Major refurbishment works on the grandstand at Springfield are on schedule to be completed by the end of September.
The upgrade aims to extend the life of the grandstand by a further 30 years.
The government project has been described as “critical” to maintaining the long-term operation of the Island’s stadium, with recent condition reports and a detailed inspection confirming that significant works are required.
Springfield’s grandstand, which is approaching 30 years old, features an exposed structure made up of steelwork and reinforced concrete terraces.
Phase one of the project, scheduled for summer 2026, will include the replacement of side panel glazing, stripping and repainting of structural steelwork, upgrades to emergency lighting and localised roof repairs.
During the refurbishment period, the grandstand seating and pitch will be closed.
In an update provided this morning, Active Gym – which has a facility based at Springfield – said works are “making good progress” and are “on schedule to be completed by the end of September”.
