More to life than LCFC Who's abusing now, Me get a life you're the one harping on about this on this forum where we have no influence on the decision so I'm not really sure why you're intent on continuing with it on here. Sure it was a shame the golf club is lost but there's nothing we did or can do to affect that, I've seen loads of stuff like this, school playing fields, swimming baths, cycle track etc, etc lost but you have to move on once the decisions been made. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. If it wasn't this site, it would have been somewhere else that resulted in closure and loss of jobs too. It's a shame for anyone to lose their job but that's business. Someone agreed to sell the land to the club so take up any grievances with them if you feel that passionately about it. On the flip side, the new development creates many more jobs and opportunities in various different fields. So as one door closes another door opens. As for the members, just join another club. It would be the same if the council started closing down swimming baths (your example above). You would just move to a different one. Unsure why you keep talking about people getting a life, when you are on a Leicester City FC forum whinging about the new training facilities being built on the site of a pissing golf club. Go find a field, smash a few golf balls and de-stress - 'there's a bit more to life.' 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didnt complain when we lost Granby Halls, Baileys, Tesco in Lee Circle, Lewis's, Co-op superstore, and many more places and deffo not complaining about losing a littie used golf club, This complex will be one of if not THE best in Europe, To have that in our county for our football club to better itself will do for me, so stick your putter, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyanmark Posted 15 November 2018 Share Posted 15 November 2018 If you half wits look back I said its sad that the golf course had to close. Because that's slightly off party line I get a bunch of on line abuse.Had some good nights in Baileys,My dad worked in the engineering shop next to Tesco.And Lewiss to get warm after leaving the lambretta round the back. Willie it wasn't a little used golf club at all /I'm no less a City fan than any of you I just play a little golf as well and disappointed it has gone along with a 20 plus year past.history. Ill be at the next home game. Looking forward a bit I'm feeling we will be 10-12 this year and this place will be happily debating the manager/vardy/players as per usual, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. I wouldn’t blame the football club as the end looked near anyway i’m no expert in financial records but it seems the golf club was heavily in debt and was operating at a loss every year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoyleFox Posted 15 November 2018 Share Posted 15 November 2018 The being nice and respectful to each other has lasted well.... There was land for sale, we bought it, we'll have a fabulous training facility. For what it's worth, Woolies closing was much worse. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
