Altrincham FC First Team / GUISELEY AFC
« on: January 26, 2016, 07:42:46 PM »
GUISELEY AFC could be in danger of relegation after being forced to stop work to bring their ground up to scratch for the Vanarama National League.
The club, who are carrying out a major upgrade, have been forced to call a halt to work after Leeds City Council posted a 'stop notice' at the ground, amid concerns about protected trees.
Now talks are being held to try to resolve the problems before a ground grading at the end of March. The club have to reach a minimum A grade to be accepted for next season regardless of where it finishes in the league.
Today Guiseley AFC said: "The club can confirm the posting of a stop work notice at Nethermoor in relation to the ground improvements required to meet the minimum standards for the Vanarama National League.
"This relates to certain aspects of the building work that has been undertaken so far and the club understands that some adjustments to the management of the site will now be required.
"We are in dialogue with Leeds City Council as well as independent experts to solve the issues and hope to reach a positive solution over the coming days and weeks.
"We will keep everyone up to date with the situation via the website and social media as and when things develop."
The club have confirmed that they could face relegation from the national league if the development works at the ground are not completed by the time of the inspection at the end of March.
It is understood the issue arose because of heavy vehicles using a strip of land behind the director's stand and club room, where a public footpath runs through the ground.
Guiseley and Rawdon councillor Graham Latty said there were worries the work could be damaging roots of the protected trees that line the piece of land.
Leeds City Council gave the green light to the upgrade last August - but plans to bring the Nethermoor ground up to Vanarama National League standards had caused controversy in the town.
The club said its plans for new spectator terracing, turnstile and toilets would allow it to take a "massive step forward".
Speaking after the planning decision last year Club secretary and chief executive officer, Adie Towers, said: "This is obviously a massive step forward for us in our plans to bring Nethermoor up to the necessary standards for this division.
"It is just reward for all the hard work put in behind the scenes and serves as a real boost ahead of our debut season at this level."
The council received 61 letters of objection to the scheme, with some people arguing local infrastructure will not support the changes, which will expand ground capacity from 3,000 to 4,000.
Others claim the stadium forms part of a public park, which has been bequeathed to the people of the area, and which is protected by a covenant. The local authority has also received 95 letters in support of the application.
The club says its upgrade is needed to meet spectator safety and comfort regulations set out by the National League.

Altrincham FC First Team / JOIN THE ALTY GROUND COMMITTEE!
« on: September 03, 2015, 10:18:03 PM »
Peter Foster writes, "As Grahame Rowley mentioned in last week's programme, the Club recognises that there may be many areas within the Football Ground where there are improvements and changes required, both small and large, that may be beneficial to the Club and its supporters. This is probably to be expected after 100 years, however the Club would like to set-up a small group who will collate and review these areas of development so we can see what improvements can be made and how these can be done without any significant impact on the playing budget.
To establish this group we would like to get three or four volunteers from the Club's supporters who are interested in this topic and who would be prepared to give up a small amount of their time. Hopefully, we can get representation from both terrace and stand-based supporters. Those involved in the group will be Neil Faulkner, our Safety Officer, Tony Mossman, and the ‘volunteers’.
If you are interested in getting involved in this initiative please e-mail the club".

Altrincham FC First Team / Stuart out for 6 weeks

STU OUT FOR SIX WEEKS!
Joint Press & Media Office, John Edwards, writes that "Altrincham have been dealt another serious injury setback after it emerged that in-form keeper Stuart Coburn (right) faces six weeks out with a damaged groin. Alty's record appearance-maker hobbled off after being injured in the build-up to a controversial late winner for Dover on Saturday.
While there was widespread anger in the Alty camp at the referee's failure to stop play and allow treatment for Coburn, it turned to dismay when the extent of the Robins' number one's injury became clear.
Tim Deasy (left) will step up from the bench for his Vanarama National League debut for Alty against Tranmere at The J Davidson Stadium on Saturday, while the club will look into the possibility of another loan signing.
'As Stuart came to punch the ball clear, and planted his foot down, the force that went through his calf gave him a problem,' said manager Lee Sinnott. 'We're sorting out a scan for him, but the feeling is it will be six weeks. He left the field straightaway. There was no way he could continue, and I just hope he won't be out any longer than that. We'll have to wait to ascertain the full extent of it.
'Fortunately, we've got Tim Deasy ready to take over. Tim showed his many qualities in our pre-season games, but, of course, there's the issue of having someone on the bench. We are looking at the possibilities in terms of options for goalkeeping cover, but it's not easy. For instance, you go to a League club and ask to take one of their young keepers, and you not only have to pay the wages, they expect him to start games.'
There was mixed injury news among Alty's outfield players. Nicky Clee is being assessed by medical staff after a groin problem sustained at Witton in pre-season flared up again at Dover, but left-back Adam Griffin is hopeful of being passed fit for Saturday. Griffin jarred his back at Dover, but the injury has shown signs of settling down over the past 24 hours.
*More from Lee on Stuart's injury, and how Dover were allowed to play on and score what proved the winning goal while he was on the floor needing treatment, will appear here, on the club's official website, tomorrow".
