An empty clubhouse and changing rooms at Hull Cityâs former Centre for Excellence complex in County Road North are set to be demolished. The site in west Hull was used by the club until earlier this year when it moved its youth academy set-up to Bishop Burton College. Now the club has been granted planning approval by Hull City Council to demolish the buildings. In an application to the council, it said the move was necessary to reduce the risk of vandalism at the site. please log in to view this image The cleared site is expected to be grassed over in the short-term. In its application to the council, the club also said it had no immediate re-development plans for the land which lies opposite Cropton Park. The playing fields and clubhouse were bought during the regime of former City chairman Adam Pearson from Hull-based bathroom manufacturer Ideal Standard in 2005. Ideal Standard had owned the site since before the Second World War, using it as a recreation ground for staff and their families. http://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/Coun...tory-23039555-detail/story.html#ixzz3F52fRO2S
Yeah it's a shame just to demolish the buildings , surely it could be sold as is and put to good use ?
The only problem with that is that traffic on County Road at rush hour is a ****ing nightmare and a half, and boshing a housing development next to it would make it even worse. It's already total gridlock at five o'clock.
Aye get caught in it most nights. Got me eye on a shed on the site wonder if i can sneak on dismantle it and whip it away???
Get yourself a tranny pick up, put on some hi viz, hard hat and work boots drive in like you own the place and have it away.
Looking at how i wrote that, its all a bit sus. A tranny, whilst wearing what some would call kinky gear, driving in, and having it away. But you know what i meant.
The County Road will be designated by Sport England as a playing field area. The only way to get a planning application to develop the site would be by designating a similar area as substitute playing field. Anyone know where there might be a few acres available? Maybe Melton?
