New ground setback?

[Guest]

Regarding this story http://www.thisisessex.co.uk/essex/archi...n_setbacZM.html

 

Is a new ground for Canvey just a pipe dream?

Do you even need a new ground?

Do we need a new ground? You obviously haven't been to the current one!

Yellow Bungle are you half man or half biscuit?

Well isn't that just great? What Green Belt Land? haven't you got alternative sites? I thought that if Sadlers Farm doesn't come off, you were looking at other sites i.e. Waterside (that is the right place?).

 

A progressive club (and as a 'Ricay supporter, I can't deny Canvey that description) needs to be able to grow and your ground just ain't the place. Surely the "powers that be" know this? I mean, they can't deny that the success the club has had over the past five or six seasons is just a "flash in the pan"? And if the club wants to progress (even consolidate), then a development of facilities is what is required. And you just can't do it at Park Lane...It's a hole (no offence). These people must see that, if the club gets a better ground, better facilities, then it would benefit the local community.

 

A shame if it doesn't go ahead....For the club and the supporters, present and future....

Still waiting for a final verdict but i`m afraid it seems out of the local councils hands.

International bear of mystery, that's me. And "no" my girlfriend (well, wife) does not look like Peggy Mount.

Thanks for the responses (and pointing me to the previous thread). I'll be keeping an eye on further developments.

SKATEPARK GETS THE GO AHEAD

 

Castle Point Council`s planning committee last night gave the thumbs-up to the £100,000 venture to be built on green belt land next to the Waterside Sports complex in Somnes Avenue.
