Football pitch improvements at Iochdar Hall
Lead organisation: Iochdar Saints football club
Potential funders: CnES, SportScotland
There is a well-used pitch at Iochdar Hall, home ground to Iochdar Saints. The team keep it maintained, but this is hard, since the grass is rooted into very sandy soil, which is itself sitting on shingle and terram. Any damage to the pitch brings stones to the surface, and the grass wears away easily.
We will be working with the Uist football association, Iochdar Hall Committee, and Iochdar Saints to improve the pitch. The Council are currently reviewing provision throughout the Uists, and have constulted with us to see if we could be included in their budget sumbissions. They have a copy of our original feasibility study to help them. The plan for the pitch may also include some additional work to improve the parking facilities at the hall.
