Football Clubs – Project Management

Your team may be up to scratch but your facilities could be letting you down. Many clubs face limited finances which makes it hard to know how you should be investing in your club ground to gain the maximum benefits.

Once you’ve decided how you want to develop your club’s facilities, Mark will carry out all the work which needs to be completed prior to submitting a Planning Application.

His past experience involves project managing the expansion of club grounds and undertaking the extensive strategic work needed to improve facilities, such as gymnasiums, synthetic pitches and classrooms, at various sites.

Success Story: Studley FC

Mark is gaining excellent results for various clubs including Studley FC.

As football clubs are generally sited on greenbelt land, gaining the approval to expand can be a difficult business. Clubs must prove that there’s a strategic need for the expansion. With Mark’s expertise in this field, clubs needn’t see this as a barrier.

Studley FC knew that its club facilities were too small and dated but needed guidance on how to expand. Through working with Mark, the club is carrying out a major expansion with a new full size synthetic pitch, 5 a-side pitches and an extension to the clubhouse to include classroom facilities.

Mark has created a Sports Development Plan which all clubs have to complete before an application is put in to Planning. He has also gained the necessary support of national organisations such as Sport England and ensured that all the stringent regulations have been met. This means that when the plans are submitted, they are much more likely to be approved.
