Boro’s Friend unveils new 3G AGP on Teesside
Middlesbrough FC (MFC) fans’ favourite
George Friend has officially opened the MFC
Foundation’s new 3G artificial grass pitch (AGP).
The popular Boro defender cut the ribbon on
the £½ million full-sized all-weather 3G pitch
at the Herlingshaw Centre in Eston, then put
a group of talented young footballers from
Chandlers Ridge Academy through their paces
on the new surface.
The project was installed by Smith
Construction (Heckington) Ltd and Dawn
Fencing Limited of Leigh – which has been
going more than 30 years and is the only
fencing contractor dedicated solely to
sports – following a £450,000 grant from
the Premier League & The FA Facilities Fund,
while Tees Valley Community Foundation
chipped in £50,000.
Smiths provided a new land drainage
system, repairs to the existing sub-base, new
fencing, floodlighting and a spectator viewing
area – and will provide on-going maintenance
of the 3G surface.
Dawn turned to sports fence systems
manufacturer Zaun, which provided its
renowned Duo8 Super Rebound sports
fencing, spectator railings and gates.
George was joined by the Deputy Mayor
for Redcar and Cleveland, Neil Bendelow, and
MFC Foundation Chair of Trustees Stewart
Smith as the newly refurbished full size
floodlit pitch was opened.
He said: ‘I love the new pitch. It’s great that
the Foundation now has such a superb facility.
It’s a professional standard, and hopefully
the local community can come and play like
professionals on it!’
MFC Foundation head Helena Pinder said:
‘We are delighted at the completion of the new
facility. It looks fantastic and we are looking
forward to opening it up to the public and local
community to use.’
