AFC Bournemouth owner Maxim Demin has paid out around £750,000 on three new pitches.
Work has already begun at Dean Court and on the Kings Park training ground to install three new fibre-sand pitches, all including an artificial 3G surround and new irrigation systems.
The work is being done by White Horse Contractors from Oxfordshire as the Cherries were put off by a two year waiting list which was quoted by Desso technology which is in place at Wembley.
AFC Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe was delighted with the work being done and believes the Cherries will benefit from the installation.
Howe told the Daily Echo…
“As you move forward and the club grows, the infrastructure and facilities have to move with you. The pitches were a concern to us last season, not just the main one but the training pitches as well and, at times, they were unusable.
“For a Championship club, we had to look to improve them and Maxim has been good enough to see the benefit of that and has invested a lot of money to enable us to improve the three pitches which will have a major impact at every level for us…’
‘…It is important, not just with facilities but with infrastructure and support staff, to be able to give our players every chance to excel at Championship level and this is just another stepping stone towards that.”
