We need to come together and rise as a community so that youth football is able to progress in our area! Olympia leisure centre currently sits empty on a saturday afternoon as local senior team Broadway swifts were to be charged £160 to use it per match! Which i think you will all agree is a disgrace, we want a pitch were Blackstaff FC can train and play at a cost effective rate and the same with local senior teams! As it is clear we are not in the redevelopment plans at olympia or windsor park.

I have been spending my afternoons watching the Olympia centre sit completely vacant while our kids have nowhere to play. It is beyond frustrating to see that space wasted when our local teams are being priced out of their own neighborhood. I am currently reaching out to the facility managers to demand a breakdown of their pricing policies before they ignore us any longer.

Seeing this level of support reminds me why I started this fight for my own kids and their teammates. The momentum we have built proves that our local families are finished with being ignored by the people in charge of our fields.

The price is mad. no wonder the kids are hanging about the streets instead of playing football. give the pitch to the community.

160 quid is a joke. these pitches should be for local teams not just sitting empty. sort it out.

Well done, it is common sense that SB communities benefit from the changes and refurbishment at the Olympia. its has been part of the area for many years and has been supported and used by the community. This needs to be taken into consideration. Not only for football, for all leisure activities at the center.
