Title: Cantley Park - Fire
Post by: craigdrfc on August 10, 2025, 06:12:44 pm
Hearing there has been a fairly large fire near the training ground today.

Anybody know if any damage has been done?

Some people are saying it is the training ground on the cantley notice board

That would be devastating especially if it’s the new facility. Fingers crossed it’s nothing too serious.

Just seen a photo, the smoke does look like it’s in the training ground.

We were down there in the last spell of hot weather when the fire service were called out to deal with a fire that had started in the large piles of grass clippings next to the fence by Sandall Beat wood. Could be that again.

That sounds like a much less depressing hypothesis - hope its this.

Just seen a video on facebook, appears to be a storage container on the edge of a field, not one of the main buildings. Hope so.

Think Gibson was down there earlier.

Thought he couldn’t start a fire without a spark?

Statement on DROS. Fire contained to some frost covers.

The blaze centred on a pile of frost sheets which are used to protect the pitches during cold weather but has been dealt with by the attending firefighters.

Club staff were on site on Sunday evening to assess the situation but we can confirm there has been no damage to the buildings or main training pitches.

Oh FFS with silly conspiracies,  obviously the result of global warming,  particularly since the election of Trump.
