Juniors Statement
Following a recent article in the Hinckley Times regarding the junior pitches at the Greene King Stadium, chairman of Hinckley AFC Juniors, Gary Hancox, has released the following statement:
‘I would like to reaffirm that Hinckley AFC Juniors have not prevented anyone from playing on the junior pitches at the Greene King Stadium.
‘However, the groundsman has recently been laid off by Leicester Road FC, leaving Hinckley AFC Juniors to maintain the pitches. This simply isn’t sustainable.
‘Leicester Road were told that they could continue to use the pitches at the same cost and terms and conditions that they set out when they had a license to run them previously.
‘Should any parent or player wish to discuss the situation, I will be at Gadsby’s on Saturday morning. However, it must be understood that Hinckley AFC Juniors cannot finance other football clubs.’
