"We have had three planning hearings, two Judicial Reviews, two referrals to the Secretary of State, an F.O.I request and now this court process."
Really? For a start, is it possible to make a FOI request to a rugby club, or did the club have to make an arduous FOI to someone else?

They may be confusing the Rugby Club with the Council's Leisure Committee - an easy mistake to make.

And welcome back to Stafford Forum, Mr SRUFC.

But the new development is going to be of a similar scale to the existing club, isn't it? At least that's what the club's planning application said, and which the Council tacitly accepted. This "variety of sports" might add quite a lot of traffic, mightn't it? Can you wonder that nearby residents are concerned?
Thanks Alphagamma, good to be back.
Resident - yes I certainly see your point but the Highways Dept didn't have an issue. Busiest days will be Sunday c10am -12pm as that's when the children play. Other than that I genuinely don't see there being the huge amounts of traffic people think.
I really don't see the need for nameless people being abusive on this forum.....the rugby club have not been master of our own destiny, we are just trying to secure the best facilities possible and the future of our club.
Why the need to call people twats & c*nts is beyond me.....

WoolmanT: 100% agree there is no need for anyone to be abusive. I find it an unnecessary hazard which gets in the way of people discussing issues in a way which leads to better understanding one with another.
As regards club traffic, I don't think the Council ever wanted to drill down too deeply and ask questions. They needed the club to get the site as much as the club did. They discounted inconvenient objections- their own Biodiversity Officer and Staffordshire Wildlife Trust.
Well, I hope you are right (I live on the estate) but I fear you are wrong.
Right now I would like to be a UKIP supporting Republican rugby enthusiast- I would be a good deal happier if I were! But as yet can't tick any of those boxes!

The only lasting legacy is the loss of beautiful ancient meadowland, badgers, mature trees, hedges and various other nature to the people of Stafford in exchange for traffic, floodlights, tarmac, chemicals for the grass and the whole area fenced off. As far as I'm concerned tw*ts and c*nts would not be strong enough words. I hope the whole area floods and the geese shit all over your disgusting destruction of an open peaceful space....and if the floodlights could get shot out weekly that would be ace!

But wasn't a huge increase in visits one of the club's supporting arguments to secure Sport England funding? How do all these people get to the pitches once the council helipad is full?

Well you are a rugby fan/player/club member/whatever, so you are well used to strong language. Yet when it's used in conjunction with criticism of this appalling decision and one of the key players involved you come across all prissy.
Give it a rest and grow a pair eh.
