Noble’s Park’s infamous sloping football pitch could be levelled and made bigger under plans submitted by Douglas Council.
The pitch is currently home to Governor’s Athletic and is located adjacent to the start of the return lane on the TT Course.
Head of Parks Suzanne Parkinson said: “The existing pitch is small at 91m x 49m and the playing surface is very uneven. This is due to the pitch being on a slope from touch line to line and undulates from goal line to goal line.
“The proposed works are to increase the pitch to 96m x 55m using the shallowest fall, building up the levels to achieve the desired flatter playing surface, using 4,000sqm of subsoil and 2,000sqm of topsoil.”
There is no clear indication when the work could be done, but it will come as a welcome move for any of the island’s footballers who have played on it.
