Do you think the Sports Council and Community Council are correct to complain about Kinloch Green? Please vote now and have your say.

Constructive input is what everyone is after and ideas on how to move forward in terms of what should be done with Kinloch Green.

It would be interesting to know who posted the Don't Care.

Not me! I think the green is in a terrible state. The water never used to pool that bad years ago. The only place I remember it being ankle deep was right at the big silver light pole in the middle of the park where all the paths met.

If you wanted to play rugby, then maybe it would be okay, as rugby players love to get covered in mud, but if it's a fitba match yer after - ferget it!!

there a crew drilling bore holes in the school lower field today, i wonder why? better not be planning any building works, the bricks might accidently fall down every night, seeing as they couldn't getto build a school on it they better not be thinking about any other usages other than what it is meant for, keep the dross over there!!!!!

kinloch green is terrible, i see yet another all weather pitch for argyll recently and still the middle digit being waved in the direction of the town

I was told today that they are hoping to put 24 new housing association properties on the playing fields and they are just making test holes now...

Are you on about Kinloch Green or the School Playing Fields?

Are they mad? Don't they remember that Kinloch Green was reclaimed from the sea???

Me thinks Gizmo is trying to wind the General up

Think it is to do with the siting of the all weather pitch in Campbeltown. My friend Sport will update on that soon.

all weather pitch fine and dandy, hooses for mooses and floozies and general generic detritus, to quote myself "aye, THAT, WILL, BE RIGHT!!!"

if they stick the allweather pitch there i'll be buying a shotgun to fill with buckshot and blast the erse of the first vandals from "that area" who think they can do a repeat job like they did on the changing rooms, i only noticed that theres a big fence up now, sad state of affairs, good feckin kicking the little sh!tes are needing, but i'm sure their social workers are proud of them. it will be hard enough to get money to build it without it going the way of the playpark at tesco, now in it's second life, at wot cost? the little one at meadows is perfect, well used, well maintained.

reminds me of the one they built years ago up in the round field at calton and davaar, the kids local to it never went near it as the scum from other parts of town had it wrecked in a week

I can't believe the contractor sowed Rye Grass beside the Aqualibrium and other areas that were disturbed by Scottish Water. Surely the council cannot accept the park back in this condition. Also, just wait until the winter strikes - more flooding on the main pitch because of the path height and other relative drainage problems. Only one thing left now - a new drainage scheme!!
