Keep Football In Basingstoke 💭

𝐂𝐥𝐮𝐛 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 Basingstoke Town FC is seeking expressions of interest to fuel the club’s future success.

Are there any brilliant local businesses who might be able to help us improve the changing rooms - whether that’s with materials, time or manpower? We’re looking to make the space better for everyone involved and would love to work with those who take pride in supporting local. If you can help (or know someone who might), drop us a message or use club@btfc.co.uk #BeBasingstoke

End of an era - Camrose to be sold after council left with 'very limited choice' ift.tt/5lPFBw6

In the recent months the sale of the old Camrose ground to SNG was confirmed. I’ve written to the Council Leader calling for cast-iron guarantees that every penny that the council gets from the Camrose sale is reinvested into grassroots football and local sports. The loss of the Camrose was an injustice for this community - It now falls to us to put that right, and invest in local sport for the long term! ⚽

Today I’ve written to the leader of Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council to express my disappointment that no thought has been given to the council’s decision not to invest in a temporary ice rink. We need to find a solution that works for everyone. We must provide for residents and invest in our area.

📢 Launching our new Community Club Membership 2024/25!

I had such a great morning with the students, teachers and coaches of @btfc_academy. The academy & @Basingstoke_FC are doing exceptional work on the pitch, in the classroom & in the community - often against the odds. There’s no doubt that the club has suffered blow after blow in recent years, but through the hard work of some exceptional people, plus a passionate and growing fanbase - they continue to defy the odds. After being robbed of their historic Camrose home, too much of the clubs future lies in the hands of others. They need support, and as the MP, I’d work with the club, supporters, & the community to help secure its future. Thank you for the warm welcome and keep up the brilliant work!

@dabe1971 @journokatie Because they wouldn’t be able to be promoted unless they had a 3000 capacity

@journokatie Too small ? Why ? Winklebury has a 2000 capacity hasn’t it ? Their attendances have rarely passed half that in the last decade ? footballwebpages.co.uk/basingstoke-to…

What a shame after all the campaigning and efforts, Basingstoke Town didn’t submit a bid to try and buy the Camrose back. Now its set for demolition and they are still playing in a ground too small. basingstokegazette.co.uk/news/24001834.…

@BSKconservative @BasGazette @BasingstokeGov What would @BSKconservative do if they were in power?

@BasGazette @BasingstokeGov leader Paul Harvey was in the position to broker a solution for the Camrose. The #Basingstoke Conservative administration rejected the planning application, assigned the Camrose as an asset of community value and fought Basron’s appeal. What did you do Paul?

Camrose: Basron lodges plans to demolish football stadium dlvr.it/T05V2h

@cllr_alexlee Hi @cllr_alexlee as a champion for Winklebury do you count Basingstoke Town football club as a small business?

On #SmallBusinessSaturday how will you show your support? I’ll be around #Basingstoke visiting small businesses that are the bedrock of our economy and sharing the message that Labour has a plan to support them.

The former @Basingstoke_fc ground is up for sale planetradio.co.uk/greatest-hits/…

@BasGazette Do we think this was his plan all along or have circumstances changed? 🤔
