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.

Can't Bill answer for himself without you always defending him? You always pop up when somebody says any comment to Billy boy. I know you are 'close' mates... but....

Was Andy Capp formerly known as Iommi on here by any chance...? Just a thought

Bill can answer for himself, as he did. As for close mates, no we are not. I did see your post as being unreasonable though.

GMR and KMcC, I have no idea who Andy Capp on here is and although I haven't the time or inclination to check, I don't recall Andy Capp regularly "popping up" to defend me as GMR implied.

Andy Capp, thanks, I don't post as much as I used to on here, although I did start a couple of threads recently that seemed to be of interest.

Oh and GMR as you don't know me and I haven't given you permission to, please don't refer to me as "Billy boy", thank you.

I don't need your permission and as for the rest I don't really care. It doesn't take much to wind you up.... does it billy boy?

And by the way; you don't know me... but I know you.
