We are just not privy to all the relevant information the Club used to make their decision. It's for the Board of Directors to make those decisions....not you or me or anyone else. It's closed and gone NS. We can only "move on" and support the team, staff and club on match days and where we can.

Apparently not. this Eastham guy has now admitted that the 140k from the council WOULD fund the Academy deficit for a year.
But hes not accepting it because either because he wants them to fund the soundproofing of Coleys instead [ which clearly isnt going to happen ] or because the problem will be the same in a years time and he cant be arsed to spend that year ensuring that the required funding is in place by then.
I find it unbelievable that people on here are quite content to roll over and let them remove whats seen as a vital part of a lower league football club and dont see the closure as not just the loss of the route into the professional game for local kids but the best tool that the club has to raise football fortune to provide the club with an income stream going forward and the fact that it hasnt done for the last couple of seasons or isnt expected to next season and shouldnt be seen as a reason to close it but should be seen as a reason to make it better and start finding a few more Ross Sykes.
