Building work starts at DFC??

[DorkingDave]

Saw a couple of ML Construction pick-ups down at the Meadowbank ground yesterday. Notice a couple of new advertising hoardings erected. Has some work started BJR?

Work is starting Dave!

 

Tony Webb has been made Director of football and there is at last what looks like a football school/youth setup starting based at the club according to the website.

 

this looks like the start of good things, I hope it all goes well.

Titsf, have you got the link for that forum you use to air your views on.

thats the "independent" one gussy.

 

nothing been said for a while to be honest since the court case was decided.

[Big J R]

Yes - ML Construction are sponsors.

 

Yes - They are starting renovations in the club-house.

 

Yes - DFC are in the process of issuing a Football Development Plan which will set out in some detail the values and aims of Dorking Football Club as it seeks to operate as a modern vibrant club. DFC have much discussion internally in the Club to finalise our submission in support of our FA Charter Standard application but will aim to finish this and send off to the Surrey County FA development department by the end of the month for their feedback and input.

 

I have seen the draft Development Plan in its draft state, and I will keep those interested up to speed.

 

BJR.

[DorkingDave]

Thanks BJR.

 

Would have thought the dressing rooms would be first candidates for rejuvination.

 

Good to see the councils action has spurred DFC Ltd into action.

[Big J R]

Certainly on the priority list, Dave.

 

Can't say more than that at the moment.

[xmanager]

Do we know what league Dorking are in next season, and heard a rumour that Justin Skinner is the new coach at Dorking.

Anyone heard anything.

[Big J R]

League division will be decided at the forthcoming CCL AGM.

 

Cannot comment about Justin Skinner

[Teflon]

At present it's expected to be Div 1 but until its confirmed any thing can happen.

 

Justin Skinner is in the local rag as being the new coach at Dorking Wanderers.

[xmanager]

[Teflon]

We were waiting to get our lease renewed ahead of doing any major modernisation, as why would we want to do any major work before that ?

Given that the Club House is major source of income that obviously has to come first.

I think you will find that after the result of the court-case, it was M.V.D.C. that were suddenly spurred into action.

They were only given three months, and the clock is ticking !

[DorkingDave]

Heard MVDC are short of cash, thinking of selling the council offices for redevelopment as housing.

 

Probably be wanting more than

[Big J R]

Now, that's the best report we've had from you, Dave.

 

Incidently, The Bottle-Bank/Multi-Bee-Hive/MVDC Headquarters IS due to be sold.

 

M.V.H.Association is moving out of Pippbrook shortly, and moving to the old Redland building near Dorking North Station.

 

I see our local refereeing Councillor is getting plenty of photo opportunities in the local press, AND he's wearing a suit and tie !

could you clarify something bjr?

"WE were waiting to get OUR lease renewed"

are you using the "we" in football supporting terms "WE won the cup"?

Or are you more involved at the club?

Are your posts purely independent or do they sometimes reflect/state the views of the club?

[Gussy]

TITsf are you upset that Jr feels comfortable saying WE re: Dorking???

[Jeff Hamnett TSF]

not upset Gussy, curious. its one thing to say "we" got relegated and another to say "our" lease.

 

there have been a couple of directors added to the club gussy.

 

Is director of coaching a loose football term or does that involve directorship of the ltd co?

[DorkingDave]

Just what we need, more housing without parking, going to turn the library into flats no doubt.

 

I rather like the council offices, from an architectural stand point anyway.

[Gussy]

 

I see what you mean DD very nice!!!
