Of course we didn't have one already, otherwise they wouldn't have taken over the Airco in the first place. I said using a bubble pitch was always an option available to the club and having it at Bishop Burton was the always the best option, as it's where the Academy is based (an hour round trip to get from the Academy to their own indoor pitch, was always a daft proposition). It's taken them four years to figure this out themselves, still, better late than never.
Not a time frame thing No council can confirm planning will be permitted...anywhere...ever If they spent even a tiny proportion of the money they do on lawyers finding out useful stuff they’d know that
When did they apply for the bubble pitch at BB? How long do you think. It will take? We needed it for the academy upgrade Crucial in our development of young talent
When did they start thinking about the academy upgrade and the need for a bubble pitch? That’s the salient question. To which the answer is too late. Whether that oversight was wilful or cock-up I don’t know.
Depends how many people they have blowing it up. And you can't be asking the students to do it or you'll never get the smell of White Lightning and Pot Noodles out.
I would say it was down to lack of forward planning and thinking they can do things their way without the constraints everyone else has to face.
Or as city man says they don’t actually spend every waking hour thinking about city!? I do hope there will be the same protests about the council turfing a load of youth footballers out of a facility in west hull and they’ve not righted that wrong yet??
So, it was the responsibility of the SMC? "Nobody tells me how to run my Arena" "Best run Arena in the country"
There are events held at the Airco, I went to see my young nephew do his thing at a parkour display there about 18 months ago.
They've taken their time applying for planning permission, when the fee for Josh Tymon was eventually agreed Ehab wouldn't say how much it was but did say it would pay for the new bubble pitch. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
