Council condemns football pavilion

Two teams' changing rooms affected

Douglas council says it’s had to close changing rooms at football pitches in Pulrose because of safety fears.

The pavilion facilities are suffering structural problems, including a bowing wall and water seeping into light fittings.

The local authority says it’s had to condemn the building and postpone matches due to be played there by Pulrose United and Douglas Athletic.

 The pavilion is now fenced off to the public as the council and clubs try to raise around £250,000 to replace it.
