Stage 10
There is an open space here that is used for warming up while games are running. We would like this area resurfaced and and lit with the existing light poles from stages L5 and L6. This would allow for these poles to be recycled and prevent unnecessary wear and tare on the pitch during the wet months.

Stage 11
There is an open space here that is an odd shape and size. We would like to install a synthetic mini football pitch. This can be used for 6-a-side games and training in the winter months when the pitches are not in use.
An example case study for a synthetic mini football pitch can be viewed here.
