Catford
,
The consortium is a Community Development Voluntary Organisation which has aquired a 12 acre playing field on a 25 year lease from Lewisham Council in November 2005. The site had been derelict for over 10 years and was fast becoming a local dumping ground. The Firhill Road Sports Ground was cleared by Consortium volunteers and temporary building erected. The ground is enclosed on 3 side by housing and the forth by a railway line.
The Site Currently has a double portacabin which houses an office, committee/meeting space and kitchen/refreshment area, 4 converted transport containers that include 2 changing rooms, officials' room and Male, Female and Disabled Toilets and a container used as an equipment store.
Electricity, Water and waste facilities were installed in 2009.
The consortium caters for 29+ football teams from under 9s to adults, a 42 Week Saturday Morning Junior Football Coaching Programme ages 5 - 15, 20 Team + Youth Tornament and a series of annual cultral community events such as our annual 'Family Fun Day'.
The site has 3 full sized, 1 junior sized and 2 small football pitches.
