Title: Football venues in and around Swindon Post by: Jimmy Glass is an Alien on Wednesday, January 11, 2012, 15:28:49 Afternoon TEF-ers
As part of my fundraising for the London Marathon later this year I was looking to organise a charity football event. Ideally I was looking to have a 24hr football match. I know a lad at work who organised an event at Croft and managed to make £2k from his event. The problem I'm having is that nobody seems to want to help or provide a quote that is reasonable. I have contacted the following venues: Link - Too much to hold event due to staffing costs Croft - Can't hold event Dorcan - £450 for a 12hr. Next Generation - £250-£275 but are pissing me about. Futsal - £3k! for a 24hr event. Can anyone recommend a venue that can offer it for as cheap as possible? All proceeds after costs will go to charity.

It's indoor but I struggle with an hour let alone 24 - the air con is pretty naff so it gets super hot in there.

So cant see why that couldn't hold a 24 hour event, plus its away from housing so no one could complain about noise

St. Joes, Greendown (I think!) and the one where Sippo works or worked, the name escapes me - over red house way. The Ridgeway... The County Ground? Title: Re: Football venues in and around Swindon Post by: Sippo on Wednesday, January 11, 2012, 21:19:40 Schools wouldn't do it as they wouldn't stay open for 24 hours.
I work in Faringdon, but we have no astro/3G pitch. Title: Re: Football venues in and around Swindon Post by: leefer on Wednesday, January 11, 2012, 21:22:14 http://www.strattonstmargaret.gov.uk/Recreation-Areas/Football-Pitch-Hire.aspx
