Annan Athletic FC is a football club, formed in 1942 that plays in the Scottish League Two, the fourth tier of the Scottish Professional Football League. Away from the football pitch, the 2,500 capacity stadium is also used as a social club hosting parties, supporters on match days, weddings, birthdays and functions.
The social space catering for up to 260 people at any time and is a popular venue choice in the area. To start the year, the club decided that a refurbishment of the clubhouse tables and chairs was necessary.
The club trawled the internet for a suitable furniture supplier and they came across Trent Furniture. “It was proving quite difficult to make decisions on behalf of 400 members and 11 fellow directors,” explains Ross Johnstone, Annan Athletic FC director. “That's where Trent came in. I spoke with them, explaining what we were after, and they sent samples of cloth and tabletops.”
“It was decided to go with Trent based on the price quality and turnaround of goods. There was a bit of discussion between ourselves but we managed to get the product we wanted within our budget and when we wanted it.”
To fill the bar and function rooms, the club ordered 100 harrow steel stacking chairs and 30 rectangular black pyramid tables. The easily stackable chairs can be upholstered in a range of colours and the choice of colour was obvious considering the team is nicknamed the black and golds. To match with the famous colours of the team’s strip, the harrow chairs were upholstered in black and gold flatweave.
The transformation of the football club’s social space is now complete with new tables and chairs. The space is now perfect for a pre-match pint or to use as a private hire for a party.
