A fortnight ago Jon Reekie asked: “what is the difference between disposal of land for a padel tennis club and a football club?”In short: about eight or nine acres Jon. As he said, one idea (the football stadium) was agreed by the Conservatives and the other (padel tennis) by the Liberal Democrats (LDs). The padel tennis proposal will take up a small fraction of the football stadium space and will be built on a brownfield site, taking over the empty SportsAble site. Is the Braywick site appropriate for Saturdays when our rugby and football clubs may both play at home? The padel tennis initiative seems like a sensible use of an existing site, which SportsAble vacated in 2021.
