One of the most famous rugby towns in the world is relishing its new rugby stadium, constructed using Ash & Lacy's AshGrid spacer support system. The sports fans of Llanelli in South Wales are supporting their home teams at the spectacular Parc y Scarlets.
Ash & Lacy's AshGrid system and AshFix fixings were used on the north-east quadrant of the brand new 15,000 capacity stadium. Aberclad, the main roofing and cladding contractors on the project, specified Ash & Lacy based on both the service and quality of the product.
Greg Hillman, Aberclad, commented, 'We always use Ash & Lacy products because we receive great customer service and the products are always of a high quality and easy to install. We had such a professional team of contractors and suppliers working on site, that we were able to finish the project before time'.
World-renowned professional team The Scarlets and semi-professional team Llanelli RFC, have been enjoying home wins at their new home. Both teams previously played at the world-famous Stradey Park until moving to the larger Parc y Scarlets in November '08.
Parc y Scarlets offers the teams more space and the most hi-tech facilities available to meet the needs of the senior team's professional status.
There is a training barn onsite which can be used by members of the community as well as the teams, a training pitch, cardio studio, dedicated physiotherapy rooms and athletics track. Parc y Scarlets also has the first rugby pitch in the UK to use fibre elastic reinforcing technology combined with 100% natural grass surface, producing a 'spongy' surface for players, reducing the risk of injury. The design of the stadium itself means the crowd are close to the rugby, resulting in an electrifying atmosphere.
Scarlets managing director Gareth Davies said, 'Everyone is over the moon with the new stadium. Our players have the training facilities to meet their needs and we were very close to hitting our capacity of around 15,000 for our official opening game at the end of January. Our fans, players and sponsors all love it.'
