PossilYM Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Pollok set up a Go Fund page in January this year 2022 and switched the lights on at a Friday night at the end of May. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy groundhopper Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Would hope that Rob Roy get a good deal on the ground, don't think anyone could ever buy it completely. Be a shame if others muscled their way in, and got good tenancy deals ahead of KRR. Ground looking good so far, sure there's still a fair bit to be done. Never got to their old ground sadly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know how things currently stand with Rob Roy and the likelihood they will be allowed to use the new Council ground?Did Rob Roy invest the proceeds of the sale of Adamslie into the new facility (if so you would presume they would be guaranteed use of the new ground)? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Council have made the decision just not released info yet as per council dragging their heals. If Rob Roy are successful they will be investing money from adamslie sale to further improve the new facility 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adamslie was a nice ground with a distinctive pavilion. And the only ground where I've been to the last event game ..twice. After the original "last game" they won a game in a cup and got a home tie which was their last game at Adamslie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think is wasn't just about SFA license but that was main topic. I've not heard anything else on the matter or what happened at the meeting. Anyone shed any light on it? Surely given the proximity to residential property there's no chance of them being allowed to put floodlights up? People's back gardens literally look onto the pitch 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope RR do get the lease on the new ground but i can see the council giving it to Glasgow City. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mediocre Pundit Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 The local SNP councillors made a big thing about bringing Rob Roy home at the last elections - would be totally cynical (although not entirely surprising) if they were to go back on that commitment now that there are no votes to be won. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People's back gardens literally look onto the pitch That's just exact same as Pollok FC, (actually even worse as Pollks ground looks onto flats whose windows look directly to the floodlights), and I thought there would be plenty of complaints and not heard many to be fair and even after fitted and being used, I haven't heard any complaints, and i would say people love Hurlford and most want to see the team and club and their community do well. I just haven't heard how the meeting went. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure every households would have a been contacted and informed of potential procedure and what the outcome would be and that it wouldn't be lights staring into their houses. So if there haven't been any complaints then work can commence 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The council need to get the best deal for council tax payers as if they don't they leave themselves open to legal challenges which could delay it even longer. For me it is in everyones best interest to get RR back to Kirky but I also feel the committee at the time need to shoulder some responsibility for moving from Adamslie before having another ground lined up. The fans should take so much credit in keeping turning up week in week at someone else's ground in another town. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just haven't heard how the meeting went. It's not the same though. There's a road between Newlandfields and the flats. At Hurlford the retaining fence of the ground doubles as a garden fence for the neighbours 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 There are houses backing on to Tranent's ground and you can probably see Forrester's Park from Fife, the lights are that bright there. Still, who knows with councils.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
