Guy has a couple of successful buisnesses and wants to help his local football team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patriot1 Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Syngenta have been given fixtures in the latest update to be issued so they certainly haven’t withdrawn yet. There is a board meeting next week so we may get more of an update then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G_&_T Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 I hate to see a club go under, but I don't like football clubs named after companies or with American sounding names, like Caledonia Braves. Is this in anyway connected to the company's fortunes, or lack thereof? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potential issues with selling the ground as council owned and the allocation of the selling value wont nessesarily go to a new ground as its housing allocated money.

drs Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 You'd also need a new car park as there is no way the existing one would be able to cope with the golf club traffic and football traffic and no way the council is allowing something being built there that would see people parking on the road - the roadworks the last month or so show why that would be a big no no. Then you'd have to throw in that the ground at Stirling Road is probably the only place in Camelon that's actually wetter than the canal side of the pitch at Carmuirs. Plus I suspect the far bigger issue would be actually getting the planning approved as I cant see the residents of Centurion Way being too happy about a football stadium (and floodlights) being slung up over the road from them, assuming it would be an all weather cage so in use most nights. Committee would have some explaining to do if the club are moving, hopefully @alan862 can confirm its just a rumour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy groundhopper Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Is it purely a case of a youth/amateur club thinking the jump into adult, bigger League football is fairly straightforward ? Or is it just the lack of ground, as I would have thought they'd have enough volunteers to help - or as seen around Bristol, tons of help when kids are playing - but lack of interest when kids grow up. A shame to see clubs fold, obviously I don't know the whole story with the owner etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
