Bognor fans asked to support 3G application

Bognor Regis Town have placed an application with their local council to install a new 3G pitch at Nyewood Lane- but the Pitching In Isthmian Premier side are asking their fans to go online and confirm their support. 

The club, who hope to have their new pitch laid in the summer to be ready for the start of the 24-25 campaign, have explained:

 “We very much see the project as a sign of our intent to grow the club and in so doing be able to embrace even more of our community. We really do need everybody’s support; if you can comment positively in the link provided it will help us no end.

The more positive comments we get the more likely it is that we will be successful through the planning stage and that will keep us on track for delivering the pitch in time for the 2024/25 season. There’s a decision from the Football Foundation, who are providing 70 per cent of the funding expected in March, and once we get the decision, assuming that we have a successful outcome, then the work will pretty much start immediately.

The pitch is going to be FIFA Pro Plus standard, which means that we can play up to National League level without any changes to the surface and is the highest quality that we can go without going to the hybrid pitches used in Premier League stadiums. The positives are many including not having to rearrange waterlogged fixtures to midweek from a Saturday when we would get a higher attendance and that helps protect revenue.'
