Springies developments are good...

[northendmanc]

Not to defend the indefensible about Ingol, having looked carefully at the Springfields plans I think we should be getting behind this...

Aside from the office blocks these changes will mean the team have:
- a proper media suite which the team also use to understand tactics
- more space for physio treatment
- better and bigger facilities for recovery (more ice bath, cryo treatment, hydro treatment)
- space for the coaches and assistants to work off the pitches
- space for analysts to work, key to understanding opposition
- massive improvements to space and facilities for first team, coaches and other staff (changing rooms bigger, dining area bigger, toilets, showers etc etc)
- not to mention less embarrassing facilities for visitors for bounce games etc

Yes it’s crap they lied to us about Ingol but we should get behind this as it’ll make a massive difference!

Naaa, let em do it without our help.

A bit of a naive question on my part.... Do Springfields FC not have any access to the facilities anymore ie: Are they solely owned by North End ??

I agree with you there. But let’s not complain 🙂

 

[donaldtpne]

Not bothered what Hemmings does anymore, I'll just keep supporting the team with Mrs B if we can afford it.

I've already objected to the application - as anyone is free to do here: comment on planning application reference 06/2020/0149

You're probably right, but even when the new training ground was planned, it was still a long time in the future and you could argue these halfway-house improvements should have been done anyway. A stepping stone.

3 years (or whatever it was supposed to be) from the original planning, is a lifetime in manager and player careers. A whole cycle of personnel have come & gone in that time.

How about a (branded) poop scoop for spectating on the Guild Wheel path?

Why would you do that?

Why would you do that?

Here's why.

what have you objected to on the application?

edit: just seen your above post, I think you are confusing planning laws and social media

whilst im steaming about the Ingol debacle I really dont understand why, unless you live very close, anyone would object to these improvements.

Thanks for your feedback.

 

[jakehake]

Thanks for your feedback.

just pointing out that unless you’ve objected to the application on a matter of planning law then you’ve wasted your own time and that if the council. If you’ve a beef with Hemmings and his methods your ire and effort would have been better directed at him and his employees in your communications

Yeah, I heard you (and thanked you) the first time.

Every one of your excellent suggestions could be provided in, let’s say, a dedicated training environment, purpose built, perhaps somewhere local. Built by now if only someone had had the foresight to suggest such a project.

To quote you “Springies developments are good...” but they were already proposed as part of the Ingol project at outset.

We’re behind time in all aspects, with a cheesed off fanbase just waiting to see how the season pans out & the management & player situation next pre-season if, god forbid, we don’t get promoted.

Always 100% behind AN and players, they, like us, will have to “like it or lump it” with regards whatever developments that are actually put in place at Springfields. In either of their places, would you be in the “like it” camp?

Agree with you entirely that Springfields should be developed and hope for positive benefits if you’ve seen and recommend the plans. Just think the target audience is totally at the wrong level.

They wouldn't be building and investing in this sort of stuff if the first team were moving out anyway in a few years. I think it's bollocks that this is an 'interim' solution. Imho it's just an alternative to Ingol.

And remember, the locals did last time (including my in laws 😱) and blocked it.

A bit of a naive question on my part.... Do Springfields FC not have any access to the facilities anymore ie: Are they solely owned by North End ??

I'm guessing they are owned by pne,I used to play for Springfields when we would train and play at the training ground,when we finished the under 16 season and went into the youth division our home games moved to ashton park,this would have been around 2003ish

North end bought it many years ago. Springfields folded a short while later.
