I would like to wish Old Salesians well with their fight with the Council over the building development on the football pitches at Old Schools Lane. Some thirty years ago my Club was faced with a similar problem. Following the closure of our school the pitches were earmarked for development by Surrey CC. My club, a local youth club and local residents formed an action group that fought the plans and this eventually resulted in a public enquiry with the Secretary of State ruling that the playing fields should remain for the benefit of the local community. So guys stick in there fighting as it can be done.
