* The police have asked those who use
the Colcot Sports Centre, particularly during match
days, to show more consideration for local residents. Avoid
blocking drives, take care when walking between other parked
vehicles and take your litter home with you. These few simple steps
will make the football experience much more pleasant, and will
avoid you receiving a ticket.
Book a pitch
If you want to book a pitch for football, rugby, or cricket
(depending on the season), find out how much pitches
cost.

Weather and Ground conditions
It is the Parks and Grounds Maintenance
Division's objective to have as many football pitches available for
use at any time during the football season. There are times when
inclement weather and ground conditions make this impossible. If
there is a potential difficulty with bad weather sites are
inspected by Parks and Grounds Maintenance Division staff and
decisions on the suitability for play are made using the following
guidelines.
Jenner Park
At Jenner Park the decision is with the
referee.
Leagues
The following leagues are allowed to assess
the ground and make a referees decision.
The (McWhirter) Welsh Football League, South
Wales Football Association (Thomas Carroll) Senior League, South
Wales (Monnington Group) Amateur Football League and The South
Wales FA Youth League.
Pitch inspections are undertaken on a Friday
morning and discussion are held with officials of the Vale of
Glamorgan Senior League officials about the use of pitches at the
Buttrills Playing Field. Agreement is reached on which pitches are
available and these are allocated on a priority basis by the Vale
of Glamorgan Senior League officials.
If the conditions are unsuitable, mini and
junior matches are cancelled.

Maintenance Division with the exception of the following:-
