Rusko187 Posted 29 November 2018 Share Posted 29 November 2018 Definitely activity going on down there, seen some contractors on top of the club house the other week and there's been increasing traffic. Going to take time but will be fantastic when it's done, especially deadline day... I've got my deck chair all ready to camp out (it's only a stones throw away for me). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urban.spaceman Posted 30 November 2018 Share Posted 30 November 2018 I hope they’ve got a few time lapse cameras and webcams set up so we can watch what’s going on. Didn’t they do that for the building of the KP?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, we did have the viewing platform on the other side of the road. We called it Freeman's Wharf then (still is). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

urban.spaceman Posted 4 December 2018 Share Posted 4 December 2018 Was out walking the dog the other day, got chatting to another walker about a footpath. Boring conversation. He said he was part of the Ramblers Association. I asked him about the bridleway that runs through the training ground site, which he was very familiar with. He was convince that they were applying to reroute it closer to the A46 to rejoin the rest of the path. He also said they’d be objecting to it on the grounds that it would “ruin the enjoyment of the footpath”, which he said was grounded in the law. He then said that they only want to move the path so that they can “protect their precious little players”, which I thought was hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you say runs through the training ground site is it nearer the perimeter or the middle ?? Do you know what route it takes ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few well placed volleys from the boys will soon have the ramblers looking for something else to complain about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I’d imagine we wouldn’t want any sort of access of the public to the site which is why they’ll want to move it.

KFS Posted 4 December 2018 Share Posted 4 December 2018 So, you’d play the first 4 holes and then have to drive over the other side to play the other 5? It’ll be a nice to have for the players but that just feels like cramming for the sake of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
