Our town is in such desperate need for a 3G pitch. No games today for 4 adult sides and every age group from u7s-u16s! No game for the 3rd team now for 9 weeks by time of our next fixture. #whitewash

The climate has changed, we must accept that, and our winters are milder and much wetter. The @FA should fund the installation of an artificial pitch in every town which has a non league football club.
the top leagues have overcome their pitch problems of years ago. Wouldn't it be great if they could help the grass root clubs to improve their pitches. Most lower clubs rely on home games income to survive

Yet another reason to have an all-weather pitch in Torpoint. We can only imagine that there are loads of @TorpointYouth & @torpointafcJ games postponed because of the weather today also.
POSTPONED | The Mill is waterlogged.

Progress has has been delayed over the past months in establishing significant funding to enable the project to progress, but recent events may pave the way to explore other avenues.

So in summary, the Network continue to promote this much needed facility and will continue in our efforts to provide the facility.

This is great, however Torpoint is left behind, the forgotten corner. One in Torpoint would transform so many lives & for the community altogether. Can’t be many towns of Torpoint’s size in Cornwall without one? I know many are working hard for one @Torpoint3G @torpointymca

Replying to @Torpoint3G
@Torpoint3G most of the youth teams will have to train at Horsen field this winter under temporary floodlights. Cannot use Raleigh and YMCA is fully booked. We need an all weather facility with lights

Be great to see some of this investment filter down to areas such as Cornwall @Torpoint3G, where we have been trying to secure funding for a 3G for the past 15 years.

Today’s Budget announcement saw the Government pledge an additional £25m investment into grassroots football facilities across the UK. A huge boost for our plans to transform grassroots football, along with our funding partners the @premierleague, @FA, @DCMS and @Sport_England.

Torpoint and Rame Active Community Network have recently bid for £100,000 from the Community Infrastructure Levy Fund (CIL) in support of the All Weather 3g pitch project. A decision will be made in December to confirm if our bid is successful or not.
