isle of Wight teams; however, the club were due to be relocating to a new purpose built sports stadium 'Wightfibre Park' in August 2022. However, this never materialised. Plans for the new stadium consisted of a new club house and seated stand, capacity of 150, as well as three sheltered standing stands with a total capacity of 500 to 1000 people.

In 2024, St George's Park was demolished.[1]
