Footes Lane, Multi-purpose stadium in Saint Peter Port, Guernsey.
Footes Lane is a multi-purpose stadium in Saint Peter Port with a grass playing surface and a modern grandstand providing 720 seats within a 5,000 total capacity. The facility supports multiple sports including rugby, football, field hockey, and athletics, with additional club rooms and spaces for events.
The modern grandstand was completed before the 2003 Island Games, marking an important step forward for Guernsey's sports infrastructure. This development allowed the island to host major sporting events.
The venue hosts the Siam Cup rugby matches between Guernsey and Jersey teams when held on Guernsey soil. This competition carries strong local pride and attracts followers from both islands.
The grounds are well-organized with different sport zones in one location, so it helps to check ahead which areas are available for your intended sport. The additional club rooms and event spaces make it easy to find amenities for visitors.
During the 2003 Island Games football final, about 6,000 spectators filled the stadium despite the official 5,000 capacity. This unexpected surge of visitors shows how much the islands care about this important competition.
