Stafford Road Club (Cycling)


This year will see a major change for Stafford Road Club (Cycling), as of the 1st of February be based at, and ride from, Perkins Social Club.

For many years SRC have met and run events from Stafford Rugby Club but with their move to a new ground increased hire costs, and facilities that do not fully meet SRC needs, the committee have made the decision to move to Perkins, which offers the club better facilities and at a price that fits SRC's small annual budget. After discussion with Perkins and confirmation from their company this week that they are happy for Stafford Road Club to adopt Perkins Social Club as their new base.

Apologies for lack of input on here of late, January is a pretty busy time of year with my day job and given we’ve all got bills to pay, that’s where my focus has been.

I think this thread may well have run its course. I’ve tried to be constructive but I get that people will have and are more than welcome to have different views to mine.

The facts remain that we are here to stay, we are a community club and it’s an excellent facility that more and more groups, sports clubs, charities and businesses are utilising - that’s only going to increase.

The minority view is it’s in the wrong place, we’ve been round & round on that one and no one is saying the majority are correct and the minority are wrong but there is absolutely nothing we can do about it now other than work with our neighbours / relevant bodies to make things work.

As I am on here less, feel free to contact me directly on chairman@staffordrugby.com if you have any comments / questions / issues.

Cheers, Tim

Any news on the lighting report?

The one thing that could not have been foreseen in the scenarios of what was envisaged before this tragedy was unleashed upon us, was the noise pollution.

This tragedy is loud.

It is difficult to try and put this kind of impact into any kind of pre-emptory context because it will ipso facto only become obvious after the fact.

It assaults from so far away that it is an affront way before one even approaches it.

Don't believe for too long that this is over, Tim.

So, he announces on here that he will be helpfully answering questions for us plebs, then can't or won't. Evades more questions, then bleats about being treated badly. Then tells us he's too busy. You'd think a chairman would be able to explain things like the double planning application and million (ono) quid financing for one of the few sports that the council said had adequate facilities.

We can probably assume that the lights have been turned down.

Stafford Road Club should apply to put a new HQ somewhere else more suitable. Half way up Weston Bank, maybe?
