After


pitches. John approached David for advice early on in the project, and his expertise and constructive advice was invaluable in helping the group see the bigger picture.


Blood, sweat and tears


Over the past five years, the association has worked tirelessly to realise the dream, with planning and fundraising for the project taking up much of John’s time. A 100-year lease was secured on the site, but inevitably issues arose during the planning phase, with the costs for provision of services, highways access queries and planning delays all causing headaches which were ultimately resolved. TTS was appointed lead consultant for the design, procurement, project management and


establishment of the entire new ground. As part of this remit, David undertook a thorough survey of the site in June 2016. Taking into account the site’s geomorphology and climate, a topographical (levels) survey,


electromagnetic inductance (EMI) scanning, analysis of proposed pitch layout and grading based on SE guidelines, soil sampling, review of existing drainage infrastructure, an agronomic assessment and the results of a Performance Quality Standards (PQS) assessment, a feasibility report was compiled. This included a thorough specification of works for the project’s groundworks contractors and twelve month maintenance programme.


TTS handled the contractor tender processes on behalf of the association, narrowing it down to two contenders before the client held interviews and selected DW Shotton as lead contractor for the project. TTS then


completed the final parts of the vetting process and brought together the contracts for both parties. They also undertook full specification and procurement of all materials and project manage works on site; allowing the board to focus on the ongoing


fundraising drive and approach numerous sources for support - some with more success than others, as John explains: “One of the things you quickly develop when fundraising is a thick skin, and also learn not to take ‘no’ for an answer. On several occasions, we were turned down by a funding source but took on board their objections, amended our plans


accordingly and approached them again when the next round of funding became available. In several cases, this persistence paid off.”


Funding streams tapped into for the project include Sport England, the England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB), East Staffordshire Borough Council and the Football Foundation, Staffordshire FA, Abbots Bromley Parish Council, Staffordshire County Council, Tesco, Waitrose and The Bernard Sunley Charitable Foundation. Donations from Abbots Bromley Sports and Recreational Association, alongside generous gifts from
