Further to an earlier post regarding our work at Margate Football Club, the planning application to Thanet Council for a medical centre was refused which has put the development on hold. In the meantime I am continuing to work with the club to seek other opportunities.

Football clubs cannot survive on football alone in this day and age and, with the support of the fans, the community, the developer and the local authority the club can hopefully have a modest sized stadium they can be proud of with some long term sustainability to allow the team to develop without the background financial pressures that plague most clubs in this day and age. Everyone involved in the redevelopment has done so with the best intentions and at huge risk. I wish the club and everyone involved every success for the future and I am sure that the current setback will be overcome.
