Playing Facilities
During 1991 it became apparent that in order to develop its playing facilities to the standard required the club needed to purchase playing fields. An agreement was reached to purchase 16 acres (65,000 m2) of land which was developed into three rugby pitches, one floodlit, a car park and changing rooms.
On the 27 August 1992, Neath RFC played a ‘trial’ match on the new fields and on Saturday 4 October 1992 the official opening ceremony of the field, floodlights and changing rooms was performed by the Welsh Rugby Union Chairman and Treasurer Mr. Glanmor Griffiths. A 250 seater stand with seats from the former Cardiff Arms Park has also been completed.

Famous quotes containing the words playing and/or facilities:
“Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright,
The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light;
And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout,
But there is no joy in Mudville—Mighty Casey has struck
out.”
—Ernest Lawrence Thayer (1863–1940)
“I have always found that when men have exhausted their own resources, they fall back on “the intentions of the Creator.” But their platitudes have ceased to have any influence with those women who believe they have the same facilities for communication with the Divine mind as men have.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
