Excelsior Stadium are delighted to announce that works will be commencing on Monday 24th May to lay a Fifa Grade 2 star 3rd generation football pitch on the main pitch.  From the start of season 2010/11  all games played at the stadium will be played on the new state of the art surface.

Greenfields Sports Turf Systems who carried out the works to the new 5 aside facilities and have received Fifa 2 star certificates for the installation of synthetic turf-systems on almost every continent have been appointed to carryout the work. 

The new pitch will allow far greater use and limit the amount of postponements that the existing pitch is susceptible too.

Prior to the pitch being ripped up the stadium company will host 1 last game on Sunday evening. All profits raised from this game will be used towards funds for Airdrie United youth teams next season.  Official kit for both teams will be used and some former players will be joining in to help make the evening memorable for those taking part.  Team pictures will be taken as a memento and at the final whistle all participants will be allowed onto the pitch to take a section of the pitch home should they wish.

For more information on how to book a place in the last game and costs contact Liam Brindle on 07950 962890 or email lb@excelsiorstadium.co.uk This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it  or Scott Hetherington at the stadium on 01236 622000. 

 

6pm kick off, spectators welcome - no admission fee rather a donation to youth team funds.


All money raised will go to the Youth Teams directly associated to the club and also those from U6 - U14 who are affiliated to the club.
