From the Kent Messenger:

 

 

Cash subsidy to soccer centre company

 

THE city council is considering providing cash subsidies of up to

If only ehh Frankie!

What you have to remember Canterbury City are a community football club and embrace both male and female teams as well as providing football facilities for the non able bodied members of the public. I suggest that the next time you see Mr P. Knight (Canterbury) listed as the referee you talk to him about getting the council on your side.

Can we be a fairtrade team? Bananas or Java coffee at half time, anyone? That'll do for the council (are Easykill's carpets fairtrade?)

[GEEBEE]

good post frankie

[Guernsey Tom]

Again great post Frankie, nail on the head!!

[Chris1]

Knocking the council is good fun, but is it in the interests of MFC? If someone called me an egotistical moron I wouldn't be too inclined to help them (especially if it was true).

[MargateFan]

Fair point, Chris.

 

With a lot of these local politicians it is more about bragging rights over tackle size. Perhaps the fact that Canterbury seem to have far larger cojones and will get a bigger willy in a shorter time frame than Thanet's slightly more artistic, albeit costly, one, might resonate?

You do have a meat obsession June.

[MargateFan]

That's a fact.

[Frankie100]

Maybe as Thanet is such the deprieved area Ezekiel goes on about(something he has not helped with) we should use the supposed EU funds we have meant to have received like they did in Italy

The council appear to be very good at knocking themselves without our help Chris. It is a well known fact that Frankies best mate Ezekiel (dem bones dem bones...) would like nothing better than Hartsdown Park to be the next Taylor Wimpey housing estate. (God help us, I live on one!!!!)

[Ian_Sanderson]

I have heard that Hartsdown Park is owned by TDC ?

[Frankie100]

Hartsdown Park was GIVEN to the town by a former mayor for the benefit of the towns people and to be used for leisure purposes.

Despite there being a covenant on the area along with Dane Park and Northdown Park that has not stopped this council led by Ezekiel trying to sell off areas to housing when they have no legal right to do so.

Maybe he expects to be given the carpeting contract for all new houses built

[Ian_Sanderson]

Thanks for clearing that up Frankie.

[StuyRandall]

if he has no legal right to sell it, why doesnt someone take him to the high court or something??

 

or was that another of my stupid suggestions...

I believe that Jackey Bakers has a similar covenent but that has not stopped a chunk of it being taken up (and therefore one football pitch less) for the new Westwood access road.
