Holmer Green have seen final permission for a new 3G pitch approved, with work set to begin in September.

Grant funding of just over £1m has allowed work to commence from September, ready in time for January 2025.

Releasing a statement on their social media channels, Co-Chair of the Holmer Green Sports Association, Rob Shed, said: “I’m very pleased to announce that just over four years after we started the process, we have received approval for an Artificial Grass Pitch (3G) to be built at Holmer Green.

“It will be fully funded by a combination of the Football Foundation, the Premier League Stadium Fund and a combination of a number of funds that were secured.

“This includes the funds contributed by the Football Club and its members. 

Total grant funding is just over £1m, a significant investment that we expect to provide lasting benefits to the health and wellbeing of the community and provide opportunities for girls, boys, men, women, able-bodied and disabled to enjoy football on our fantastic all-weather surface.

“The final planning permission was secured back in June and the new 25-year extended lease for the grounds was also signed with Buckinghamshire Council back in June.

“We have today issued a letter of intent to the contractor, SIS Pitches, that they have accepted which means a start on site of September 16 with completion by December 13. 

This means that the new pitch will be operational by January 2025.

“There will inevitably be some disruption to our training and matches whilst construction is in progress and we have been working on a plan to make this as trouble free as we can.

“It will all be worthwhile in the end.”

The ground has also had several positive reviews on Google, with the football stadium earning an average score 4.2/5 from 103 testimonials.

One review said: “The ground has two covered stands, the main one being seated, and the smaller one behind the right hand side of the goal standing only. 

“Parking is plentiful and located between the clubhouse and pitch. 

“The facilities are very good, including a well stocked bar. 

“Half-time food and drinks are available from the clubhouse, which is reasonably priced and good quality. 

“The club offers a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, and on the day of my visit, a very entertaining match, seeing the Greens comfortably take the win.”
