dyanmark Posted 13 November 2018 Share Posted 13 November 2018 Footy fans in blinkers -The golf club had 5-600 members and hundreds of visitors every month.I knew the owner,manager and many club members. My point was the football club could have found a home just about anywhere and the seagrave site is going to be very expensive to build with the contours but planning permission was relatively easy.Could have found a suitable site elsewhere but the previous use gave a serious advantage to planning approval.Thats all.

Seagrave is perfect and exactly what we're looking for thanks. Going to be building a first class training facility that will produce the best football players in the country. Much rather that than have some old blokes hitting small balls around, surely? Edited 14 November 2018 by AKCJ 8 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to be directing this at the Golf Club owners, no one forced them to sell either they didn't feel it was worth running the club or they preferred the bounty LCFC offered to their paying members. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But added to this. It's not just about us. They intend to let the women's side use it to develop that side of the game. We plan to have the best turf education facilities in Europe and local clubs such as sileby will benefit as well. We should be very proud of this and clearly the golf club wasn't that viable. Afterall despite the sale I'm told the members lost fees so I'd be more inclined to take Frank's pitch fork to the former owners. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wymsey Posted 13 November 2018 Share Posted 13 November 2018 The club refused Forest Hill Golf Club, after initial viewings, at the first opportunity of evaluation. The land was too tight and hilly to build such a plan on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You realise this is a business deal right? One where one person made an offer and the other accepted? This wasn’t a case of Wes Rocking up in his captain morgan outfit, going full pirate and turfing every last one of you out before claiming it as his own.

dyanmark Posted 15 November 2018 Share Posted 15 November 2018 Oh dear didn't expect that sort of abuse its pretty pathetic.I'm not Frank whoever he is. You lot have the footy blinkers on big time surely there is a bit more to life .LCFC could have picked a site anywhere in Leicestershire probably one that would have been a lot lot less cash to develop(parts of Park Hill are very undulating) and purchase but buying an existing golf club or sports club gets them half way to planning approval. Forest Hill was never going to happen however much cash they flashed because of covenants in the title on the land( I said that from the off because it was fact)The landowner at Park Hill was not the golf club operator and he saw his chance so end of the golf club.Thats jobs gone apart from anything else.If Leicester City council start closing down swimming pools in Beamont Leys or Braiunstone you would be kicking off big time but this is Ok because it will transform LCFC into a super club and its bunch of posh golfers .Golf these days at clubs like that is just regular working lads.Ive supported the football for 55 years thin and thin The club won the prem through a combination of factors including a manager and players at the top of their game and judjgng by events of the last two weelks club that was monumental New training ground will be great in a couple of years might help but my point was its a shame it had to involve closing the golf club. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
