3G Astroturf Facility

500-Capacity All-Seater Stand

1,300 Capacity Covered Terrace

This projecT included the development of third-generation all-weather pitches at rugby Town fc’s Butlin road ground.

This project included the development of third-generation all-weather pitches at rugby Town fc’s Butlin road ground. The facility included two fully-floodlit rubber-crumb pitches with a new road accessing the playing areas and parking areas outside the pitches.

The development involved the re-grading of a steep incline into two flat areas. The state-of-the-art sports surface requires careful installation and maintenance to give natural ball behaviour and surrounding fences with kick-boards ensure that the facility is secure.

symon Took on the task of constructing this fantastic 500-seater cantilever stand for rugby Town fc in late 2002.

The project included the construction of the stand - with wheelchair access, as well as changing, physio and office facilities underneath the stand. it was completed in january 2003 but it wasn’t until later in the year that it was officially opened by then england international darius vassell with rugby hosting aston villa in a pre-season friendly.

The stand was part of the ‘most improved ground’ awards for rugby in the national non-league paper awards in 2004.

This covered Terrace pans right along the width of the pitch at rugby Town fc’s Butlin road ground and has an impressive capacity of 1,300 fans.

The design had to cater for the awkward boundaries to the ground while the terracing was carefully designed to ensure the maximum capacity as well as keeping the design to sports stadia guidelines. The development also included the construction of boundary walls around the perimeter of the stadium.
