Shocked face!

My non league club got promoted to step 3 for this season and as such have to make a series of ground improvements in order to stay at that level.
I’ve just been reading the planning application and they want to add a 154 seat stand and a couple of covered areas for standing. Also some new toilets and catering blocks.
All of this will just sit nicely in the current development that was only built 6 years ago, the club has just grown quicker than it was imagined.
I’ve just read a 5 page document from Sport England who have objected to the application on the basis of some playing field policy (even though any development will just be on the existing footprint) and because they are concerned that the egg chasers next door are concerned that during the construction phase it may encroach onto there field (even though it may not and the egg chasers haven’t raised this as an issue to anyone else). They were also wittering on about the new toilet block being for men only and saying the urinals should be cubicles so they could be inclusive (there is already a better than most ladies toilet block in place).
I know little about Sport England but have just been left thinking what is the fucking point of them.
-
The toilet point is a transgender thing I assume?
-
Market Harborough? All I know is that every kids game I've ever been to there, I've been late. It always takes way longer than expected to get through the town, and then there's never any parking left.
Nice set up to be fair. They were in WSC a couple of issues ago
-
Yes that’s the one. Yeah it can be hard to get parked at times due to the amount going on, especially if rugby or anythjng at the leisure centre is also on. And yes the town centre can get clogged too but enough short cuts if you know!
-
Yer Bobbins, no outsiders.
-
Yeah perhaps? But I’m sure they could use a cubicle and not sure it’s Sport England’s place to stick their nose in here? The ground grading guide states four urinals and two cubicles are required.
The last time i remember reading about Sport England they were objecting to Melton Town installing a 4G pitch on the basis there was already one in the town. At a local school, which didn’t really help the club. Needles to say it eventually got though.

Doesn't seem very value adding. I assume the type of person attracted to work for such a body and the type of person exisirng employees are looking to recruit means you get a load of rules are rules types in a vicious recruitment spiral

Think I might put the ice cream making machine away.

Have spent a bit of time re-structuring a businesses web-presence into a hugo based static site, using a github repository and github actions to build and push the site to cloudflare pages for free tier hosting.
It's quite amazing what you can do for no cost in a 'we can read all your traffic' world these days.
Fun process though, and genuinely no privacy concerns on what is basically a site just providing a presence to advertise an offering. All the contacts and email are routed through more secure privacy respecting routes, of course.
-
Why are you bothering to push it to Cloudfare? Can't you just have github pages host it and stick a custom URL on it? (I have a site I do that with)

Github pages has to be a public repository. So if I'm going to have a private repository to build, I'm going to have to push it somewhere anyway. Github T&C's prohibit (if they still do) commercial sites - it's a development platform. This customer wants to take advantage of Cloudflare at cost domain registration, geo-caching, and traffic analysis and various other management features. It also allows for the possibility of email forwarding from domain addresses without having to run (or connect to) a mailserver. Also by separating the build and hosting ends I can replace the github backend with other application or CI/CD build platforms relatively simply without any disruption. (github>>micro$oft+copillock=yuk).
Summary: Reasons.

I surprisingly understood all that

They do.
