Re: Proposal on funds for the Old Spotted Dog Ground

Great to see this being discussed like this - thanks to finance for opening it up. A couple of questions: What does ‘allocation of funds’ mean? Is the proposal a request from OSDT for a donation/loan from CCFC? If so, is there anything the Trust can offer the club in return (if not repayment), e.g....

Re: Proposal on funds for the Old Spotted Dog Ground

In full support to allocate the funds and in view we should be self sustainable and not rely on Heineken or grants from elsewhere. If they come - great - but we should not count on it in my opinion. My questions are: - is 15-35k enough to get the ground and facilities up to the standard for both, t...

Re: Proposal on funds for the Old Spotted Dog Ground

It's a weird one isn't it? I don't have sympathy for McBean, but everything we've learnt has shown how hard it is/has been to make improvements to the ground, especially if Heineken haven't been contributing anything throughout the entire time. Obviously, Vince had a similar-ish windfall to our mer...

Here's the latest: https://www.claptoncfc.co.uk/2019/10/17 ... c-meeting/

Re: Question for Ground Maintenance committee - Wadham Lodge pitches

So, since I last replied saying we'd not actually had a cancellation as yet, we've had shedloads. I'm popping up again to cheekily put the question whether anyone's keeping score? Dulwich Hamlets Women's Reserves took an early lead but is there a league table tracking postponements, especially those...

Re: Question for Ground Maintenance committee - Wadham Lodge pitches

Hi Jack, It's a shame no-one else has chipped in here. Grounds Maintenance has its discussions on Whatsapp and I'm not on that, so far I've not heard if your comments have been noted. What I would say to this is that we've not yet had a home match cancelled. I'm certainly not saying "the first ...

Re: Question for Ground Maintenance committee - Wadham Lodge pitches

Me again too... I'll start but perhaps others from Grounds Maintenance will chip in, and I'll flag it up to the rest of the committee. My understanding is that as tenants we rely on Matchday Centres to maintain the pitches, and that we await confirmation from them on the day of the game that the pit...

Re: Women’s team physio?

Today's W1T game was I think the most physical we've seen yet. But if my recall is correct, at the AGM the proposal as negotiated between Club Development and the AFC Stoke Newington squad was that they'd agreed a budget thought to be sustainable, and that for the first year they'd be largely autono...

Re: Committees communication channel

Cross-Committee Channel? (can we do a better name?)
Cross-Committee Communication Panel (CCCP)?
