'Every time we go back they say we need something else, it feels as if they want us just to go away'
An amateur football club claim the goalposts are being constantly moved as they bid to take over a disused football pitch in Wishaw.
“We approached the council about four years ago about taking on a pitch and they gave us a list to choose from. We chose the Overtown one as we had played there for a season. It’s quite tucked away and sheltered and we thought if we invest some time and money in it then it could be a really good site for years to come.
Fir Park Corner FC was initially set-up by fans of Motherwell FC who went to games together and decided to start up their own team. The team was named after the online supporters’ message-board they were members of. “We’ve met with community groups and businesses and we’re leafleting all the houses in the area,” David continued. “We’ve actually applied more than once, the first time was through the council website where there was a ‘click here to apply’ button, but they said they didn’t receive it, and the button on the website was then changed to, ‘click here to enquire’.
