Hockey gave me so much as a youngster and as a Nation we are very good at it, shouldn’t this be something we invest in?????? Good luck !

Hockey is an amazing sport which caters for both male and female players. A great club to keep young people interested and out of trouble. Save this pitch!

It’s happening everywhere and shouldn’t be. Hockey is a national and international sport at which Team GB and England are leading the way. Save grass roots hockey.

Breckland should be looking after all sports not just one. Football has enough facilities.

Replacing with a 3G pitch represents a loss of provision, as such surfaces are have been classed as unsafe for Hockey by the East League. The local council should reconsider and find a solution that allows all stakeholders to continue in their use of the facilities.

Thetford hockey club have been a long standing club in the town for years and are committed to encouraging and training children- many who have continued into the adult teams. They use the current Astro as much as football so surely you should be looking for a replacement that continues to encourage a variety of sports and gives both adults and children more sporting opportunities. Support the hockey club and all they have contributed to the town.

Stop the 4g pitch as it’s more important to keep a hockey club and all the social and physical benefits that brings.

How can one sport take a preference over another? Think about mental well being. Losing this pitch means losing hockey, the knock on effects are far greater than the simplicity of the termination of a team.

Replace it with a sand filled astro then both football and hockey will be happy.
We did just that at the beginning of the year and have lots of football teams using the pitch.
Don't prevent a much loved and played sport being played in Thetford!
