New 3G pitch for Manchester’s Partington Sports Village

A floodlit 3G football pitch has opened at Partington Sports Village in Trafford, Greater Manchester.

The £1.05 million pitch is the second full-size 3G pitch at the venue, which is operated jointly by the Trafford Leisure and Dean Trust. To secure funding for the pitch, the Dean Trust formed a working group with partners, including Trafford Leisure, Trafford Council, the County FA’s for Cheshire and Manchester and the Football Foundation.

Following applications for funding, the Football Foundation approved a grant of £801,000, with the Trust also providing capital funds, and Trafford Council contributing £200,000.
