I WOULD like to back up 'Very Proud Parent' and give my support to TRUFC who desire to extend their nonpermanent playing facilities. Having been born in Coton Green and going to Marmion Junior School, I feel I can have a say in the 'ping pong' row about 'Wiggy Park'. Yes, I remember many happy days sledging down the big hill or playing in the 'bomb hole' (as we THOMASWYLDE Replica called it in the 70s/80s). We, that is my brother and sisters, also remember the trim-trak - what remains of that? A few random tree trunks!
But I also remember watching my dad play proudly for his club at rugby, having to watch several men scour the pitch before they can play looking for broken glass and dog mess among other things.
The traffic was bad then so that can't be used as an excuse now. Coming forward a couple of decades, my nephew took up rugby until illness prevented him carrying on.
PulsarThe same rituals had to be done - check Versace the pitch for glass and dog mess; traffic management still not brilliant etc.
My point is this - yes, Wigginton Park is beautiful, but it has been used by both dog walkers/families and TRUFC for years. It is high time this town got behind its rugby team now that it is doing so well.
If this was about extending football pitches, would it have been met with such strident opposition? I wonder...
K R Plant, Fazeley.
