I've just been past there and the board says the car boot sales are 24th May, 14th June and 12th July, didn't catch the August one.
Which is correct please? |

Are you mixing the afc car boot with the riverside field car boot? Similar places but different dates |

No dates are the same with the Riverside Field car boots and ours.

But all please note it on the mill site not the football facility.
See you this Sunday, weather permitting. |

Can I ask the question, if you can provide 100's of off road parking for a fund raising activity, why can this parking facility not be used on matchdays ? |

We had to hire the venue, hire a road sweeper to remove glass and rubble and have 3 paid marshals.
You can imagine the fee needed to hire a £5m venue.
We would love to be able to use it at every game, remember had any supermarket got the site part of the deal was a 44 car + car park for the people of Silsden. |

Assuming the venue is hired for a nominal amount?
How many fit people play football for afc?
Paid stewards?
Club members clean up site, hand brushes?
Am I missing something? |

old miner We had to get a pro cleaner in as when it was demolished the breeze blocks crumbled and when wet set.
Now when they get wet they become like a skating rink.
We had the community service workers helping some of us trying to clear it but when it was wet it was too dangerous and when it was dry it could not be shifted.
Not one person on the club committees,are paid a penny, the club is run by volunteers.
So old miner, you are missing nothing at all, but would be nice if you backed us instead of joining the knockers.
