Bulls Home Fixture To Go Ahead

Jersey Bulls' home game against Raynes Park Vale will go ahead as planned at Springfield on 5 March.

Work on the stadium is ongoing, but the club has been told play on the pitch can continue for an additional week.

Construction work is currently affecting the areas behind the goals and the car parks.

Supporters attending the games against Balham this Saturday (26 February) and the fixture with Raynes Park Vale are being advised to walk, cycle or get dropped off as parking spaces are limited.

The government says it won't delay the completion date of the end of next month.

"Now that the works to improve the spectator experience at Springfield have commenced, and delivery dates of key materials are known, it has been possible for the Government of Jersey to maintain play on the pitch for an additional week.  

The contractor will continue enabling works eternal to existing fences until Sunday 6 March, after which the existing fences will be removed and new fencing and standing areas installed. 

This sequencing change does not impact the completion date for the works.  As well as allowing all users an additional week of play, the Jersey Bulls game on 5 March can go ahead as planned."

Jersey Bulls says further announcements will be made about the fixtures against Banstead Athletic and Colliers Wood United when it has the necessary information.
