LongTimeLurker Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 6 hours ago, glensmad said: It seems odd that the name on the application is "The Blantyre Vics" and not from "Blantyre Victoria Football Club". Looks like they are only using that in their address though. The full name is in the documents OK. The main question I would have is how much space is being left for spectators. If I am understanding the drawings provided correctly where the enclosure is now will become a flat 2 metre wide pathway between a barrier and a perimeter fence. Hopefully this makes licensing possible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant Wilson Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 10 minutes ago, Ginaro said: But you'd think that if KRR were paying normal rates to rent the ground for Saturday games and/or training nights then the council would be happy to take their money while they decide on the lease? Or are one or both parties not speaking to each other about using it while the lease is still being sorted? It won't be normal rates for game days as there's a bit more involved than a casual booking. I expect it'll be about primacy of long term bookings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mediocre Pundit Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Assume still no update on Rob Roy’s ground situation? At least we’re approaching another election season where politicians can hold a banner and pretend they care for five minutes to get some votes. Not that it will make any difference as soon as the polls close… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMP28 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Johnstone Burgh plans for Keanie park announced, https://www.johnstoneburghfc.com/news/johnstone-burgh-announce-exciting-redevelopment-plans-for-keanie-park Looks good, no indication on timescales etc but better putting their money on infrastructure than players, also assume would get them a licence and into the big SC. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnstonian Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Park must have been sold to get this going. Potentially huge news and genuinely well done to those at the club who’ve invested so much in this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMP28 Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Missed this a few weeks ago but nice to see clubs doing little improvements to grounds. Really simple cover but sure will be well used. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthurlie1981 Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Great news for KRR. glad to see their exile end. I wonder if they are allowed to make money from the tea bar etc on match days as it is run by the charity. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Work starts at Petershill Park next week to widen the pitch and upgrade the floodlights. The lights will be 800 lux, which is SFA Gold licence standard. Glasgow City are footing the majority of the bill. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably means that normal people will then be forced to have to stand on the shite side with the terrible seats rather than the good side at the tenements. What happens if (when) Glasgow City, the ladies, the various other teams, and Thistle just tell Peasie tae GTF ? Is there definite security of tenure? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
