There is no 3G pitch at woodlands! Only in powerleague and that's all privately owned by them and has nothing to do with woodlandsTheir is a rumour going around on Facebook that Dave Bust and the SBITC have taken over the running of the 3g pitch at the former Woodlands School. The rumour is that they have put all the prices up and are limiting pitch times to the clubs that currently use it.
Do SISU have any involvement with the SBITC? It seems a bit stupid to alienate the very people that you would want to encourage as I thought Bustys boys were a charity?

Looks like it is bluecoats.
Costs have gone up to run it properly, they have put prices up because improvements need to be made. they have said let us know if this is ok otherwise you will lose your slot.
A bloke is kicking off saying he wont be held to ransom.
Bit of a non story I think.
Exactly mind you when the Highs do the Highs centre do the same will that alsoake sense?Makes perfect sense if the extra money needs to be raised to be able to be eligible for funding and to keep everything up to scratch.
If you did that Duffer where would the money to cover the shortfall come from?
We could always have a collection at a home game we've done it for others before

And what happens if that team folds at the end of the season? Or just decided to go elsewhere, there wouldn't be a legally binding contract in place to lock the team into the second season.If you did that Duffer where would the money to cover the shortfall come from?

This is like an inspired but obscure comedy on some random Sky channel that really should be mainstream. Bravo Hill :happy:Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

Fair play to you.Good evening all.
In the interest of openness and clarity we just thought we'd respond to one or two points that have been made.
In terms of timescales, we took over the contract to run the facility on 1st September this year, so it became our responsibility for bookings from that date - hence the slightly late notice. Whilst it wasn't ideal, all bookings prior to that date were/ could have been done through the school.
With regards to the suggestion on offering this particular team a discount, this would mean that one team were paying less money than everyone else - which obviously wouldn't be fair to those other clubs and teams. Part of our proposal to take on the facility included a full budget to cover contingency fund, staffing/ site supervision etc. so we have to make that budget balance. Unfortunately we can't have one price for one team and everyone else paying a higher rate. Similarly we aren't in a position to give everyone 12 months grace to budget for the new pricing structure, because it is estimated that the facility will need resurfacing in the next 5 years at a significant cost - which we will work with the school to cover.
All other teams that used the site have agreed without any issue to the new terms - including a number of teams from the same club.
We work very closely with this club and we are actually hosting one of their disability teams at the Oldham game on Saturday, where their players will form the guard of honour and do a demonstration on the pitch at half time. We will also be supporting the club by providing free coaching to support their volunteers on the disability side of the club during the 2016-17 season.
It is unfortunate from our point of view that this issue couldn't have been resolved more privately, and there is an open invitation from us to give more details around the terms of the facility grant to include a contingency budget and our pricing structure, with those who have raised their concerns.
I can't stand those Goals and Powerleague pitches. They suit players with good feet and quick responses, and I hate all those people.
Tbh, this was a point I made when higgs were trying to get us to pay for replacement equipment. I'd presumed that wear and tear would have been already been incorporated into the rental costsmExactly mind you when the Highs do the Highs centre do the same will that alsoake sense?
What, played up about the new pricing structure.I played up there Monday night and it was £70 for an hour for the bigger pitch at the back
