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.
