West Didsbury & Chorlton’s new pitch facilities will be declared open at a ceremony on Saturday morning.
Jeff Smith, MP for Manchester, Withington, will officially open the facilities at 11.45 am.
A total of £66,263 was spent in developing four new pitches, including a £43,263 grant from the Premier League & The FA Facilities Fund, which provides grants towards developing new or refurbished grassroots football facilities.
The club worked in partnership with Lancashire FA to secure the grant from the Premier League & the FA Facilities Fund.
The grant has enabled the club to provide four new grass pitches for sides from Under-8 to Under-16 along with a new full-size pitch for the club’s Under-18 youth team and adult ‘A’ team. The pitches will occupy and bring activity to an area that was previously home to nothing more than overgrown playing fields.
