Andy Fitzsimons, the
Southall FC PR Manager/Club Secretary, has issued this
statement concerning the proposed development of the Glade Lane
site:
Following a Cabinet Committee meeting, in
public, on Tuesday evening at Ealing Town Hall, it was
decided by the relevant councillors that Southall Town FC should
be recommended for the 5.7 acre lease of Glade Lane.
The Councillors decided that Southall Town's financial bid was far
greater than that of Southall FC, despite the fact that Southall
Town FC only received 2 points more than Southall FC on their financial
viability within their respected proposal.
*Southall receiving 8/20, Southall Town 10/20 (still only 50%)
Given the grading for both parties on this matter, I feel it is
hardly a justifiable statement when the leader of the council John
Cudmore himself said:
"We the cabinet feel that Southall Town's bid (financial) is
far superior than that of Southall FC"
As a direct response to this, I would like to ask Mr Cudmore, how
2 points difference in the evaluation makes a bid far superior..?
What if you scored 5, would that be 'average'? What would be
said if you received full mark (20/20)..?
Southall FC were also marked down for the Community work and
involvement, receiving 12/20, with Southall Town gaining 14/20. To
this very day I would like to know how the cabinet members address
community work?
Southall for the past 5-6 months before the proposal was even
handed in, have been providing children at the Guru Nanak Sikh
School with coaching (free of charge) as part of their after
school activity. This is done on a weekly basis, and has
been extremely
successful.
I myself have already played a bid part in helping
Featherstone School look to try and obtain a £1.5 million lottery
grant, in addition to linking up with the school for future
development to help them with their own sporting activities, both
during school
hours and outside. Other local football clubs have also been
approached in the same matter.
Community work is actually about getting involved with the
community, aiding various events and organisations/schools.
So for a club which is not based within the community like ours,
we have already exceeded all expectations of a club at our
level.
The matter does not rest here I can assure you, and to our
supporters: I would like to thank you all for your support over
the years, and in respect of that I would like to point out that
this does not mean the end of Southall FC . Not by a long way!
The decision about Glade Lane has already hit the local
press. This is what the on-line newspaper This
is Ealing had to say about the matter.
March 25th
