nearly man Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Got to laugh, these clubs get these Astro pitches built as it's the way to go for some clubs , we get told it's the sign of the times we need to move forward then they expect folk to enjoy the poor facilities they put in place for the paying public, but it only probably effects visiting fans as Rossvale have a small amount of supporters anyway, place is a joke and let's down the junior game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beithboy Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 If theses clubs have a plan when they move to these custom built facilities I’m sorry I don’t see it. New tinto Park has been on the go for a good few years now and nothing has been done in that time to provide cover for fans (yes I know it costs money). But it costs money for clubs like Benburb and Rossvale money when fans don’t go to the games. because of the lack of facilities. These soulless plastic facilities don’t promote the game but discourage fans from going to them which was evident yesterday When you would lucky if there was 100 people at the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mon the papers Holm Park is looking good and will get better same as Buffs new ground however at top level of juniors some cover should be provided. Benburb have seats but no cover ffs. Sure that Bankies and Buffs will sort things out hopefully for next season. Benburb have been few seasons now though... the guy at Medda Park has thrown up a couple of small but effective shelters should get in touch with him 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would hope then to move on to other improvements around the place. Just the start for Holm Park 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightychewbacca Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 They have decent parking, a nice bar, clean toilets, clean area serving food, disabled access, seating for supporters, decent playing surface plus it's not built on a slope.. Needs cover but I'm sure they're reminded of that on a weekly basis its hardly a joke of a place. You visited during a storm that might explain the numbers. Your lot don't have some of those things 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nearly man Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Not built on a slope, jeezo that's original never heard that before you missed out we also have a Scottish cup 2 premier league titles and 2 west of Scotland cups in the last decade, your lot won't get any of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a lot of things to be considered when running a facility. Like keeping the lights on Different clubs will prioritise different things. From very recent experience things take a period of time to make them happen, like stands, new toilets, disabled fan facilities etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you've won in the last decade isn't the issue you raised in your original post 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your lot don't have some of those things You obviously have not been to Bellsdale for a few years. New toilet blocks finished last year, also toilets in the bar area, we have a bar, good food outlet with some of the best food in the juniors. Disabled access is very easy at Bellsdale. Plenty of parking in the areas around the park. And one of the best playing surfaces in the division. So what don’t we have that tinto Park has? Not to mention unlike tinto Park we have three covered terraces which I would rather have than a seat in the pissing rain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wow-wee Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 It's great how fans can come in here and shout that club's should build shelters when they have no idea of the cost of these things most junior club do have cover but most of them were built decade's ago when no planning or even building warrant was ever applied for but in today's environment all these things are now required and the cost for it before you pay for materials and Labour is way beyond most club's . Renfrew has a small shelter and it's a nice modern ground but what fans moaned about that it was to small ! If a team has no shelter and your a visiting fan then you know to take an umbrella or if you don t want to get wet then simp!y don t go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Pennel Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Yup,...encourage them to build shelter by not going. That'll work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy25 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Renfrews maybe a modern ground but it has no stepped terracing so unless you get to the front you'll have no view .

mightychewbacca Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 All of those facilities achieved over decades of investment. Some of it obviously very recent.

Ok so benburb lose out on 30 fans not going because there's no shed half the fans pay £3 the others £6 that gives them a grand total of £135 if they get 3 games a season where these stay away fans don t turn up still not going to be enough money to pay for a stand if they do turn up it is what it is don t go if you don t want to get wet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give them a chance Yes it has been and improvements are made at bellsdale EVERY year by volunteers giving up their time and helping improve the facilities at bellsdale. And here lies my point New Tinto park has been open for 5 years and nothing has been done to improve what us already there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
