Dunfermline Athletic is delighted to announce the completion of the first phase of work around our Rosyth training ground.
Today saw the first team take to the brand new state of the art 4G astro as the pitch, surrounding fencing and floodlights were completed on schedule by contractors Doe Sports North Ltd.
While there is still groundworks to be completed around the 4G astro pitch this represents a huge step forward in allowing the First Team, Academy and Pars Foundation to house all our footballing activities on one site.
Sporting Director Thomas Meggle commented: “We are delighted to be able to start to use the astroturf pitch here at Rosyth. It’s a landmark moment and the culmination of more than two years of planning. We know there is still lots to do on the site as we look to fully realise the potential of the training ground, but having an outstanding all weather playing surface lets us get all DAFC teams on site at one venue for the first time in a generation.”
Chairman and CEO David Cook added: “I’d like to thank DAFC Fussball GMBH for their support in helping us complete phase one of our Rosyth Training Ground Project along with Fife Council, The Scottish Football Association and DCMS who have offered grant support to the initiative. Our construction partners Sports Lab and Doe Sports North Ltd have been exemplary in their project management and delivery of this project on budget and on time. Finally, I would like to acknowledge the fine contributions of my fellow directors Ian Hunter and Billy Braisby who have played pivotal roles in getting us to this stage. Exciting times ahead!”
