MYFC's 3G Pitch:
Rules & Vistor Information
St John's Marlborough 3G - Footwear Rules
- Moulded plastic studs only.
- Trainers are not permitted.
- Astro boots (with dimpled soles) are not permitted.
- Blades are not permitted.
- Boots with metal studs are not permitted.

Footwear Checks
The Club and the School, as venue owner, will conduct regular boot checks at training sessions and matches to enforce these rules.
The strict footwear rules are for player safety and to protect the synthetic surface of this brand new pitch, which cost £1.2 million to build. We need to look after all of our players and this fantastic new facility.
If you're not sure, please do get in touch!
The boots below are fine!
**IMPORTANT**
These footwear rules apply to all players, coaches, referees, and assistant referees.
Basically, anyone who is going onto the pitch itself.
Vehicle Access
- The only vehicle access is via Granham Hill (Pewsey Road – A345).

- Footwear rules (they will be strictly enforced).
- No dogs are allowed anywhere on the school grounds.
- No smoking is permitted anywhere on the school grounds.
- Any chewing gum must be discarded in the bins provided.
- The tarmac goal storage areas at either end of the pitch are slippery in studs, especially when wet.

Ethos and Matchday Environment
- MYFC is passionate about creating a supportive environment for all children to develop and enjoy the game.
- We always ask all coaches, linesmen and supporters to respect and support the referees.
- Especially when many are young, under-18 referees or kind volunteers.
- We encourage supporters to applaud both teams, and NO VERBAL ABUSE will be tolerated.
MYFC has an enviable record of hosting enjoyable games with great atmospheres regardless of results.
We welcome you in this environment.
Thank you very much for your cooperation
Marlborough Youth FC.
