The Lancashire Cricket facility at Farington Pic: Lancashire County Council New aerial pictures show the cricket pitches at the state-of-the-art Lancashire
New aerial pictures show the cricket pitches at the state-of-the-art Lancashire Cricket site in Farington taking shape.Lancashire Cricket has committed to hosting T20 games, four-day county fixtures and Lancashire women’s team games at the facility spread across 14-hectares of land nearThe aerial images show Stanifield Lane at the top of the pictures, with the two oval pitches clearly visible along with a large rectangular area which is where the netting area will be for practice.
“To have an additional site to Emirates Old Trafford, which has been under huge pressure in recent years, which we will have total control over its elite facilities is going to be game-changing for us. To have a venue of this size and scope, with the quality of the drainage this will allow us to deal with adverse weather conditions and get more games on away from Emirates Old Trafford.
“Work to construct the pitches and cricket squares is now well underway and will complete later this summer, to allow time for the pitches to bed in. “The team are continuing to make strong progress, transforming this site from a farmer’s field at the start of the year to now seeing the County and Community pitches shaping up. We’re looking forward to seeing this project continue to come to life and providing a cricket facility that will benefit the local and sporting communities for many years to come.”Sign up below to receive Blog Preston's email newsletter.
