Peel Park is already used not only by the school but also by Peel Park FC and Huncoat United Juniors FC. Clearly the priority is the pupils followed by other users. If Stanley were training on a grassed area every day it would not be fit for use by anybody else.
Some people might also subscribe to the argument that Stanley are a private company and why should they have any support from HBC or LCC(not neccessarily my view) but one that I have heard debated
LCC do own the land but it is "managed by the Governing Body" via lettings agreements with the above club. re the "rip off fair" again this is a lettings agreement with the school. The Carnival and Fair is a charitable event were the profits are allocated to several good causes in the local community are you able to suggest a better venue?
