Has it closed for good?

If it has its a shame, it struck me as been a really integral part of the club bringing a new generation of fans in, fans who might otherwise not have bothered with us.

Anyone know for sure or am I reading it wrong and it'll reopen after the refit?

[The President]

I'm afraid it has closed for good.

[noughtyforties]

Thats a shame, I thought it brought a lot of positive publicity to the club and more importantly provided another link between the club and the community. I know of a few people who's kids attended and they thought it was a first class facility.

Is it a victim of funding cuts?

And why didn't the club announce its closure, or did I miss it, I will admit I don't read the O/S very often.

[Gus]

The closure is down to the withdrawal of Government funding and nothing to do with the club as far as finances go.

[noughtyforties]

No, I knew the club weren't financially involved, I imagined it would be central government funding cuts.

I just wondered why all the hush hush secrecy thats all, its not as if anyone at the club is to blame for policy decisions taken in Whitehall!!!

[Mr Tickle]

It was announced at the recent end of season dinner and at the sponsors evening, if my memory serves me correctly.

Government funding for learning and skills is a difficult thing to get a hold of at the moment :-(
