Description: Dartford Football Club (the 'Darts') were returning to their home town and to a new innovative football stadium.
The new ground is something a bit special and quite unlike any other football stadium. It's been designed on thoroughly green lines - even down to the grass roof on the 100% fully covered terraces. The stadium has a very low profile as it is sunk into the ground and very curvy. There is no trace of corrugated iron anywhere.
Commission Title:

We were contacted, via this web site, to discuss
something unusual - the ambition to bring some sculpture into the
stadium.
Not in the Directors' Lounge or Foyer … but on the Terraces!
So we worked with the architects on proposals
for something on appropriate for the terraces.
