Thanks M8,
We are not quite there yet but it is going to be very special when it is finally complete, as Robbo says we think that its the only way to go with the rising costs of day ticket prices,buying the fishery pellets etc.
The fisheries are just taking the proverbial out of us. We now have a match every weekend for a £ 100.00 per year, this includes 10 away trips and we also know that when we are on our own pool the fish haven't been battered before we get there and we know exactly what is in the place.
We also sell the pellets to the lads in the club and all the money goes to the club for the members benefit.
I was in the Pops years ago with my Dad and I am amazed that you have not tried to go down the route we have in getting your own place, I know about the Pops Pit and the place at Delamere but it really is the only way to go.
I know you have got 40 lads but our place has 23 pegs and has not had more than 17 on it with a membership of 20, plus you have the added advantage of numbers to get the work done, you can see from our pool what a differnce you can make in a short space of time.
The other thing is we are going to be able to drop our subs when the pool is finished due to the pellet revenue so we will have great fishing at a cheaper price.
.
If you think about going down this path get in touch and I will gladly help if I can.
