The complex will cater for all aspects of our operations, it will consist of an administration block, conference rooms, and dressing rooms to be used in conjunction with dedicated playing pitches.

Construction work began on the project on 8th June 2005 and is estimated to last for nine months with a completion date timed for Spring 2006.
