East Dunbartonshire Council have a dark culture of secrecy as well as being mendacious and sleekit. I have no idea why it's taken so long - the (rubbish and secretive) cooncil website still says the ground is 'expected' to be ready in October 2022. Granted the club have been innocents abroad over these past ten years but even if The Roy get the lease, if I see any smug councillors wearing brand new scarves posing for press pics at the first match, I may not be responsible for my actions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pareidolia Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 Chronic lurker and closet KRR fan here - latest public info I can find is "The Kirkintilloch Community Sports Complex is now substantially complete. A final section of the works to finalise the bund arrangements on the site will continue during Spring 2023 though this will have no bearing on the operation or occupancy of the remainder of the site." (March 2023 on the council website) I'm under the impression that there's an NDA (which is not uncommon when there's multiple stakeholders involved) though I cant substantiate this. Looking forward to making attendance part of my weekly routine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This all do for now. Leaving aside my wee digs at blazers* the KRR stadium story is a complete farce that's ran on for years. Hopefully it ends soon. Also the Crownpoint Sports Centre saga should also be sorted out by the start of next season. Either Finnart Star or Clyde will be playing there. That one in particular could be a real goer if the teams who wins the gig can get on field success especially with it being within walking distance of Glasgow city centre. * never knew the LL chairman worked for the Sun newspaper. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RR will get no special treatment. Maxi knows all the crap that they had to put up with from EDC. The time and effort that man put in for no reward was heartbreaking at times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you brother. Have no time for the tie and blazer types, always at the forefront for photo ops and the like. Is it tonight Clyde are having a meeting there? Not been there for a few years so can't recall the layout. Will it work having a footie stadium with the running track? And is there enough parking and facilities for multi events. He writes freelance for them does he not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly not - though being brutally honest I don't think this saga resonates with many locally, partly due to demographics, partly historically underutilised community engagement by the club, partly the fact that they've been away for many years. On the other hand I do think that if KRR return, they have a better opportunity to develop a fan community than they did at Adamslie Park. I wouldn't be averse to KRR and Glasgow City/other being co-tenants though you'd think a SWPL team would want to be in a more central location given their stage of football development. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pareidolia Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 "...Kirkintilloch Community Sports Complex where all works are now substantially complete and handover is due in May 2023." I guess its imminent. Rumours are that KRR are returning to Kirky. Interestingly KRR (or at least whoever runs their FB page) have said in a comment "Decision was made back in December but no official announcement has been made yet until contracts are in place", which would be a strange thing to say if they weren't successful, I speculate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
