The Pollok United Blog

As the funding for this fantastic project has now come to an end we thank Michael Devine for all his efforts in helping to increase and maintain the number of girls playing football at Pollok Utd over the last 3 years. We are delighted at his continued commitment in the girls section and the club. Well done and thanks again Michael.

Pollok United successfully applied and secured funding to support the change to LED lights at DD park, big thank you to Cammy Watt / Corrie Campbell at the SFA and Hallidays our contractor. This work will help reduce the amount of energy used at DD park and help reduce running costs at this time of a cost of living crisis. We now focus on the upgrade of the lights at Nethercraigs and ways we can move towards Net Zero for each of our facilities. Thank you to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport for their support too.
