ESBC meets FA over football centre usage
East Staffordshire Borough Council (ESBC) officials have met with Football Association (FA) representatives over future community use of the new St George's Park complex.
The new £100m national football facility is being developed near Burton-upon-Trent, with a number of training pitches to be made available for use by the local community. Once complete, pitch bookings will be made through a team at Shobnall Leisure Complex - however, all bookings will have to be approved by a team of ESBC and FA representatives.
Three full-size pitches and changing facilities have been set aside for community use, which will be made available to local teams from 2013-14.
