ibenji Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 The Buffs, have floodlights purchased. Clubhouse is now in situ and just needs to the inside refurbed. Plans for Stands already approved by planning I believe too! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can always build a glorified shed (plus lights) to get the license, and worry about a proper stand later. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does that even work? Slip Joe the Councillor a few quid in an brown envelope to get City Building to throw up a bit of terracing with a cover on top? Asking for a friend at Rossvale.

Why wouldn't a Council be happy to see its' facilities up-graded and maintained by a large reputable grass-roots local organisation?
