Permanent Floodlights – Top Pitch

8 permanent floodlights will be installed on this

pitch fully funded by a Wiltshire County

Council Section 106 grant

Car Park Improvements – Funded by DRFC

Our car park on a typical match day

Our Current car park. The area marked in red will be replaced by hard standing and the remainder of the area re-dressed all using 100% recycled material from a

local (less than a mile away) project.

General Pitch Maintenance

We will Shockwave Aerate, de-

compact, re-seed, weed supress and Hollow Bore treat our 2 pitches and

training area.DRFC will pick up

the full cost of this work.

Pitch-side Drainage and Walkway

This area directly adjacent to our Club

house has serious drainage issues (the

red line shows where the touchline should be!) This will be dug out, proper drainage

installed and an artificial 3G grass

walkway installed.

Pitch-side Safety Fencing

We plan to install a safety fence along

the red line to encompass the entire pitch (see

Ground Plan Drawing for more

detail) to match the fence already in place on the far side of the pitch.

Pitch-side Dug Outs

Two Dug-Outs on hard standing concrete to be

installed on the far touchline.

Enhanced Spectator Viewing Facilities

The top will be removed from the

retaining wall and a split level patio installed to give

additional standing room for spectators. This will be bounded along the red line by the pitch-side safety

fence described above.

Upgrade Training Area Lights

Heads to be upgraded to brighter lights

We currently have 8 permanent ‘training’ lights situated on our

training area, the light is of poor quality (very yellow) we plan to

upgrade these running a power spur from the new electric supply that is already being installed for the main

floodlights
