It’s Mangotsfield Juniors on Blackhorse Road, opposite Blackhorse Junior School, not the senior team at Cossham St. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flounder Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 If you look closely around the South Stand on a Saturday afternoon you will see that like me, a number of our fellow Reds are Mango Juniors Coaches. The pavilion at Blackhorse is used for home matches by a number of Mangotsfield United Juniors teams between 7 and 16 years old, including my sons team. As a coach of 10 years I was saddened to see it go up in smoke last night. It’s not only the fire damage it’s the smoke and water damage to kits and equipment inside the building. We have already started collecting to try and get the damage repaired. I’m told that part of the building needs making safe before the repairs can start. If anyone can spare a few £ we would really appreciate the help.

BS15_RED Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 What is wrong with people? Lots of kids will be gutted. Only utter pondlife would do something so rotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately it looks like it was. The building has been a target for low level vandalism for a while now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we are looking potentially being thousands out of pocket. Bottom line is that that money would have put a ball in front of a four year old child, trained a coach, later provided kits, pitches, goal posts, Refs, Tropies. I’m guessing thousands of kids have passed through our club helped on by an army of Volunteers. It’s sad that one person thinks it’s okay to disrespect that. One thing that come out of this that puts a smile on my face is that I’ve been contacted by a small club quite some distance away. Just one squad of u10 and they are going to pass the hat around at training. Really nice gesture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
