surely not! Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Our budget is that big that we are losing players to albion rovers. Most guys in squad are working fulltime. Would be paying going rate for this level same as top 4 or 5 teams i would imagine. Cos they're an spfl side two leagues higher. Money isn't everything but you've by far the biggest budget in that league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surely not! Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 So you dont really know, and i dont really know, so lets just stick to making up anything we want.[emoji1] I know what it costs to try to sign some of those players based on their current wages and how much some of them are on. It's definitely the biggest budget on the league- especially considering they're all playing 'for the love of the town'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Judge Posted June 13, 2017 Author Share Posted June 13, 2017 http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/local-news/field-dreams-east-kilbride-community-10614791 East Kilbride Community Trust submit detailed plans for stadium, which could be operational by late 2018. A new community stadium in East Kilbride is a step closer this week after detailed plans were submitted to South Lanarkshire Council. East Kilbride Community Trust (EKCT) have lodged a blueprint for a phased 4000-seater development in Langlands which would see “The East Kilbride Community Stadium” operational by late 2018 and completed in its entirety by 2020. The first stage of the development would see a synthetic 4G football pitch laid in the first quarter of 2018 and phase two, the erection of a main stand with 2430 seats and perimeter fencing, is earmarked for completion in the fourth quarter of 2018. Following that, EKCT propose to build a South-West Stand with 780 seats by late 2019 and a North-East stand, also comprising approximately 780 seats, by the end of 2020. The stadium will play host to East Kilbride Football Club matches and other teams from the town, similar to the current operation at K-Park in Calderglen Country Park, which is also operated by EKCT. As well as catering for football, the stadium will house a gym, a boxing ring, sports hall, a function suite and office space. The function suite would be available for community use and private parties outwith matchdays, where it will be used as a corporate lounge. EKCT chief executive Monique McAdams, recently elected as a councillor to serve East Kilbride West, said: “Everyone at the trust is very excited about being able to finally submit this detailed planning application to South Lanarkshire Council after careful planning and design, which takes into account the different needs and abilities of the people that will be using it. “It’s a wonderful project that, once built, will be enjoyed by everyone in East Kilbride. “This project is so much more than just a place to watch or play football; it will house a boxing gym and an indoor multipurpose hall amongst other much needed community facilities. “This is a community-driven development which is very much wanted and needed as East Kilbride and its surrounding areas continue to grow. “There are another 2500 houses due to be built over the next five to 10 years which will further feed the population of East Kilbride, which currently stands at just over 80,000. “We look forward to this project coming to fruition as soon as possible for the benefit of the East Kilbride community”. In May last year the East Kilbride news ran a campaign urging South Lanarkshire Council to back outline planning proposals for the development after the local authority had clashed with EKCT over the plans in the preceding five years. EKCT were granted planning permission in principle with a number of conditions attached - including widening of existing rural roads near the site. In the trust’s detailed plans submitted this month, they state the approach to the site is from the north along Langlands Drive for both pedestrian and vehicular access. Beyond the junction with Hurlawcrook Road, the road will be widened to cater for a new access road into the north corner of site. Plans show pedestrian access to the site will be via a paved concourse. Youngsters from East Kilbride Football Club's additional support needs group celebrate with their families after South Lanarkshire Council approved outline planning for a new stadium in May last year Car parking will be provided around the perimeter of the stadium, with provision for 343 spaces, including 15 accessible spaces. There will also be 10 bays for coach parking and 44 cycle bays. A spokesman for EKCT said: “Up until now we have not heard any councillor’s voicing support for this community development. “We have found some council officials difficult to deal with. “The charity looks forward to a more positive approach with a new administration in place. “The councillors should be acting in the best interests of the East Kilbride people who so very recently voted them in.” Pauline Elliott, head of planning and economic development at the council, said: “This is a live planning application and the planning process must be dealt with in the correct manner. “Officers handle all applications in the appropriate manner and in this case have been keen to engage with the developer on planning and building standards issues to enable the planning decision to be made quickly and efficiently.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
