Macclesfield Sports Hub

A £6 million transformation of Congleton Road playing fields, into a state of the art Sports Hub has been REJECTED by Cheshire East Council

[Macclesfield Sports Hub @HubMacclesfield]

We had amazing plans to transform sporting facilities in #Macclesfield and put the town on the map for sport - our vision wasn’t shared by the council!!

@HubMacclesfield @CheshireEast @DavidRutley @thesilkmen I have an email dated 2nd May 2019 that we have use of that pitch for 2020 happy to publish that too!!! In total 4 sides use that site for youth football! 80 plus kids!!!!!

[Macclesfield Sports Hub @HubMacclesfield]

@TythyJrsFC @CheshireEast @DavidRutley @thesilkmen This was/is our plan for Congleton Road; we can change the landscape of football in Macclesfield - so disappointing!!

[Macclesfield Sports Hub @HubMacclesfield]

Thanks for bringing this to our attention Stuart - we have gone very quiet on here as absolutely no one is listening; we have £6 MILLION ready to put back into community sport... £6 MILLION; we can save sport in Macclesfield given a chance.

@CheshireEast?
@DavidRutley?
Anyone?

[Tytherington Jrs 1987 U17s @TythyJrsFC]

@thesilkmenEDS @MaccCollegeNews @thesilkmen @HubMacclesfield another pitch gone but this time it looks like our local football team @thesilkmen and @MaccCollegeNews college have taken it away from grass routes football #shameful I won’t be going to the moss again if they aren’t sharing!

[Tytherington Jrs 1987 U17s @TythyJrsFC]

@HubMacclesfield @CheshireEast @DavidRutley It’s madness we are crying out for something like the sports hub in Macc. Now even @thesilkmen are booting kids of local facilities!

If only there was somewhere in Macclesfield where this could be based full time - which would incorporate state of the art football facilities and classrooms 🧐

We are desperate to help our @CheshireEast council 🙌

[SaveGrassRootsFooty @savegrassroots]

Cuts by government to local councils are having a huge impact on Grassroots football across the country with most authorities not able to fund grassroots football anymore https://t.co/7Nepq5vd4G Please add your signature to the other 41.682 who have signed our petition RT

This is something we’ve spoken to schools about since our initial plans; we want to help children, adults, schools, teachers and many other stakeholders to access the best sporting facilities around. Only changing the mindset of @CheshireEast can make this happen. 🙏🏼

[Macclesfield Schools FA @U11Fa]

@CheshireEast 57 primary schools and 7 secondary schools in areas including Wincle, Kettleshulme, Disley, through Poynton, Wilmslow, Alderley Edge, Macclesfield & Congleton ALL support the potential use of the proposal @HubMacclesfield

[Macclesfield Sports Hub @HubMacclesfield]

Our artificial pitches would be 4G so therefore RFU compliant. Our indoor space would cater a number sports; we planned a state of the art gym, we spoke to @UKLacrosse...

The new Kings School will have a number of sand based astros to allow hockey to be played in the area.

[Paul Wreglesworth @MacWreg]

@HubMacclesfield Looks good but 'Sports' hub? Seems to be just football. What about developing other sports?

[Macclesfield Sports Hub @HubMacclesfield]

We really wish the people in power thought the same - Macclesfield will continue to fall further and further behind in terms of sports if something isn’t done quickly.

[Macclesfield Schools FA @U11Fa]

#3
Grass pitches tend to be used four or five hours a week. 3G PITCHES CAN BE USED 70 to 80 HOURS PER WEEK. @HubMacclesfield the simple solution...simples ⚽️ and @CheshireEast it won’t cost you a penny to build #nobrainer

[Macclesfield Sports Hub @HubMacclesfield]

👏🏼👏🏼

[Chester FC @ChesterFC]

💙 Subject to planning, the scheme will include a new full size floodlit 3G pitch, improvement of the existing grass pitches, a new Clubhouse with changing rooms and community facilities, refurbishment of the existing Pavilion to include an education suite and more! #KingGeorgeV

[Chester FC Community Trust @CFC_CommTrust]

It’s a real shame @CheshireEast haven’t got the same attitude to sport!!

@DavidRutley - is there anything that we can do?!

🙏🏼🙏🏼

[Chester FC @ChesterFC]

💙 BREAKING NEWS: This is an absolute game changer... 🙌

[Macclesfield Sports Hub @HubMacclesfield]

Thank you for your support. This example in Chester is brilliant; we are willing to invest £6 million to put Macclesfield sport on the map.

We’re also willing to allow local schools to use the facilities during the day to enhance their curriculum & extra-curricular provision.

[Macclesfield Schools FA @U11Fa]

@CheshireEast 30,000 local school children in our district need @HubMacclesfield

[Macclesfield Sports Hub @HubMacclesfield]

@Miggsy79 @thesilkmenEDS @CheshireEast If you can follow back Paul, will drop you a message with regards a meeting with our director. Thanks. MSH.

[Macclesfield Sports Hub @HubMacclesfield]

Two #Macclesfield based business men are willing to invest £3 million each, of the their own money to benefit our local community - we need public support to show @CheshireEast that #Macclesfield is in desperate need of sporting facilities. 🙏🏼
