I don’t know the full details I do remember Fulledge rec being mentioned. You would think the local council could find some land and approve planning permission. It would be interesting to hear Hopeys opinion as the income BCC receive from parking etc seems to upset some Lowerhouse supporters.
He's likely still too busy celebrating the title win

Some cricket clubs don’t make enough money from cricket to survive. I’m all for diversification to keep the number one passion of cricket alive/pump the money back into the youth structure.
Burnley CC do it with BFC revenue, Todmorden have a camp site for camper vans… you have to do what you have to do if cricket doesn’t bring in the money.
Good on BCC for doing everything they do. I know thingandwhere and others do this for the good of the club, again, voluntarily.

Rishton wouldn't survive without income from the social side - bar, club room hire, etc
