The Gurn understands around 25 County fans meeting tonight at Uncle Bob's to plan a major fund raising campaign for ground improvements at Station Park were less than impressed
(to put it mildly)
by the NICE display in the library window just now. A picture and text similar to those shown below were displayed.
In the NICE document entitled "A vision for Nairn" there is a suggestion that Sandown could possibly be a new home for Nairn County FC. A shame then that NICE are not au fait with latest developments at Station Park. The Board and the fans are committed to a future for the club at Station Park and as we reported above a major fundraising effort to improve the ground is now underway. Here's one way that you can become involved. Watch the Nairnshire, the local blogs and facebook for news of other initiatives in the coming months.
PS Vodka jellies - the Gurn also understands that the Star has so far raised £490 for the ground improvement fund with the sales of Vodka jellies and that this is an ongoing initiative. Well done the Star! Why not enjoy a Vodka jelly on your night out and raise funds for the Supporters Ground Improvements Initiative?
UPDATE: Iain Fairweather of NICE has acted quickly and removed the relevant page from the display, he told the Gurn: "I covered it over yesterday. The banners were prepared for the Vision for Nairn meeting - long before the new plans for Station Park were revealed. Now that these plans have been declared, the banners should no longer display that as an option."

Where is the obligatory "Drink Aware" warning after the vodka word or does that not apply to the Bermuda Triangle?
ReplyDeleteOnly goes to confirm what I thought about NICE, how many westenders go to Station Park of a Saturday?
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Nice have consulted with anyone from NCFC or is this just some of their "out of the box" thinking?
ReplyDeleteNICE one, as usual ! Only confirms what people think, yet again. Get a grip NICE
ReplyDelete"how many westenders go to Station Park of a Saturday?"

It was a rhetorical question, but in answer I do and I do!
How about moving it to the Farmers Showfield?
ReplyDeleteAren't NCFC sponsored by westenders with the Narden lads?
ReplyDeleteAlways amused how there seems to be such a big divide in such a tiny town. NICE aren't the only ones needing to get a grip.
But would NICE be happy plonked in the Farmer's field? They probably already have plans for it
ReplyDeleteThanks for all your comments as said in the post. Here's how we see it at GurnNurn
ReplyDeleteNCFC have stated publicly they are staying at Station Park and will improve the ground to the best of their ability.
Supporters go to Station Park from all parts of the town and from many walks of life.
The Gurn understands that donations to the Panel Beating fund are coming in from all over town too and from all over the world.
Maybe NICE will remove the words "possibly a new home for Nairn County" from their display. Nothing to stop them building another stadium for Nairn soccer sides however. Forres has two very good grounds for example.
