Peterborough Sports Redevelopment

[tommyc]

I am currently trying to pull together the various grant applications for the development of PSL and need to have tied down who we are going to use for the various aspects (Stand, Floodlights, Pitch Barrier, Walkway & Changing Rooms).

Given the diversity of requirements it is likely that I will need to split this out into separate contracts for each element.

Whilst comfortable that I have most covered I would be interested to hear from anyone who might have people / builders who would be interested in building the 2 x 18 square metre changing rooms and concrete base for the stand(s)?

Tommy, good to hear you have most covered.
have you spoken to Kirsty or Lee at Northants FA, a couple of new funding streams have been made available

[lineoh]

Ian
any going through the Lincs FA?

[tommyc]

Thanks Ian - have been liaising closely with Alan Poulain at Hunts FA who Northants referred us to. Currently have applied for the following: -

Places People Play - Sport England
WREN
Biffaward
Bernard Sunley
Sported
Football Foundation - Stadia Improvement
National Sports Centre Trust Scheme
Aviva Community Fund

Have also been made aware that Sport Match from Sport England has just re-opened

Anyone aware of any we might be missing?

Obviously having £100k to put into Project ourselves helps, but taking nothing for granted! (pardon the pun!)

you have been busy, Good news at London Road

maybe SITA and Cash for Clubs could help, Shared access is a new scheme that was announced at Wembley last week

Kirsty Frior is the lady who knows more about these, at Northants FA, she has also been tweeting about funding opportunities, I have followed her on the utdcos feed, so follow us and you will see them

[tommyc]

Thanks again Ian (Lincoln Road though mate!)

Shared Access looks really interesting for any club out there whose lights are coming to the end of the their life, though after completing the application looks like they will be wanting to possibly put a mobile phone mast up at successful applicants?

(Note - had to find out our Land Registry Folio Number - amazing how each application has its little unusual bit of info you need to dig around for!)

To apply for SITA your local authority needs to have applied for field to be designated as protected with QE2 scheme which none in Peterborough are - have given them a nudge!

Cash 4 Clubs only seems to up to £1k so a bit of a last resort one!!

[tommyc]

FYI - 2 of our friendlies for next season involving UCL sides are Sileby at home on Saturday July 21st and Bourne Town away on Monday July 30th.

[lineoh]

Bourne Town away on a Monday ? you sure ?

[tommyc]

Yes

[tommyc]

Add Thrapston Town on Thursday August 2nd at Peterborough Sports at 7pm

[lineoh]

No game has been advised or confirmed for July 30th

[tommyc]

Just to confirm that Peterborough Sports Parkway have applied to move to Step 6 next season.

As part of this we are looking for additional sponsorship at our ground at Lincoln Road, including Advertising Boards at £250 for 3 seasons plus the cost of the 3m x 1m Rigid PVC Board.

If anyone is interested in supporting the club in this way or maybe looking for a pre-season friendly please get in touch

Cheers
