Northside would be much worse. Oldside (Northside) was one of the sites evaluated for the New Stadium, badly marked down on user attractiveness and regeneration value for this purpose. The biggest issue with the training track site is security, hidden away in the trees in a secluded location leaves it open to theft and vandalism from which it has historically suffered. Would need top security fence and plenty of razor wire for sure. Would be better if it was more out in the open in close proximity to a frequently used road. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A stunning beach situated a stones throw from the track. No venue could replicate that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelShoe Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 A group recently occupied a site by Workington harbour side which has planning permission for houses. The rubbish they left behind was disgraceful and included multiple empty gas cylinders, garden waste /tree cuttings, multiple burst black bags containing all sorts of waste debris, building waste and a large tyre. They just seem immune to prosecution. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazc Posted June 14, 2019 Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 I'm at a loss as to what this thread is all about now , what we are getting is in no particular order. Dirt being dug up. Grass seeds being planted. Same grass seeds being washed away. Grass seeds planted again Camber on pitch (wtf). Heavy plant missing Heavy plant not missing. Heavy plant missing again. Lights taken down Electrical wiring removed (but not all). As sad as it is Workington are now no more so i can't see the point off this thread anymore. A running commentary on goings on at Derwent Park is of little interest to most. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
