It’s been a frustrating time on the pitch for Warminster Town with games against Longwell Green on Saturday 7th February and Wells City on Saturday 24th January being postponed and the Pewsey Vale Wiltshire FA County Cup semi-final on Tuesday this week, 10th February, in doubt as the Journal went to press.
But off the pitch, the club has seen major improvements with the completion of the new pitch-side barrier.
Since the end of December, extensive work has been taking place at the club’s Weymouth Street ground to remove the old, concrete barrier and replace it with a brand-new UPVC barrier built to current Football Association standards.
“We are delighted to get the work completed,” said Chairman James Stone. “This has been a major project for the club; one carried out through the winter months in difficult conditions – and it stands as a testament to what can be achieved when a community comes together behind its football club.
“This new barrier is a vital part of our long-term facility improvement programme and will significantly enhance safety, accessibility and the overall matchday experience for players, supporters and visitors. It’s another clear sign of the positive direction our club is moving in.
“The project has only been possible thanks to the vital funding support provided by Warminster Town Council and Premier League Stadium Fund. And we are incredibly grateful to the businesses who supported the project with materials, equipment and practical assistance – Travis Perkins, Sydenhams, T Deacon and EJ Shanley & Son.
“A huge thank you must also go to the volunteers who gave up evenings, weekends and many hours to make this happen.”
