Lot of hard work , well done . To much infighting with our local council and power changes between the two main local parties every 4 years or so, the Recreation ground is a 28 acre site and really has scope to be turn into a first class sports venue, the local council has it on a 99 year lease from Coal Industry Social Welfare Organisation so are reluctant to spend, however we do have a good plot of land within the village that could be sold and the proceeds used on a self build clubhouse, we have all the necessary tradesmen to easily carry out this task. Because other areas are upgrading their facilities the Moorends/Thorne area has seen locals going out of the area to play their sport, in fact the two local cricket teams have both folded, the main football team have gone from what was the Yorkshire Premier Division standard down to just above he local pub league and we've also gone through a recent bad patch. Carlsberg don't do Soldiers, but if they did, they would probably be Brits. http://www.pitchero....hornemarauders/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henage Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Its not easy dealing with local councils. People on the ground can see what needs doing and spending . Then you come up against the local council that cant organize a bun fight in a bakery . But can produce that much red tape it makes your eyes water .
