The summer of 2021 saw Burnham FC invest in a high quality 3G pitch at the 1878 Stadium in Buckinghamshire.
The step 5 club engaged specialist firm Velocity Sports to upgrade their existing natural grass stadium pitch to a competition standard 3G artificial surface which would enable them to play first team matches as well as support training and community usage.
The project was delivered as a turnkey solution with Velocity providing a design and build service including undertaking initial surveys, developing the design as well constructing and maintaining the new facility.
The new pitch incorporated a stabilised base and high-quality performance shockpad and 40mm 3G turf, providing a performance comparable to that of a natural pitch but with increased usage levels and reduced maintenance – a win for everyone!
The site works were completed in only 8 weeks and the field is certified to FIFA Quality standards.

Club Chairman Glenn Skivington commented:
We are enhancing what is already an historic and much-loved football club and venue central to our thinking is a strong desire to continue building lasting local relationships while creating a high-quality football and leisure venue at the heart of the Burnham community,”
