Harborough Footballers To Get Brand New Artificial Pitch
Written by HFM News on 9th September 2021
Major improvements costing £160,000 are to take place at Harborough Town Football Club.
The club’s ageing second artificial pitch, used by reserves, vets and a host of junior teams,will be replaced and external fencing upgraded.
Work will start later this month, thanks for grants from Market Harborough and the Bowdens Charity, the District Council and the club’s own funds.
The pitch to be replaced
Laurence Jones, Chief Executive of Harborough Town’s trustees, said “The existing pitch has lasted remarkably well but after twelve years is now showing some very real signs of deterioration.
“The upgrade to a new pitch is therefore essential in order that we maintain our FA licence for league and cup games for all age groups.”
“Without the fantastic support of Market Harborough and the Bowdens Charity, and Harborough District Council, the club would not have been able to undertake these important works at this time.
“The fact we are able to do so means that we can continue to provide a high-quality football experience for all of the footballers both young and not so young from the under 5s to our walking footballers who use this wonderful facility every week of the year.”
