kabjo Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 When's people going to be told other clubs who shall remain nameless have refused to get changed in the dressing rooms even heading home straight after a game as the dressing rooms aren't up to sjfa rules .I stand to be corrected but has the buffs park not been broken into at vandalised at a major cost in the past few years many a time .

The bar, containers and pie cabins have been broken into this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffy1899 Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Think we need 2 realise this committee has been left with no choice act on the facilities at the club coz of other previous committees neglecting what was needing done.As far as I can see it's either some 1 cums up with 70k plus or we have no choice, but 2 move 2 the better facilities at ksc and build on 2 them in time.

I have been going Buffs park for a number of years, From what I have seen over the last few years is continued improvement with the bar, and food hut! To be honest I agree about the changing rooms, they do need upgraded. I think that the committee have to make their call however I feel to try and blame other hard working predecessors is not right.

kabjo Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Previous committees have had the same problems now a opertunity has arisen to solve a big problem this committee has reacted by putting the move to ksc in the public knowledge that a move is possible with a plan to move and information about said move if someone comes up with another idea I'm sure the committee will listen .

Lol far from it.just the few supporters who don't like change need 2 b realistic.the facilities have been neglected from the mcluckie era and this committee has been forced 2 do something bout it.id love some 1 with 70 -100k 2 walk in ,but it's unlikely.im sure most will be there no matter where we play .

As far as I know there’s never really been the capital to do that level of work, we aren’t blaming anyone, committees have been applying for funding and getting refused since IDC, Irvine Bay and recently NAC, it also isn’t the councils place to keep junior football grounds up to scratch, as we all the councils are skint as well, no help for Dalry, no help for Saltcoats.

akc16 Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Abbey park obviously in a bad way but Pennyburn isn’t suitable for a top Junior team especially with potential pyramid changes. For comparison what’s the cost for upgrades there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kabjo Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Being at pennyburn is about being part of a bigger picture that opens up roots to funding if in 10/20 years time buffs are higher up in a pyramid system then there is room for improvement or expansion if needed abbey park at the moment has room for nothing surrounded by houses and the garnock .

For basic SFA license it needs a stand, some fencing off and not much more, it has enough unused building at the pitch side for catering, committee room and toilets and there’s an area for a match day bar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

energyzone Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 I know these things cost money but it would be good to see an artist's impression of what a potential stadium at KSC would look like, if it gets to the stage where a move might be imminent. It might help convince people who are unsure.Just thinking ahead - it's conceivable that in 3-5 years the club could be entering the senior Scottish cup and bring drawn at home against an established league side. The last thing we want happening is seeing Beith, Talbot etc progressing through a pyramid and drawing some decent opposition in cups while we are unable to compete because the facilities aren't good enough.Someone earlier mentioned away fans wouldn't be attracted to KSC because of a lack of shops/bookies etc. I think the only thing I really want when going to an away match is somewhere close and safe to park my car.

Appraisal Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 The sports club cannot accommodate this without 1 of the show parks going, the dressing rooms can hardly fit a youth team never mind adults, sometimes the easy option is not necessarily the correct one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well lucky you,usually our amateur team gets punted into the old changing rooms wae shite showers,also there’s no where near enough parking down there,so they would need to do something to accommodate a junior team at ksc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
