Belfast Stadium - Home of STFC

[P Janik (personally)]

[color:"blue"]To see a map showing the location of Belfast Stadium, the former home of Slough Town Football Club, please click on the attachment button above this posting.

 

Disadvantages: no hotel to build, no shops to build, no houses can be built on the field, no get-rich schemes for Deaner or for anyone else, and no work for Taylor Woodrow either. The site is in the new Bayliss-Stoke ward (strongly Labour) so no political points can be gain by the Labour Party, much football history.

 

Advantages: excellent transport links, 60 seconds walk from Farnham Road A355, is in the actual 1936 Heart of Slough (The Nigel Mobbs story), free parking in The Centre car park, football keen councillor living in the same road, on main bus route, across the Farnham Road is a McDonalds take-away.

 

Is it too small to run as a multi-million pound business?

 

YOU COULD CALL IT BELFAST PARK

One small question, don't you ever sleep?

[Matt]

OK in all seriousness I've looked at the map and my first conclusion is, that the site is too small for the kind of development Slough Town would want. I don't know how big the area ACTUALLY is, as I've just seen the map, but I don't think there'd be enough room for the kind of project Martyn Deaner has hinted at before (e.g 6,000 capacity ground, on-site parking, training pitches etc).

 

To answer your question, yes it is too small to run as a multi-million pound business. And to become a successful (i.e ultimately getting into the League) and financially secure club, I believe Slough Town would probably need extra sporting facilities and even a proposed hotel complex. Just look at Reading FC. I'm sure you'll disagree, but my gut feeling is that STFC needs more than just a stadium.

Get Real.....

 

If the proposal are sorted for Keneady Park...and proper landscape and proper planning ! May just be up to the requirements you are looking for !

 

The residents are up in arms about football ! The statdium and its Supporters....and the Town it's self...

 

and may I say the National Game....But it is alright for them to support football teams in the football league !

 

and don't give a dam about their local team !

 

Double standards....I Think.....

 

To answer a previous question...What Has Slough Town Done for its local community....

 

Last year we gave to local charities in excess of

10,000 pounds ....raised by its supporters and football club....

 

5,000 to Slough league of friends (hospitals and old folks homes)

3,000 to Taplow Police to help with bereived families of road accidents

2,000 to Charjoe a local ceryibal p. group.

 

 

You tell me what other club in this town has raised this money....

 

We believe in our Town , its people and its standing in the football world and we represent our town every week !

 

Lets all get something from this proposal and The Town The Team and its residents..

Take a look at this and you will see from the aerial photograph that the site is no way near large enough to support a purpose build stadium with parking facilities etc.

[Paul]

Would the addition of a hotel, leisure complex, shops etc. not create jobs for the people of Britwell?

[Guest]

Maybe a car park attendent ! for you know who !

 

lol..... Chris

So how can Mr Janik seriously suggest that this piece of land is big enough for an ambitious club like STFC? It looks even smaller than Wexham Park.

Correct me if I'm wrong,but when I went to Herschel Grammar School,they owned the stadium in Belfast Ave.

I went to Herschel too and I remember using that place as our hockey pitch but I don't think the school actually owned it, we just used it for games, and smoking and snogging behind the raised bits of the cycle track where you couldn't be seen (I hasten to add that naturally I never took part in such activities <img src="/images/graemlins/angel.gif" alt="" /> )....I don't know for sure though....

[Guest]

Yes when I attended school there it was owned by the Education Authority-and for awhile football was played on what was an excellent pitch,with cycling on the track on its perimeter.Slough Boys Club also used to play there in the days of a very young Terry Reardon.I would bow to your probably more recent knowledge,only I was there in the middle to late sixties.The stand by the way was falling down then lol.

as i have lived two roads away from belfast ave all my life

i can honestly say it will hold a football club of conf standard only

ie like wycombes

it did have a boys club in the main building

boxing in the wooden building on the end and various other activities when i was a lot younger

this could be a possible site if things go tits up

which hopefully wont
