The six-month project has transformed the pavilion into a fully functional sports facility, offering enhanced amenities for the club and its players. Atherstone Rangers Football Club will now lease the pavilion and its associated football pitches, ensuring the long-term viability of the facility and supporting the club’s ongoing development.
Experiencing substantial growth over the past two years, Atherstone Rangers has seen increased demand for adequate facilities. The addition of Mancetter Pavilion provides the club with a second base, complementing its existing home ground and enabling it to manage expansion and create more avenues for people to engage with football.
This initiative, a collaborative effort between North Warwickshire Borough Council and Atherstone Rangers Football Club, represents a total investment of £380,000. The refurbishment underscores the council's commitment to investing in local sports infrastructure and partnering with community organisations to foster their success.
“"It's fantastic to see Mancetter Pavilion transformed into a fully functioning sports facility that will provide a new home for Atherstone Rangers Football Club. The club has grown significantly over the past two years, and having access to a second base will make a real difference, giving them the space and facilities they need to accommodate more players and continue to develop."
“"This project is a great example of what can be achieved through partnership working and investment in our local communities. By working together, we are not only improving a building but also supporting grassroots football, encouraging participation in sport and creating opportunities for people across North Warwickshire."
The new arrangement will allow Atherstone Rangers to maximise the use of the pavilion and pitches, establishing a dedicated hub for the club’s activities and ensuring the facility remains a valuable community asset.
