From what I gather the council are being given by Thor the “skeleton” of the Marston Arena and there is a plan to rebuild it on council owned land as a facility for the people of Northwich. How the people can make use of a football stadium I am at a loss to understand. What I am worried about is our old enemy, the Vics may be given it to start again in.
We should make our move now and tell the council we will have it if they can find suitable land and that from the sale of our existing ground we will build an adjacent sports area with Social Club for the use of the people of the town, run of course by us. I am sure our board can come up with a detailed plan that would be acceptable to the council. If we don’t do something and quickly those Arabs will be “In like Flynn”!!!
WHS.
You worry too much, I am sure part of the ground will be reused somewhere!
I agree the council are being given cash and free floodlights and stand to create a facility on land they already have, my suspicion is they will then rent this to a new slimy greens phoenix club and maybe someone else ? why would they not do it, I prefer to stay where I am and own our own club and manage our finances as we do now, if we ever do move then it must be to wholly owned ground.
A good time to reierate that their removal from the town might only be temporary. We have a small window of opporunity to attract the youth of the town NOW, while they’re away.
Families for a Fiver is a week on Saturday against Whitby so spread the word. Let’s try and get as many of the local kids down as possible, while we have the chance.
Just when we thought we had seen the last of them… But I do think we should find out just what the council plan to do with the “Skeleton” of the ground, it could have a large effect on our future. If the council agree to give us the land etc on the condition that we build a community facility next to it, say an artificial pitch that can be used for Hockey, Tennis etc then I think we should pursue the idea. If it turns out a “No goer” fine, but I think we should consider it.
