FOOTES LANE

GRB-1293

Footes Lane is a multi-use sports stadium in Saint Peter Port, Guernsey. It is the main sports venue in Guernsey. It has a total capacity of 5,000 with 720 seated.

The stadium is used for a number of sports on the island. The stadium is mainly used by the Rugby Union team, Guernsey RFC who play in London 1 South and the stadium also hosts Guernsey's annual Siam Cup games against Jersey when the match is played in Guernsey.

The stadium also hosts Association Football and has hosted a Hampshire Cup match in 2010 with Guernsey side Guernsey Rangers defeating Hamble 4-2. It is the home ground of Guernsey F.C. who play in the Isthmian League Division 1 South. The team's first competitive match against Knaphill F.C. ended in a 5:0 win to Guernsey. In addition, the ground from 2003 to 2009 hosted Guernsey's Muratti games before the future games were moved to The Track due to fans complaining that the athletics track made them be too far away from any games. It is also noted that Guernsey did not win a single Muratti while playing at Footes Lane.

The ground is also used for athletics as seen by the running track around the outside of the pitch. Footes Lane in addition hosts the annual Guernsey Marathon and was also used for the athletics events at the 2003 Island Games.
