Control Room Extension Refused!

Neil shouldn't the question be does Hyndburn want a football league team?.more bum's on seats or more fans in the standing area would help 
the residents knew when they moved into them houses that thier is a football pitch behind them so what were they expecting, they proberly dont want it becuase it blocks thier view of the pitch the freeloaders, you see them on the estate behind the cowshed watching from thier houses, thats why they refused the cow shed planning in the past
I was actually being sarcastic blaming the residents, sorry.
but if all that was required was to paint the damn thing and screen it off then Neil's question whether we want to be a league team is perfectly fair. If that ends up costing us anything at all then questions need to be asked.

No it should not. The question should be did the club think it could ignore the planning conditions put upon it and they would disappear?
Thank you, that's the point I was trying to make. If a lick of paint would have kept the planning officers happy then was it not worth it?
We must remember that planning officers have to follow national rules and regulation's and not just Hyndburn ones. I read that it was a close call last year. That should have been a strong message to the club.
I would not want to see anything bad happen to the club personally but you can't blame the Council for enforcing planning requirements.
I didn't realise the houses were built that recently ?
People are getting a bit confused.. not helped when the telegraph show a picture of the TV gantry over the cow shed as the control room.
But saying that.. arn't you all getting a bit ahead of yourselves.. do you really think the club wont sort a poxy little thing like this out in time.. do you really think they would let us be kicked out of the league... have faith they will sort it... deep down you know they will
A good post, Neil. I agree with what you've said.
I'm no football fan but I wouldn't wish anything bad to happen to the club either.
However, the planning dept cannot go around making exceptions willy nilly or where would it all end?
They have to be seen to be being fair and abiding by the rules for all.
they have more to worry about than a thousand or so Stanley fans. If they backed down (again) on this then surely that gives the residents of Hyndburn a license to build whatever they want regardless of planning law?
It has nothing to do with Councillors. The planning officers are employed by the Council to do their job. If the Councillors over ruled them, which they do, and upset resident could appeal and if there appeal was right then the club would loose.
Councillors often over rule the planners only to loose out on appeal.
There is a good program on the TV about planners and what powers they have on the TV at the moment. It showed a case where Councillors went againts the advice of the planning committee - they Councillors lost at appeal.
If the Council had upheld the application no one would/could have appealed.
Agree with you completly more concerned about there own well-beingsHyndburn Council
107 The Bee: Councillors deny they have it in for Stanley
If this leads to the club being chucked out of the league, I hope the council feel proud of themselves.
Your correct on the Police point, this is because most of Accy's match's are low key affairs as regards Policing. The only time there is a bigger police presence is when there is a team who are known to have a bunch of idiots that support them (we know who they are, don't we!) Certain teams even bring their local force with them as spotters to advise local officers who the numpties are. The only point about the control room is that it must have 360 degree views of the ground plus certain cameras looking around the outsid. This we have now, but if it has to be moved, it is not just the building of it, but also the moving of all the optical cabling and tannoy and phone cabling, not a big job for someone in the know. Hopefully, the club will have this sorted for next season or otherwise we could have bigger problems, because I am sure you need this for Blue Square Conference or Football League, wherever we end up next season.

Dont forget the stand we have to have! Lots of things to be done at the FES!
To be fair, it's subject to tax and National Insurance Contributions, just like any other job. And, apart from the leader and a few of the committee chairmen, I think you'll find the allowance is significantly less than £10,000; probably less than half.
Mike - that is simply not ture.
There is no tax on it as it is seen as 'expenses'.
The lowest 'paid' councillors in the country are on 9 grand
a vice chairmen or full chairman of a council is looking at 14-16k
Now that's the real spirit of Stanley...a lad from Cleethorpes offering to come over and help out. What a pity some who live a great deal nearer the club don't have just a little bit of that spirit.
