Christ, you guys have had it rough. I remember the Reynolds arena when that was built back in the early 00’s. What a white elephant that turned out to be
How are you doing with funding the new ground ? I’ve just had a look at Blackwell Meadows and that is nowhere near adequate.
It’s a shame the Darlo game is a Tuesday, you were the only club I’d have expected to bring 1000+ this year.
Enjoy it anyway, Fingers crossed both our fortunes can be reversed at some point in the near future
I think we all hated the Arena, was way too big for us and was never going to be sustainable. Was only a matter of time before shit hit the fan. Far too expensive to run.
Funding wise, we’ve not started much of it yet as we are waiting for plans to be announced and council to approve a plot of land (The idea is the same as everyone elses really. Get a plastic pitch to rent out 7 days a week, have shops etc built closeby to).
Yeah BM isn’t the best to be honest, I volunteer for the club and we had our 1st pre-season game on Saturday and the place was a shit heap, Rugby Club hadn’t done any general maintainence over the summer – So we had to clean all that up before the game. Ridiculous.
Yeah, if it was a Saturday we’d have easily brought over 1,000 – We tend to have a solid away following despite some of the distances in this “regional league”.
