Footes Lane, Multi-purpose stadium in Saint Peter Port, Guernsey.
Footes Lane is a multi-sport stadium in Saint Peter Port, Guernsey, built around a grass playing field and a covered grandstand. Alongside the main pitch, the site includes club rooms and spaces set up for rugby, football, field hockey, and athletics.
The covered grandstand was finished before Guernsey hosted the 2003 Island Games, turning the site into a venue capable of welcoming competitors and visitors from across the islands. Since then, it has served as the main sports ground on the island.
The Siam Cup, played annually between Guernsey and Jersey, is hosted at Footes Lane whenever Guernsey holds home advantage. The ground also stages Guernsey RFC matches in National League 2 South and Guernsey football fixtures in the Isthmian League Division 1 South.
Because the site is used for several sports, it is worth checking in advance which parts of the ground are open on the day you plan to visit. The club rooms on site offer a place to gather before or after an event.
The grandstand opened for the 2003 Island Games cost £1.2 million and won a Civic Trust award for architectural design within its first year. Club and function rooms were added in 2011. Guernsey did not win a single Muratti match while the football final was played here between 2003 and 2009.
