Please read the STV story regarding the Budhill Park application. As we highlighted before a local councillor "James Coleman" has raised an objection, this is very surprising as he wants it for community use ? but we are the community.
He claims that the park has been earmarked for development ?
but other councillors or Glasgow city Council do not know anything about this ?
He says the club were informed ?
we have neve been contacted by him or his staff ?
He says we can use another facility ?
Their is no other facility in the area where our players live ?
Their is also a safety issues using a park further away, we have decided to fight as we want the use of a park in the clubs/Players area.
Please read the story and e-mail in your e-mail of support using the details below.
