James, all I can say is, it’s a massive site and what harm does it do to ask the question? How do we know they are not looking to do something with it? How do we know they won’t be under pressure in the future to provide more links with the community? They’ve developed every other area of the school.
You say a 1900 capacity ground, but we are basically talking about a tarmac area around a pitch, a few seats and floodlights.
I personally can’t fathom why we wouldn’t approach them. If we are turned away, that’s fine. You might plant a seed for the future though - I fail to understand why we would lose credibility by approaching different organisations, as long as it’s done professionally which of course it would be.
I’m personally surprised and disappointed by the attitude. I thought we would have been exploring every avenue, no matter how slim the chances. I’m now wondering what other potential opportunities we are just presuming are no-goers without actually exploring it. Maybe we have a different mind set but I don’t believe any line of enquiry is ‘wasting time’. One closed door might provide something else of interest. ‘We can’t help you but...’
Correct Kit. No harm in other avenues being explored, even if it’s just a very informal chat at first. We mustn’t get tunnel vision. After all, a home in Northwich is the goal isn’t it?
