Help Splott Albion Protect Splott Park

Splott Albion are the largest grassroots football club in the Splott & Tremorfa area of Cardiff and have been established for over 50 years. We have a mens team who play in Cardiff & District Div 1 and a ladies team who play in the third highest tier of the Welsh leagues. We also have over 100 boys and girls in our youth teams who will hopefully progress to our adult teams in the near future. We are looking for help to raise £5,000 to help secure our main pitch against vandalism.

The area at Splott Park is widely used by our football sides, dog walkers and the wider community (before lockdown anyway!). Unfortunately the park is also prone to mindless vandalism, especially by motorbikes. We installed barriers around the pitch in 2017 to help stop this but unfortunately it hasn’t stopped the damage.

We are looking to secure the large main pitch against this whilst still allowing access to the wider public. We will be erecting a fence around the pitch with access points for the public at either end. There will be locked gates for emergency service vehicles as well as maintenance, as there already is now.

The club has spent thousands of pounds on improving and maintaining this area since we returned to Splott Park in 2014. With the help of Pete Davies and Growing Concerns the pitch is widely considered one of the best in South Wales and regularly receives great feedback from visiting clubs, the local public as well as league officials. We have held high profile Cardiff cup finals as well as receiving great praise in a Wales Online article.

We are immensely proud of the area we live in and these improvements will go one step further to preserving the facilities for all of the public to enjoy. We are hugely grateful for your support.
