New Bucks Head is a stadium in Wellington, Shropshire, England and the home of AFC Telford United in the Enterprise National League N/S]] football club AFC Telford United. It was originally built for Telford United to play at before they went bankrupt. The stadium is on the same site as the original Bucks Head, which had been home to Telford United formerly Wellington Town for over a century. The stadium was completed in 2003, and has a capacity of 6,320. It is covered on three out of four sides. The stadium lease and assets are currently held by Telford and Wrekin Council.
Until 2020, the stadium regularly hosted Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C. reserve fixtures. When Steven Gerrard returned from injury in the Liverpool Reserves it attracted one of the biggest crowds the stadium has ever seen. The stadium played host to the National Youth Lions Cup final in the 2006–07 season involving Sandiacre Town and Milton United. It has also been used for international football, hosting England U16's against Wales U16's in the Victory Shield.
