Notes
Existing facilities: site consists of one full size 3G FTP and three full size equivalent poor quality grass pitches (current configuration is two mini 7v7 and one youth 9v9 pitches) with changing facilities. The surface of the 3G FTP is approaching the end of it's lifespan and requires resurfacing. The current surface is non Football Foundation funded. PPS Strategy (draft) recommends that that grass pitches are improved and that options for resurfacing the 3G FTP are explored.
Current users: the 3G FTP is well used by local clubs for affiliated training. Both the grass pitches and the FTP are used by seven teams from Rising Stars (club has 20 teams in total) for match play.
Rationale:
- FTP surface is approaching end of its lifespan.
- key site for youth football in Whitstable.
- listed as high priority in PPS.
