MCC unveil the designs for the new Compton and Edrich stands


Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) has unveiled the spectacular designs that will form the next phase of the Masterplan to redevelop Lord's; the new Compton and Edrich stands.


The new three‐tier stands at Lord’s ‐ the home of cricket ‐ will accommodate around 11,500 members of the public at the Nursery End of the Ground, and are due to be redeveloped between 2019 and 2021.


Capacity will be increased by 2,500 seats, and a walkway linking both stands and overlooking the Nursery Ground will be introduced. From the Pavilion, MCC members will still be able to view trees through gaps in and over the top of parts of the new stands.


Spectator amenities will be significantly upgraded, with catering and toilet facilities,

wheelchair‐accessible spaces and lift access at all levels.


The new additions to the ground will have debenture seating and restaurants in the middle tier and, exceeding industry best‐practice, 3% of all seating will be for wheelchair users or those with restricted mobility. Unlike the current structures, the top tier of the new stands will be partially covered.


The proposals form the next part of the phased ‘Masterplan for Lord’s’. Last year, The Duke of Edinburgh officially opened the new £25m Warner Stand, the first stand to be rebuilt at Lord’s since


the Grand Stand was completed in 1997.


The designs are the work of two‐ time Stirling Prize winners WilkinsonEyre, the architects responsible for the refurbishment of the Grade II listed Battersea Power Station.


Enville Golf Club: an apology


In the April/May issue we carried an article presented to us by FineGolf called ‘What is Augusta Syndrome Disease?’


In the article, the author, incorrectly in their view, criticised the management policy at Enville Golf Club in the West Midlands.


Whilst an appropriate disclaimer was included at the foot of the article, Pitchcare accept that, in hindsight, more editorial control should have been afforded prior to publication.


We therefore unreservedly apologise for any issues this article may have caused the management and greenkeeping team at Enville Golf Club.
