Apparently it's been 14 years since Dartford FC had their own ground. This is said to be one of the best none league grounds in the country and even has a green roof! Yes, that's right, they have a turf roof....
My son's nursery is just around the corner, so I've been going past it most days since works began, and it looks as if it's going to be on track for the 11th November. I have to say that it's a great project from ecolocal's perspective - for the community, encouraging exercise for all and with excellent transport links (there's a Fastrack stop specifically for the ground) and of course the green roof.
I'm not a football follower my self, but I have to say that this is on the mark. I hope that it's succesful. I'd like to know if there are any more green aspects to the build, so I'll make some enquiries and post them here if there are.

The first game seems to have been an incredible success, by all accounts.

Even more amazingly, the architect is the exquistively named 'Mei-yun Valdivia a L'Onions'.
