Dome Damaged In The Storm


div

Recommended Posts

Wishaw sports centre cost millions to build all out of the public purse. It also subsidised from the public purse

 

The dome pays rates back into the public purse

Yep it did and it benefits the community. Swimming, athletics, football, tennis, and all forms of martial arts as well as a large range of keep fit classes, boxing, a crèche, and two gyms proves it's eclectic nature. We've seen electoral counts there, public evacuations to there and despite its age and woefully low maintenance budgets it still operates in all weather.

Would you evacuate anyone to the dome?

I wonder how many domes could be installed across the country if the Tories hadn't spunked all the tax payers money on PCC's and not knowing that you have to build aircraft carriers that can actually accomodate aircraft.

Oh FFS. Everyone knows the f**ked up order for carriers was put in place by Gordon Brown's government. Well OK everyone with a modicum of nous. :rolleyes:

The carrier order was placed by Gordon Brown - you said

I love it when your most feeble attempts at deflection just make you look an even fatter tit than usualclap.gifclap.gifclap.gif

for the benefit of anyone tuning in from the planet Zog who doesn't already know how wasteful the Tories are let me enlighten you.

The order for carriers was placed by previous govt to take the planes that were being ordered....

The tories decided it would be cheaper to change the spec for the carriers (whilst they were being built) to take a different type of aircraft because they thought they would get it cheaper...

They were forced into a humilating and excrutiating u-turn costing at least £50m, as their plan would turn out to be tens of millions more expensive, and prove almost inoperable for the aircraft ordered ...

we now have no fixed wing carrier option to protect our interests for decades to come... yes thats right we will have aircraft carriers.... but not aircraft to fly from them.....

Only a very stupid fellow would attempt to defend such shocking disregard for the nation's security and purse strings..... fortunately we have one in residence folksbye1.gif

Think that says a lot, Stuart. You take you're club to a facility that was created on the back of massive, industrial decline, with £30 million of funding from lottery, sports bodies, and other funding sources, which all originate from the same source, the good people of this country. It then operates within an organisation which receives grant funding from the scottish government, the UK government, and on the generosity of the British Taxpayer once again.

You ridicule the receipt of a £50k grant towards the dome to provide a decent, dry facility for players, kids, community groups to use, agreed at fairly steep prices, but I am sure that the pricing structure is based on a fairly quick financial recovery for a facility which has a limited life.

Value for money on job creation and long term maintenance costs, I reckon the dome is a lot slicker investment. All I can say to you is, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing!

And the tories are not happy at spunking £40million plus on Non aircraft- aircraft carriers....

Now they've written off £40million plus on the computing costs for Universal Credit.... a flagship tory policy that they claimed would save us billions..!

Instead of 4.5million users by 2015-16 they'll struggle to have anything near four hundred thousand....

and they now advise they will writedown a further £90million of costs before it's even implemented. FFS

On Thursday evening - on the day this all happened - Wishaw Wycombe had a training session on a 3g 7-a-side pitch at Wishaw Sports Centre. The session cost £15 per hour, the facility was open and 19 lads enjoyed the health benefits of a good work out.

Meanwhile in Paisley any team renting the dome for £70 per hour were denied the same health benefits cause the balloon couldn't cope with Scottish weather.

Brilliant news, brilliant news indeed.

Good to see this wonderful facility that our wonderful club has helped provide to our local community to be back up and running. The news really has pleased me, pleased me indeed.
