How Refreshing

Here's something refreshing: a new pitch to city council requesting use of one of their under utilized facilities. Let's see how this pitch stacks up!
  • The facility in question is owned by the city -- check!
  • The facility has inadequate parking to fill the facility with people -- check!
  • The facility is practically unserved by public transit -- check!
  • The owners are proposing to attempt to run a sporting franchise of a type which has failed multiple times already in this facility -- check!
Oh wait, it's just as stupid as the other ones have been. The only difference is this is Baseball at the Jim Durrel White Elephant as opposed to football at what's left of Landsdown Park.

If these guys want taxpayer support, I say no. If they want to put their own money up, then giddy up.
