Oldham Athletic announce plans for upgraded 'Little Wembley' pitch

A grass pitch at Oldham’s Boundary Park stadium is to be replaced with a 3G multi-sports surface which will allow more youth and rugby teams to train.

And a new single storey building would also be constructed housing changing rooms, a classroom-office area, toilets and café and refreshment area. The Oldham Athletic Football Club first team would not be a regular user of the Little Wembley pitch. The 3G surface will enable more ‘intense use’ of the pitch, and ‘outmoded’ floodlights will be replaced with ‘modern, more sensitively designed’ sports lighting, and a ball-catch fence. .

The new 3G pitch will also help accommodate training for the Club’s 16 boy’s teams for nine to 16-year-olds, along with the new and improved pitches developed on the Clayton Playing Fields. It would also improve provision for Oldham Rugby League Football Club Foundation managed provision for junior boys and girls, the rugby league club’s women’s squad, and community rugby league clubs.
