Bottom line is there was 2 AR and the Ref there that night and the decision wasn't a flippant one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginaro Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Tranent looking like they're on track with their floodlights project https://www.facebook.com/groups/456143221238457/permalink/1302355956617175/ Quote **Floodlight update** The Club would like to pass on their sincere thanks to everyone who contributed to our floodlight appeal. Over 6k was raised which is fantastic. A special thanks goes to our fundraising committee who all done an amazing job back in September with the wonderful afternoon in the Store Club. The Fa’side area partnership for a further donation to the club to help with this community project. The Club has decided to push the boat out and pay the extra monies to install LED floodlights as we feel this is the best option. It’s an option that future proofs the Club for years to come and is in line with our master plan for the Club. We have now engaged with a lighting specialist who will supply the LED lights and we are hopeful they will arrive in time for the SFA cut-off to meet the 2020 licensing criteria. The civils contractor starts work this coming Monday to continue with the install of the lighting columns which illustrates the further progression of the Club. Again, we couldn’t have achieved this without our amazing community & fans and we thank you once more for the wonderful support you give us, we have provisionally booked the store club for a race night at the end of January and we will also be announcing plans for our annual speakers event soon. Your support is great appreciated. ❤ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any other EoSL club currently installing lights, with a view to obtaining an SFA licence ? Whilst on the subject of club licensing, Golspie Sutherland (NCL) have been granted approval to install lights at St Georges Park (Nov 2019). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginaro Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Penicuik looking to raise funds to upgrade their floodlights, not surprising as the planning documents show they don't have the 200 lux required for the 2021 licensing criteria (neither do Dalkeith). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FairWeatherFan Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Sauchie had a meeting the other day. There has been some changes to their committee. Current Chairman stepping into what seems an honourary Presidency. This has led to a new Chairman, and new positions of Asisstant Secretary and Assitant Treasurer with other additions to the committee. https://sauchiejuniors.wordpress.com/2020/01/03/boardroom-shuffle-interview-with-ew-chair-karl-rennie/ If they were working with a fairly small committee previously that were just keeping the club ticking, it would explain why they haven't delved into licensing so far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to VoL's website, the council is not moving very quickly/positively to support the club in its intention to install floodlights. It is rumoured that some local residents may raise objections when (if) the planning application for lights, is submitted. Unless floodlights are installed by 2021, Vale will lose its SFA Membership, and also its Lowland League status. Does anyone have an update ? Other current SFA Members, Coldstream and 'Shippy' seem to be making reasonable progress regarding floodlights, which is positive. I have no idea about Girvan's situation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where does it say that on the VoL website? Last News update that seems floodlight related was from November regarding the public meeting. Which went well. There was some news about that either in this thread or somewhere else with quotes from local councillors that attended. Then the latest update on their facebook group page confirmed that planning permission had been submitted on December 30th. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 (edited) "Robert James" has some amount of sources amongst concerned residents who don't want floodlights near their homes. I think he knows someone in every housing scheme in Scotland going by his posts in these threads.

The VoL entry on the club's website was posted in October, expressing concerns about the council's apparent lack of progress. It also 'announced' the impending November meeting, which was to galvanise actions aimed at pushing things forward more quickly. . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he knows someone in every housing scheme in Scotland going by his posts in these threads. Fortunately I don't. However I have in the past, had some experience of the council planning process, which can be particularly painful when dealing with residents objections -v- football ground developments. Two examples of very lengthy delays, obstructions, appeals, etc, are Brighton and Cambridge City (not Camb United) when they were seeking permission for their new grounds to be built, both on out of town sites. Defunct juniors Inverness City failed to get council approval to extend the club's lease, and no viable alternatives were suggested by the council. Hence they folded. from "Uncle Bob" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
