YOUR CLUB NEEDS YOU....... to give up a couple of hours to be in the public gallery at this meeting of the Overview and Scrutinuies Group Committee on tuesday 5th May at 7pm at the Civic Centre
This will show your support for the Branksome Rec project-this should be a critical meeting and could pave the way for the green light to be given for the project to proceed .....subject to planning and funding of course
please be there

there may be tickets in which case I will make it known but even if there are there will still be spaces for people without tickets and if we have loads of supporters outside who can't get in all withPTFC scarves hats etc how impressive will that be!!

Can I suggest that all PTFC supporters who live in the Borough write personal letters to the committee members with a copy to their local Councilors expressing their feelings on the matter? Letters to the councilors will have an impact and you should all have a go at it. If possible make sure they are from you personally rather than some reproduced campaign letter, it all adds weight and makes the logic of your case harder to ignore.
ECHO letters on 23.4.09 need responding to, as I am sure you all know.
The FACT that your club has committed to involving the youth of Branksome in the whole project needs emphasizing. Where do the kids of the area get the chance to enjoy and be part of a club and team game/structure that meats the needs for all abilities? This will also be regulated activity, child protection friendly, offer fitness, healthy lifestyles, personal and physical development all of which meet the needs of the national "Every Child Matters" strategy - make it work in your favor.
Sorry I have not the time to help but happy to advise if of use.
There is a woeful lack of this in the area and what PTFC will bring (I think I am right here?) is football, fitness, fun and community involvement to a community. The fact that the "antis" all appear to be over the age where you want your kids to be involved in constructive activities needs making? You have a very powerful case which needs a wider audience, perhaps even a Town Crier to shout your odds?

Everybody, the club needs everybody with them now like never, the future of the club is at stake now. Most of you will have had a flyer from me last night. If you can't make the meeting, write to the Echo, your Councillor, even our MP. BUT DO SOMETHING!!!!!!!!! COYD

I went on the Poole Council site yesterday, clicked on 'C' and then on 'Councillors' and got all the names and contact details of all 42 Poole Town councillors. It even gives a little potted biography of each one together with political affliation.
Most have in common agedness and being men and one is an ex international referee who supports 'the Town'!
Ther are 23 Cons, 17 Lib-Dems and 2 Independents.
I have written again to all of them to explain briefly why PTFC can't progress at Tatnam, to point out the advantages to Poole of a successful football team, and to appeal for their support for the Branksome community regeneration scheme.
I even enclosed a copy of the NLP item.
Posted them all this morning.

The FACT that your club has committed to involving the youth of Branksome in the whole project needs emphasizing. Where do the kids of the area get the chance to enjoy and be part of a club and team game/structure that meats the needs for all abilities? There is a woeful lack of this in the area and what PTFC will bring (I think I am right here?) is football, fitness, fun and community involvement to a community. not meaning to start an arguement but im sure this will. how does PTFC expect people from branksome whose kids play for the other youth football teams in the area that play on the rec understand that you will be taking away two pitches from the rec. i seriously cant see PTFC letting another under12's youth team use the pitch on a sunday. i have been to the rec several times this season and all the pitches are being used and not just by one team but several of the youth teams in the area use the pitches on the rec. i can and do understand why you need and will have to move but surely you can undertand my concerns on this matter. but i think your point about kids youth football in the area is a bit missguided and you are obviously never been to the rec on a sunday to see all the teams playing there. from branksome united/hamworthy/parkstone heights you might even use the pitches yourself and a few more all youth football clubs that use the rec pitches. i think you should try and build your ground on baiter and kick off all the kitesurfers ;D ;D lol. |

;D Being a local lad, I have also been to the Wreck this season on a Sunday morning to watch Branksome Railway v Wallisdown Lib. This game was played on the pitch nearest the playground and running parallel with Recreation Road
The pitch nearest the pavillion was in use, the pitch nearest the steps leading up to the top of Playfields Drive at the junction with Wharfdale Road was not, that is even if there was a pitch there. From what I can remember from my mis-spent youth, probably from the ages of 10-25 the pitch at the Step End as we liked to call it, was the boggiest of the whole Wreck and the one that got the least use
This is the area that they are calling the best area of the Wreck, the safe area of the Wreck
What it probably needed was a decent slope to drain all the water away;)

I am heavily involved in a local Youth Football Club within the Branksome/Parkstone area. We as a club invite all boys & girls to join our club to enjoy playing Football . We use Branksome Rec on a regular basis on a Sunday. Our Club has been voted Charter Standard Club of the season for the whole of Dorset and now progress to the regional stage.
How can you say "There is a woeful lack of this in the area" . We as a club firmly believe that if PTFC get there wish to move to Branksome Rec no other Youth Football Club within the area will have the option to use any pitch at Branksome Rec.

ther is absolutely no question of existing users of the rec being frozen out--where on earth did that idea spring from????even if we wanted to do that-which would be crazy -the council would not let us-why do people always assume the worst??what will happen is that existing users will have access to proper facilities to enable them to make the most of their sport and leisure time-thats why their is so much support for our plans-there is no way wer would get support if we intended to keep the rec exclusively for our own teams

Have no problem with the relocation of Poole Town. Think it will be good for Branksome Rec which is in dire need of improved facilities for everyone to use. Towncrier's comment regarding a woeful lack of opportunties for kids to play Football was quite offensive. There are opportunties for kids to play our game in the area and we welcome your comments chrisreeves.

A Poole Town 'rec' protester me thinks? Best to just ignore both of these log ins as there is something fishy here me thinks and not just the Dolphin on Saturday at 'Foresters'! |

I know who you are! and surely Branksome is a suburb of POOLE! As you now log on to the website perhaps you will come to some games as you can find them on our fixtures page and therefore there is no need to rely on a 'Nice big sign'  I gather night shift was quite quiet. ;D ;D |

Get the feeling misinformation is being put about by the usual suspects. The whole point of the proposal is that it is for the all of the community to have better facilities, especially the youth.

Only the addition of one walled pitch, the rest of the Wreck will be as is apart from improvements |

Yes 1 walled pitch takes away the use of that pitch by the steps for all teams, thus reducing the availability. I get the message you are sending out does not need any words.  |

It is essential we turn out in numbers again for a colourful display of support. We do not have a game, but this is a MUST WIN MATCH.
Flag Day on Tuesday night. The RWA flag will be there.
COYD, let's show the town what great supporters we are and how proud we are to have a club like PTFC.

You will still be able to use the other 3/4 of the Wreck without paying. Can't believe you've regged just to say that, have you any idea of the benefits of the scheme. You do realise of course that all the existing footy teams that play in leagues and use pitches at the Wreck DO HAVE TO PAY TO USE THEM so they are not free Please come back when you know what you are talking about;) |

I stand by what I say, it should be an open space for everyone to use, as in the whole site not just three quarters! It would seem that Tuesdays meeting is just a political exercise now, as the voting council members have been changed, to a majority of council members in favor of Poole town FC. I wonder if anybody else is gaining from this apart from Poole town FC? certainly not those that use the rec reguarly! Makes you think. LOL. |
