Victoria Park, Extending well used facilities... Options

[On the edge]

Walking through Victoria Park lunch time was impressed by the number of people enjoying all the facilities. Including the new bike thing - where they were actually queueing! Really great - we're clearly getting something right in Newbury. There has been a fair debate about building a pavilion on one edge (I'll say now, I'm neither for or against) which would necessarily remove some of the park.

However, passing under the bridge, it struck me that it wouldn't take too much to replace the moribund football club with a new purpose built 'mini stadium' Simply a crescent with a few terraces where seating could be installed - and games / open air shows etc (including football) could be put on. The Pavilion could then be sited under the terracing.

This would help extend Victoria Park and give us a new multi purpose open air facility as well as the pavilion.

Something a little different - for little more than the pavilion cost! Just a thought.

On the edge I agree with your comments about building a new purpose built football pitch. We should ask ourselves whether we want a new modern Newbury or make do with what we have got. With a new shopping mall being built in the town centre and extra housing near the race course (I believe) I think we should be proud of our town and look at other areas that probably need refurbishing in and around Newbury. A good post On the edge.


It is a pity others used this thread to play games and settle old scores. GMR started it off with his pointless “comments” about councils and “thoughts“. If that was not bad enough people like Billy1, somebody who actually works for the council, coming in with pointless comments such as “all this is doing is feeding you desire to divert a thread into the realms of pointless drivel” and doing exactly the same with his own “pointless drivel”. Then the Iommi activates’ his other names (Andy Capp and Rusty Bullet) to jump in and add his own brand of drivel while attacking GMR. No doubt GMR will respond to create an ever ending cycle of drivel. If people find certain comments unhelpful or “drivel” you do not add you own drivel to pour fuel on to the fire. Of course it was not just those that I mentioned that helped to contribute to the destruction of this thread but the ones I mentioned are the worse offenders on this forum.

I do not know what Iommi does and have only read what GMR has done, or supposed to have done (Parish council, according to Bill1) but I do know that Billy1 and User23 work for the WBC and Billy1’s behaviour questions the ability of that council to employ well adjusted and competent people.

I hope others read this forum and see how petty people can be. Grow up or find a forum that caters for such mentality. Let us get back to the main topic please.

What a load of pious rubbish. If the conduct of certain people irritated you, what are you doing posting this waffle? Why don't you take a leaf out you own book and stow it?

GMR made rude comments about people and those people are entitled reply. We have all realised what a plonker GMR is, and have all shut up, now you throw your 2p in again and have stirred it up again.

"If people find certain comments unhelpful or “drivel” you do not add you own drivel to pour fuel on to the fire."

What a hypocrite you are.


PS...... Rusty Bullet and Andy Capp are nothing to do with me, other than I know who Andy Capp is in person. I haven't the foggiest who Rusty Bullet is.

That I do not believe. Not only do you write identically but you all have the same temper etc. My sister who studies writing and often reads posts on here (even though she is not a member; has not got a name on here) said, when reading your posts, that you are the same. I also drew that conclusion along with others on here. Pull the other one Iommi/ Andy Capp/ Rusty Bullet.

I will leave you to it. You do have a point though. By continuing will only make me as bad as you. Bye! You Billy1, GMR and a few others deserve each other.

You are right there.

You Billy1, GMR and a few others deserve each other.

Next time you see him, tell GMR he should fight his own battles.
