Here goes again!

According to the LET, council leader Britcliffe has urged the planning committee to grant Stanley permission to use the temporary control room for another year. Local councillor Malcolm Pritchard has condemned him for this and said that local residents shouldn't have to put up with the portakabin any longer.
 
I can't see the difference to the residents whether it's a temporary structure or a permanent one, ok it might be a bit prettier but would probably be in the same place it is now. I'm getting a bit fed up with hearing of what the residents shouldn't have to put up with, as has been said before most moved in when the club was already there and as also has been said, I'd swap my house with any one of em
 
According to the LET, the council have allowed Stanley to keep the temporary structure for another year. Council Pritchard called the structure a "monstrosity". Get a grip, man - it's only a portakabin, not a nuclear power plant!
 
Money is tight, we all know that. Nobody has been more vocal about these issues than me this season, but when things are as tight as they are right now, what's the point of spending?

I don't blame the residents for complaining. The temporary building is horrendous. However, if we don't need it next season it'll come down anyway.

Because if we're relegated we won't need it. Why spend money if it's not necessary?

But surely thats money from a grant by FL funds to go towards doing so??? then if its not necessary & we do go down surely the money has to be returned as its not been spent on whatever they funded ASFC for:confused:

I believe that we haven't received any grant money.

Before people get carried away, the article is inaccurate - the club is yet to receive any grant funding.

any money for improving the ground, that we may or may not have recieved, has been spent on just that, ground improvements.

control room
cctv
police command centre
electronic turnstile counter computer thingy
extra turnstiles
perimeter fencing
segregation imrovements
toilets and plumbing
first aid room
pitchside wall on whinney hill terace
increased security features
improved public address system
tarmacing of internal compound areas

I can go on . . . . . .

As regards the control room the club have done lots of things to try and appease the residents for instance, the window that was over looking eric whalley way to livingstone round was filled in so it didn't over look the residents gardens anymore, and the area of the steps which has been mentioned, originally was only walled by a scaffolding rail, but now has a 5 foot high wood garden fence round it so that people can no longer stand on the landing there and gaze into the residents back gardens.

I have one question, what are the residents growing in their back gardens, and why don't they want people to see it?!!!!!;) ;) :D
 
One of our neighbours has a hot tub and I cannot imagine they would want a police patrol room looming over it.

May be it would bit reminiscent of part of Northern Cyprus with an army watch tower by the beach.

The council will not compromise with Whalley until he pays what is owed, believe me the council have bent over backwards to help Stanley but Whalley is the problem.

Felix you know the money is available so cut the crap.;)

I know the money is available....?? :o The money is not available as was suggested in the article.

The roof is the priority and I believe that the roof will be done or at least well underway by the start of next season. For which, an application for grant funding has indeed been submitted.

The police control room has to my knowledge cropped up quite suddenly - this certainly isnt someting high on he club's agenda as an individual item although as part of the long term stadium improvement, it will be addressed.

The morons who protest at absolutely everything the club does, need to get a hobby. They are pathetic, why would anyone be interested in what those bores get up to in their back garden.

Felix,

As an employee of the Club, do you think that it is wise to post comments like the one highlighted, as the people that you refer to as 'morons' may well read this post and I for one was under the impression that the Club was trying to get relations with thier neighbours on a better footing.

Comments like this will do nothing to help the situation, but most probably will damage the rather fragile relationship that is in place now.

With all due respect, perhaps you should try to remember your position within the Club and think a little more before posting inflamatory remarks on a PUBLIC forum.

Just a thought.
 
Excellent point Ukcowboy seems that club employees/reps are allowing their mouth to open before engaging the brain especially when club issues are concerned, which doesn't create a good impression & in this case could give those neighbours more ammo to fire with against the club, which we could do without!

Just a couple of things I'd like to add....
Irrespective of my job these are my personal views, to which I am entitled to hold and share THESE ARE NOT THE VIEWS OF THE ORGANISATION FOR WHOM I AM EMPLOYED.


and to the person who left me bad karma calling me a PROSTITUTE....why the secrecy?
 
Just hope that ASFC stay in the league and that they can then get this building worked out so that the vast majority of people are happy.
