Dear season-ticket holder,
You may be aware of the proposals that we have been working on for the last 2-3 years to redevelop the park-side of our stadium to provide new facilities that would support the re-introduction of football pitches into Collingwood Recreation Ground . This would also provide us with new facilities inside the stadium, including new covered accommodation, toilets, snack bars and a club shop. The park-side terracing touchline would be moved much closer to the touchline and we would like to square off the pitch perimeter fencing at the Collingwood Road end thereby providing better viewing for spectators in a more enclosed, compact, atmospheric stadium. Phase two of the plan would include the erection of covered terracing at this end of the ground and the opportunity to provide additional sports and community facilities behind it. These ground improvements are an intrinsic part of our fully developed Football Development Plan and would provide us with a range of facilities and a stadium of which we could all be very proud, thereby enabling our on-pitch ambitions to be given the very best chance to succeed.
We have had some very positive discussions so far with London Borough of Sutton, the county Football Association and various funding bodies and have now reached the stage where we need to submit a definite proposal. Architects have already produced some detailed drawings on a pro bono basis and we also have cost consultants on board to help us deliver value for money. In order to submit our proposals for funding we need to able to meet around 10% of the estimated costs. Our Supporters’ Trust has already raised around a quarter of this, or 2.5% of the total costs, so now we need to raise the balance.
We are therefore inviting you, as a season-ticket holder, to make a donation of £250 to the redevelopment fund. In return, we will give you a 10% reduction against your annual renewal costs for each of the next ten seasons. If the project does not go ahead for any reason then the money raised will be used for alternative ground improvement works.
We know that the general economic situation is not the best it has been, but we hope you will give serious consideration to the scheme as the raising of these initial funds is crucial if we are to successfully implement this ground development initiative.
Yours sincerely,
D.J.Farebrother
Chairman of the Board
