Dr.Pepper Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 This was just uploaded in the last few minutes by the clubs official youtube channel. Does not have any details in the description bar on youtube. Maybe a new purpose built training ground for us or just a lease. Whatever it is, looks good anyhow. Anyone else wiser than me on this subject? Edit - More Details Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well Well Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Wow, that looks really impressive. Muirhouse though, will get tanned rotten..!! Although was that an MFC badge on the club house?, so maybe new training facilities indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goggles & Flippers Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Fantastic, I always thought this sort of thing would have ended up at Ravenscraig though. Only criticism is surely it could be arranged so the grandstand isn't behind a goal but rather orientated along the long side of the pitch? Means a wee bit of rejigging but longterm I'd think it would make more sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelboy Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 would these be astro or the two existing grass parks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelman1991 Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Second link in first post - looks like a 3G and grass pitches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daver Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 A small number of residents were complaining on the Facebook page about loss of access and the lighting. What's there at the moment? I don't know the area - is it old pitches that aren't well maintained? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

makaveli Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 good geographical location to Firpark as well if you are walking you can down past our ladies (maybe further into the estate towards the house) and its more or less a straight path along from there.

Additional lighting and access didn't stop the construction at the new Daisy Park facility (probably helped, the Earl Haigs securing a new school as part of the deal mind) and lighting didn't stop Braidhurst being refurbished alongside those Airth Court penthouses either. Interested in the stance of our local council given their ownership of a white elephant facility around a mile or so away... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will probably be making some sort of money out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 There are 2 public meetings taking place to discuss this, one on Thursday evening, and one next week I think. They are part of a formal planning application process know as a Pre Application Consultation. The information is listed on the North Lanarkshire Council website under planning applications. Reference is 14/00986/PAN. The next stage will be the submission of a formal planning application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
