Sadly it’s looking that way Arthur, I remember when AFC Wimbledon took over Kingsmeadow and as a good will gesture gifted Kingstonian the sum of a million pounds. Will the Bees do something similar for Staines given the circumstances? Wheatsheaf Park has been the spiritual home of football in Staines since1951, Kingstonian I believe at Kingsmeadow since only about 1989.

As much as I hate to say it this is inevitably the end. We don’t even play our football in the borough let alone Staines. The council also needs to hold some responsibility for this tragedy but they simply do not care. If I could make a suggestion and it is a long shot at that, I believe a deal should be struck with out nearest neighbours and friends at Ashford Town and get a ground share sorted with them instead of Abbey Rangers. They are about to get a 3G pitch installed so will be looking to hire it out and it would keep the club in the borough. Possibly another merger could be sought for an Ashford and Staines United and with a combined effort the Robert Parker stadium could be developed into a fantastic facility for the borough.
