Instead, according to club spokesman Nigel Hunt, the pitches have been hired to a company which has taken a 52 week booking. "The whole thing stinks so far as we are concerned," said Mr Hunt. "We are very angry about the way we have been treated. The council is quick to point the finger at youngsters when there's any vandalism, and yet it takes this facility away from them because this company is willing to pay good money for the pitches." The village club has more than 100 members aged 5five to 18, and has used the floodlit pitches since the 1980's. Mr Hunt said the club was also annoyed to learn that the decision to let the company take over the pitches was agreed in May, but they had not been told until last month. "It left us in a real hole," he continued. "Fortunately Wellington College at Crowthorne has come to the rescue and provided us with training facilities." He fears the club may lose some members because parents will be faced with a longer journey for training sessions.
