PROTESTS AT VISIT OF FAR RIGHT ACTIVIST

An Asda volunteer helps fill the planters

Community volunteers brighten up Strand Road COMMUNITY volunteers have been doing their bit to brighten up Bootle after placing planters on Strand Road.

Bootle Action Group teamed up with nearby Asda and SAFE Regeneration to carry out the work on the busy road, placing the wooden planters on the pavement before filling them with compost.

Michael Brennan from Bootle Action Group said: “The day started with myself and Mike from SAFE, who made the planters, transporting them to Strand Road.

“They weighed an absolute tonne even before the compost! I was then joined by Colette from Asda who helped fill them.

Myself and Collette then set about giving the pavement a good brush and shovel, clearing the weeds from around the sycamore tree, and cutting back a large bush next to the railway bridge.

“We are all really pleased with how they look and by early June the planters will be filled with plants.”

Specialist group set up to combat causes of violence

Crown Court trial date set for man accused of killing his 90 year old father A YOUNG man accused of killing his 90-year-old dad appeared at Liverpool Crown Court for the first time on Wednesday, March 15.

20-year-old Michael Burns is accused of the manslaughter of William Burns, who died in hospital on April 6.

Police had been called to his home in Fatherside Drive, Netherton on March 27, three days after he allegedly suffered chest and facial injuries.

The defendant, who was initially accused of causing grievous bodily harm, was later charged with unlawful

killing. Burns, of the same address, is to re-appear at court on June 12 when he is expected to enter his plea.

A date for his trial, expected to last five days, was fixed to begin on November 18.

Burns was further remanded on unconditional bail.

Aim is to reduce incidents of serious crime and identify reasons behind recent increase Report by Tom Martin A NEW ‘multi-agency group’ will be created made up of specialists in police, health and local government who will work to tackle the causes of serious violent crime.

Merseyside’s Police Commissioner, Jane Kennedy, wants to set up the Violence Reduction Partnership, with the aim of preventing and reducing the incidences of violence, as well as identifying the underlying reasons for the recent increase in serious crime on Merseyside.

The announcement comes in response to the government’s announcement that they would be allocating £100million to tackle the surge in serious violence across the country.

Merseyside Police are still waiting to hear if their proposal to establish the policing aspect of a Violence Reduction unit will be supported with funding from this Serious Violence fund.

The Police Commissioner said: “The causes of

serious violence are extremely complex and deep-seated. It is not possible to simply ‘police’ our way out of violent crime.

“We need to look beyond, at societal problems including poverty, mental ill-health, education, issues of addiction and lack of opportunity.

“Central Government are also pushing for a public-health focussed response to addressing this issue and as region we need to respond to this challenge.

“By developing this partnership, I want all the agencies who have a role to play in policing and community safety to step up and play their part in addressing the contagion of serious violence.

“Between all the partners we have a wealth of information and data on many of these factors, but at the moment we are not using it as wisely as we could, nor targeting our activities to have maximum impact.

“By bringing together specialists from across the sectors to set up this Violence Reduction Partnership, my aim is to pool our combined intelligence and resources so that we can diagnose the problem, better understand it and then develop and deliver effective plans to address the areas of most need.

“By sharing knowledge and understanding, we will be able to build on the great work already being done to ensure our endeavours are better resourced and more targeted.”

Nominations wanted for ‘Believe’ awards Jeremy Corbyn speaking in Derby Park

Clashes at rally From page 1 “We offer hope, the far right offers only fear.”

The following day a large crowd gathered near Tile World, on Derby Road, where Tommy Robinson, whose real name is Stephen YaxleyLennon, was due carry out a rally as part of his campaign to be elected for the North West region the European Elections.

There were clashes in the street and several supporters of Tommy Robinson claimed they were assaulted by protesters. He turned up late for the rally, but on his arrival eggs and a bottle of what appeared to be milkshake were thrown at his vehicle.

Demonstrators attempted to block the path of his vehicle by sitting in the road and waved anti-racist placards. Robinson had to be led by officers through back streets in order to reach the rally stage, which had been placed in front of a large screen.

He then addressed around 60-70 people for an hour.

Robinson, who is standing as an independent candidate in Thursday ’s vote, was then escorted from the rally by police.

MP Dowd, claimed Merseyside

Police should have called off the visit.

He posted on Twitter during the protest: “It’s shocking that 50 Merseyside Police officers are in a small street in Bootle protecting the right of fascist Stephen Yaxley-Lennon to spread hatred. Police resources for protecting our communities are cut and Bootle people shouldn’t have to foot the bill.

“How has it come to the police declaring a Section 14 under the Public Order Act with a group of peaceful protesters on one small street in Bootle with threats of arrest? Simple solution: get Stephen Yaxley-Lennon to call off his unwanted visit.”

At one point during the demonstration, MP Dowd claimed he was told he could be arrested. He said: “Oh dear, I'm trying to have a conversation with a colleague and have been threatened with arrest by an officer who called me ‘mate’.

“I'm proud of the people of my constituency and Merseyside for coming out in huge numbers to say no to the lies, hate and venom of fascist Stephen Yaxley-Lennon and his thugs.”

SEFTON'S most inspirational and brave young people will be honoured once more at this year's Believe Awards.

Footballing couple who both have sights set on winning top honours!

Staff to watch their fitness after teaming up with Carragher

Report by Tom Martin A TALENTED couple who are BOTH professional footballers seem to be taking part in their own competition to see who is having the better season!

The Champion reported recently how 25-year-old Jack O’Connell, who used to play for Litherland Remyca, will compete in the Premier League next season after securing promotion from the Championship with Sheffield United.

His partner, Alex Greenwood, 25, from Bootle, is the captain of Manchester United and in the club’s maiden season in the FA Women’s Championship she has guided her team to promotion and they will play in the Women’s Super League next season.

As if that wasn't enough, Alex was delighted to find out this week that she has been selected by England manager Phil Neville for the Women’s World Cup to be held this summer in France.

Alex’s proud mum, Alison, told the Champion that the whole family will fly over to France to watch her represent England.

She said: “We can't wait and we’re all going to travel over to watch, including Jack. It’s such a massive achievement for her and she’s made up.”

Playing in the top division for their clubs is not the only similarity between Alex and boyfriend Jack, as they are also both defenders and both support Liverpool.

Alex grew up as a Reds fan and spent two years playing for Liverpool Ladies before moving down the M62 last year to captain the newly formed Manchester United Ladies side. The couple now live in Manchester, but Alex’s family say they

happens in football.

“She’s the captain and will play in the top division next season which is amazing.”

Greenwood signed for Liverpool’s other rivals, Everton, in 2010 before moving to Notts County in 2015. She signed for Liverpool a year later, making 32 appearances for the Reds.

The former Savio High School pupil has been selected for England in the past, and in 2015 she became the squad’s youngest member for the Women’s World Cup when it was held in Canada.

She has made 32 appearances for her country and will look to add to this tally when she arrives in France this summer.

hold no grudges over her decision to play for Liverpool's rivals!

Mum Alison said: “There were a few boos when she told us but that’s what

80 micrograms per 100ml.”

Greenwood, who had no previous convictions, represented herself. “I hold my hands up, it was a massive mistake and I should not have done it,” she said, adding: “It was the accumulation of a lot of things that had happened previously.”

The magistrates sentenced her to a 12-week 7pm to 7am curfew and banned her from driving for two years. They also ordered that she pay £170 in costs and victim surcharge.

Chairman Frank Dainty said: “It is clear from our guidelines that you have only just missed going to prison and have been given a community order. In view of your injuries we do not feel that unpaid work is applicable so we will give you a curfew.”

The second is 70-year-old William Henry Topham.

He died at his home address in Clare Road, Bootle on Friday, January 18.

Both deaths are not being treated as suspicious.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Sefton Coroner’s office on 0151 934 2746.

LIVERPOOL legend Jamie Carragher has teamed up with a Bootle firm to help encourage their staff to stay healthy.

The former defender is behind Watch Us Get Fit, which encourages children to be active regardless of their ability and they use watches to keep track of their exercise.

Sovini Group, on Dunningsbridge Road, have become the first company to sign up to the programme and each staff member will receive a free Garmin fitness tracker that will monitor things like step count, calories burned, distance covered, active minutes and more.

They will be able to access their own personal dashboard to monitor progress, set goals and keep track of their reward points.

Carragher said: “The project has been really successful engaging primary school children and encouraging them to be active. Having a high profile employer like The Sovini Group on board highlights the potential of the project and shows anyone can improve their health, regardless of age or ability.”

The Sovini Group originally helped kick start the Watch Us Get Fit programme by providing the funding

for the project to be rolled out across ten primary schools in the Liverpool City Region.

Watch Us Get Fit has since expanded into other regions, encouraging children to be active regardless of their ability.

The Sovini Group is the first major employer to launch the scheme, further enhancing their health and wellbeing scheme.

Roy Williams, The Sovini Group CEO, said: “We are recognised as one of the UK’s best workplaces and we believe this unique partnership with Watch us Get Fit will only enhance our employee offer. We place great importance on the health and wellbeing of our employees and I think they will get a lot out of the project.”

James Olsen, director of Watch Us Get Fit, said: “The Sovini Group helped bring the initiative into schools and we’ve had a fantastic response from the pupils engaged with the programme. We’re delighted to have an organisation like The Sovini Group introduce Watch us Get Fit to the workplace.

There’s a lot of excitement around the project. The buy-in from staff has been fantastic already.”

Anthony thanks fans after first ever headline show Report by Tom Martin BOOTLE singer Anthony Russell has described his first ever headline show as “unbelievable” after he performed at the O2 Academy in Liverpool.

The 29-year-old was singing at his own show on Saturday, May 18and this washis first public performance since he quit the X-Factor live tour due to “personal reasons.”

Following the concert, Anthony said: “Last night was unbelievable, Liverpool

you blew me away! Thank you to everyone who supported me and everyone who came and made it such an amazing gig.”

Anthony's withdrawal from the XFactor tour in March fuelled fresh rumours about his drugs problems, having been forced to deny similar claims when he dropped out of the X Factor finals in 2017.

In last year’s show, Anthony proved to be a big hit with viewers having been personally mentored by One Direction star and X Factor judge Louis Tomlinson who took Anthony under his wing.

Benefits cheat was looking after money for son, court hears A BOOTLE man prosecuted for claiming more than £10,000 in benefits after receiving a lump sum of nearly £30,000 from his late mother’s estate told a court that most of the money belonged to his son and that he was looking after it to stop him frittering it away.

Stephen Wyatt, 57, of Fernhill Road, pleaded guilty to two charges of dishonestly failing to notify authorities of a change in circumstances affecting his entitlement to benefits when he appeared at Sefton Magistrates Court on May 15.

Chris Fontaine, prosecuting, said that prior to 2014 Wyatt had been claiming income

support and housing benefit “on the basis that had no other income or capital”.

However, enquiries showed that Wyatt had savings over the prescribed limit after receiving £29,739 into one of his bank accounts on October 28 of 2014.

During a subsequent interview with investigators from the benefits authority, Mr Fontaine said that Wyatt said that the money in the account was from the sale of a family member ’s house.

“He said he received £10,000 from proceedings and his son Reece received £17,000,” the prosecutor said. “He did not want his son to waste his money so he put the money

into an ISA in his own name.”

Mr Fontaine said that Wyatt told investigators that his son was named in his will but there was no record at the probate registry of him making a will.

The court heard that between 2014 and 2017 Wyatt received an overpayment of £10,414 in income support and housing benefit.

Solicitor Mark Philips said in mitigation that Wyatt is a vulnerable person. “Vulnerable people receive benefits and the rules in relation to benefit law are extremely confusing. The defendant thought he was allowed to have up to £16,000.

“However, he is guilty of the offence. Ignorance is not a defence but there was not an

intention to set out to defraud the authorities. His mother died and left some money.

Some of that money belonged to his son. He was worried that his son would fritter that money away so he controlled access to it.”

Mr Philips added that Wyatt was going through his own difficulties at the time and that he had been his mother’s carer for eight years before her death.

The magistrates sentenced him to a 10 week 7pm-7am curfew and ordered that he pay £170 in costs and victim surcharge.

The court was told that the overpayment is being reclaimed by deductions to his benefits.

Bootle Bucks Inclusion FC backs council’s friendship campaign Report by Tom Martin A BOOTLE-based football team, which was created to encourage youngsters with disabilities to get into the sport, is backing a council campaign to celebrate the importance of mental and physical well-being.

Bootle Bucks Inclusion FC has teamed up with the council to help promote their Year of Friendship campaign, which was stepped up in May as the local authority looked to celebrate community groups, teams, individuals and organisations who promote healthy bodies, minds and flourishing friendships through keeping fit, playing sport and more.

Sefton Council’s campaign is being supported by a number of groups and organisations across the borough, includ-

ing Bootle Bucks Inclusion FC, who have been leading the way in inclusive sporting events since 2018.

John Rice, chairman of Bootle Bucks Inclusion FC, said: “We started the team in April 2018 with a view of giving a handful of kids with a disability an opportunity to play football.

“Since then Bootle Bucks Inclusion FC has really blossomed into a huge event.

Now we have up to 70 kids every Saturday turning up to play football.

“But it’s not only football and fitness, it’s friendships that the children have made.

They all stay over at each other’s houses, going out for days out and more!

“The parents are meeting up as well outside of football so what started out as just a footballing idea has really turned into a massive family now which is absolutely fantastic.”

Drug dealer on suspended sentence caught with cannabis A BOOTLE man on a crown court suspended prison sentence for dealing in drugs has been caught with possession of cannabis.

Barry Burgess, 52, of Smollett Street, pleaded guilty to possession of the class B drug at Sefton Magistrates Court on May 15.

As he was caught with the cannabis on April 29, the legal advisor said that the matter put him in breach of an eight-month prison sentence, suspended for 24 months, imposed at Liverpool Crown Court on January 14 , 2019 in relation to “possession with intent to supply”.

She said that the magistrates had to consider sending the matter to the crown court and that the starting point for a breach is to activate the sentence in full unless it would be unjust to do so.

Representing himself, Burgess said he had nothing to

say other than he was guilty of the offence.

Granting him unconditional bail, the magistrates told him to appear at Liverpool Crown Court for sentencing on June 12, when a judge will also consider activating the suspended sentence. editorial@champnews.com

Man who watched live videos of child abuse online jailed Report by Tom Martin A MAN from Litherland who admitted watching the live abuse of young children online has been jailed.

Richard Thomas, 31, of Longfield Road, has now been convicted three times in only nine years of online child sexual abuse offences.

This latest occasion has resulted in him being put behind bars for two and a half years after he pleaded guilty to five offences at Liverpool Crown Court.

He admitted three counts of making indecent images of children, one of encouraging the commission by another of the offence of distributing indecent images of a child, and one of breaching a Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO).

The National Crime Agency (NCA) identified that Thomas was using an online video conferencing platform to watch indecent images of children online.

Investigators were able to prove that the chat room user names ‘Ped UK’ and ‘P1’ belonged to him.

Thomas has two previous convictions for offences related to indecent images of children.

In 2010 he was given a three-year community order, then in 2016 he was given a 12 month prison sentence and a SHPO prohibiting him from accessing the internet unless approved by a police officer.

As well as the prison sentence, Thomas was ordered to be on the sex offenders register for life.

The SHPO remains in place.

Graham Ellis, NCA operations manager, said: “This is Thomas’ third conviction for offences related to online child abuse. By viewing these horrific images of children he – and others like him - are fuelling the abuse of young children across the world.

Richard Thomas

“We know the scale and severity of this type of offending against children is getting worse and increasing. With many individuals we see an escalation in offending which is very frightening; going from viewing abuse images to sexually abusing children.

“The NCA and our law enforcement partners will not stop pursuing child sex offenders and will do everything in our power to bring them to justice.”

The NCA’s most recent National Strategic Assessment published this week shows the number of referrals to the NCA from industry of online child sexual abuse and exploitation has increased by 997% from 2012 to 2018.

Child protection charity The Lucy Faithfull Foundation runs the Stop It Now! helpline which offers confidential advice to anyone concerned about their own or someone else’s behaviour towards children.

Homes raided as police target city centre drugs gang Report by Tom Martin POLICE raids have been carried out in Crosby as part of a crackdown on drug dealing in Liverpool city centre.

Officers targeted 14 properties in Crosby, Toxteth, Anfield and Tuebrook on Thursday, May 16 and they arrested ten people for a variety of offences.

During the course of the investigation officers identified a network of drug dealers selling to and harassing revellers in the city centre during nights out.

The drugs gang mainly operated in the areas of Concert Square, Slater Street, Fleet Street, St Peters Square and Wood Street.

Superintendent Mark Wiggins said: “The action taken by officers is the culmination of a six-month operation targeting those involved in supplying drugs to people in Liverpool city centre.

“Some people on a night out might think that taking drugs is just a bit of fun – I am here to tell you it definitely is not.

“We know drug dealers use threats, intimidation and violence in order to keep their illicit enterprise running and resolve their disputes. And behind every single drug dealer is a chain of command in which vulnerable younger people are routinely taken advantage of, and addicts exploited.

“Organised crime groups have drug dealers operating at street level for them and think nothing of picking up weapons in order to inflict serious injury or worse on those who threaten their criminal livelihoods, and we have linked many firearms discharges to them in recent years.

“We are also particularly concerned about the associated crime and violence that can accompany drug dealing in the city centre.

“This investigation was put in place after members of the public, businesses and community leaders

Police carry out the raids last week.

raised concerns about drug dealing and violence in certain areas of the city centre.

“I hope this action serves to reassure them and the wider public that we are unrelenting in our pursuit of those suspected of involvement in this activity and we are committed to making our streets safer for our communities.”

Babs raises a glass on her 102nd birthday!

A BLUNDELLSANDS pensioner who has celebrated her 102nd birthday believes the secret to a long life is her loving family.

Babs Robinson, who lives at Woodlands Lodge care home, in Formby, was born just outside of London in 1917 before she moved to Blundellsands, where she lived for 70 years.

Before meeting her husband, Babs worked for a bank and once married she became a homemaker, celebrated baker and active philanthropist.

Babs was an avid golfer, hav-

ing been a former lady captain of West Lancashire Golf Club.

Tennis was another one of her passions and this was how she met her late husband.

Babs puts her longevity down to having a happy family life and a very good husband. And, according to staff at Woodlands Lodge, enjoying life and maybe a dance or two!

She was joined on her birthday by her family, friends, Woodlands staff and even pupils from Formby High School who were invited to celebrate her big day.

Vote to make Europe better

There’s a difference between Residents should have noisy bars and restaurants embraced food recycling

As a 90-year old this will almost certainly be my last chance to vote in a European (or perhaps any) election.

All I hope is that everyone will take this election seriously and put in their penn’orth.

And may we send to Brussels people ready to work, however long they’re there, to make Europe a better place.

I have lived through 75 years of peace and prosperity, unlike my parents.

May the next generation enjoy the same.

While I sympathise with the feeling that there are too many bars on South Road, a blanket ban on any bar or restaurant should be questioned.

There is a range of difference between a quiet restaurant which closes at 10.30pm and a noisy bar, and there needs to be some distinguishing between the two.

It is also a fact that South Road requires the night-time economy to survive.

Given the death of the High

Keith Thomas, Crosby

Street and the way that smaller outlying shopping areas are struggling, it is very unlikely that any of those empty buildings are going to be filled with shops.

Empty buildings are the very worst thing to happen to a commercial zone near residential dwellings, and this needs to be considered when applications are made.

Mike Homfray, Waterloo

I agree with the letter writer who suggests we stop wasting food and buy less.

However, using the green garden waste wheelie bin as a receptacle for fruit and vegetable waste is not the answer.

My understanding is the garden waste bin should only be used for garden waste as it can then be recycled and used as rich soil conditioner.

In addition the garden waste bin is only collected once every three weeks and ceases to be collected every year from November to March.

Stopping the collection of the small

PICTURE of the week

green food caddy will mean that food waste will have to be placed in our grey wheelie bins, the contents of which will be added to landfill sites where it will produce methane gas which is one of the most potent greenhouse gases.

Sefton Council has been very shortsighted in planning to eliminate the food waste collection service and many Sefton residents have been equally short-sighted in not embracing this very valuable service.

C Campbell, By email

We can all do things to improve the environment It makes me angry and sad that although we humans know the terrible damage we are doing to our environment, we still seem to do very little to change things!

Shops continue to sell (and we continue to buy) goods which are unnecessarily packed in plastic and cannot be recycled.

We throw our plastic bottles on the floor and litter our streets and eventually our oceans (and moan that, there’s not enough bins!) and ‘someone else’ should pick it up for us! (even if it is right outside our own front garden!)

We cover our gardens with concrete and plastic grass and then wonder why we don’t see many birds or bees etc.

We drive our cars when we could very easily walk and then complain about our: overcrowded roads; decreasing green spaces; air pollution; being overweight and our overstretched National Health Service!

These stupid and selfish behaviours are the causes of many of the huge problems that are killing our planet and ourselves!

But we all have the power to make the small changes that collectively will help make to make a huge difference... all it takes is the will to find out how... and take action!

There are many websites which can help us all to look after this beautiful planet of ours.

Such as www.wwf.org.uk/thingsyoucando.

Priority should be We pay highest town tax but to fix the pot holes other people get the benefits I don’t know why anyone bothers to object to anything suggested to Sefton Council, such as not cutting down trees, extended opening hours, new bars, building houses, or roads we don't want on green space - because they approve everything anyway.

I see now they want to spend thousands changing the junction at Great Georges Road in Waterloo.

I use this junction nearly every day and I see nothing wrong with it.

It is fully functional and I’ve never encountered any problems using it and don't know anyone who has.

I’d much prefer them to fix all the potholes, but I bet they ignore this and go ahead anyway.

Patricia Kirk, Crosby

I have just read in your paper the article ‘Precept too much for what we get.’

It states in it that ‘Maghull is too freeze it's precept.’

If it is true I would like to know authorities definition of the term freeze.

Looking at my council tax demand the amount Maghull is charging is £120.14 a rise of 5.4 percent.

I would like to know how this cost benefits the people of this community.

Everything the money is used for benefits the people outside the town just as much as those inside.

For example the town hall which includes a swimming pool was paid for by the precept.

People of Maghull have to pay the same amount as the people outside the town who did not contribute to the building cost.

We struggle to park outside our home

In fact we are paying all the time for the upkeep of the town so outsiders can also benefit from the amenities.

With so many new properties being built in Maghull the town council are going to have even more money.

I would like to know what they have planned for it.

Are they going to reduce our precept or are they going to increase the subsidy to Sefton Council to cover the costs incurred by other areas who have little or no precept to pay.

I am sure most people would like to know why we pay the highest ‘Town Tax’ when the benefits we receive are no greater than any other area.

I’m writing about your article in the paper about parking problems in Bootle.

We have the same problems on Fernhill Road and Fernhill Close.

As soon as you move your car in the morning there is nowhere to park when you come back.

Not only Monday to Friday also when Everton FC are playing their home games.

I have contacted the highways and they said there are no plans for any more residents parking set to be approved in Bootle.

I have a two year old granddaughter who lives with us and we struggle on a daily basis parking outside our home.

Candidates line up for your votes in European Parliamentary Elections THE full list of candidates for this week’s European Parliamentary Elections has been published.

Nine political parties and two individual candidates will contest the elections tomorrow (Thursday, May 23) to elect the North West of England’s eight Members of the European Parliament (MEPs).

The elections will take place despite Brexit uncertainty. Initially, the elections were not planned as the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union was set for March 29. With the Brexit deadline now delayed until the autumn, we will still be a EU member when the elections for the full EU parliament get underway and the UK is required to put forward parliamentary candidates.

More than five million electors across the North West will have the opportunity to vote. The count and declaration of results for the North West region will take place in Manchester on Sunday, May 26, after polls close across Europe.

People will not be able to vote in these elections unless they have ensured they are on the Electoral Register.

European Union citizens living in the North West, are eligible to vote in the European Parliamentary elections in either the UK or in their country of origin but not both.

The following parties and individual candidates are standing in the north west: Change UK - The Independent Group: Andrea Cooper, Dan Price, Arun Rammoy Colin Banerji, Michael Stewart Taylor, Phillippa Olive, Victoria Ann Desmond, Andrew Paul Graystone, Elizabeth Malisa Knight.

Conservative and Unionist Party: Sajjad Haider Karim, Kevin Michael Beaty, Jane

Elizabeth Ann Howard, Arnold Saunders, Wendy Maisey, Thomas Baxter Lord, Anthony Pickles, Attika Salim Choudhary.

By Champion Reporter CRICKETER Tatenda Taibu, who was brought up in Zimbabwe, but now lives in Crosby, has brought out an autobiography about his eventful life, which tells of what it was like to be an outspoken athlete in the country during the regime of Robert Mugabe.

Taibu, who played for Hightown St Mary ’s and now for Formby in the Liverpool Competition, has called his book Keeper of Faith: Cricket, Conflict and God in Zimbabwe’s Age of Extremes.

It tells about his upbringing in a poor township near Harare to becoming captain of his national team in 2004 at the age of just 20, the first black skipper of the team.

Just over a year later he was exiled in Bangladesh, on the run from a cricket board that tried to threaten him into silence.

He was forced to quit the sport at the age of 29 to devote more time to his Christian faith and he later moved to the UK Much of Taibu’s career took place against a backdrop of constant mismanagement, poor administration and regular political interference, and he provides first-hand accounts of the damaging effect this had on Zimbabwe cricket, from Andy Flower and Henry Olonga’s ‘death of democracy ’ protest at the 2003 World Cup to his own stand in 2005, which compromised the safety of him

and his young family. The fame that the sport brought him also caused him to question his purpose in life and Taibu reflects on the rediscovery of his faith, which helped him to put cricket – and his life – into a better perspective.

He announced his retirement in 2012, as his rediscovery of faith began to demand more of his time, while making him view the sport in a different light.

He returned to help Zimbabwe as selector, scout and academy director in 2016, but once again mismanagement and interference from above led to his a year later, leaving Zimbabwe.

One reviewer says Taibu’s book “lifts the lid on the challenges of representing Zimbabwe in the era of Robert Mugabe, and details how constant conflict ultimately restrict meaningful progress.”

Keeper of Faith is published by deCoubertin books priced £12.99.

Care home staff celebrate at Orchard Lodge.

Care home staff celebrate improved CQC rating Report by Tom Martin A CARE home in Seaforth which was rated as 'Requires Improvement' two years ago by inspectors has turned it around and has now been given an improved rating.

Staff from Orchard Lodge Care Home, on Gordon Road, are celebrating after the Care Quality Commission (CQC) held an assessment on March 25 and awarded it a 'Good' rating.

The CQC inspect five categories of a care home and they can give four ratings depending on its findings - Outstanding, Good, Requires Improvement and Inadequate.

Jeanette Vaill, the registered manager at the care home, said: “In September 2016 and the home was classed as Requires Improvement in four categories.

“In 2017 we were Requires Improvement in two

categories and in our inspection in March 2019 we have now achieved Good across all five categories.

“We are over the moon and I would like to thank all of my team who have worked so hard over the last 12 months to ensure that we made all good.

“We have a lovely care home, dedicated staff and, the atmosphere is brilliant. The registered provider Milijana Kiss has backed me all the way when I have stated what improvements were needed.”

Orchard Lodge is a private residential care home providing personal care for up to 26 people.

A section of the CQC report states: “Staff showed a good understanding of their roles and responsibilities for keeping people safe from harm. Medicines were managed safely and people received their prescribed medicines at the right time.

“This was an improvement since our last inspection. Where issues were identified during this inspection, these were immediately addressed by the registered manager.”

easigrass is becoming ever popular due to its low maintenance, realistic look and dream garden appeal. There’s no mud or mess, no cutting or weeding and it creates beautiful outdoor spaces for family and friends to enjoy.

Esterson praises ‘significant step’ in fight against climate change

by Danielle Thompson SEFTON Central MP Bill Esterson says the UK took a ‘significant step in the fight against climate change’ by declaring a climate emergency in the House of Commons.

The MP restated his support for renewable energy and said investment in the technology would be ‘vital’ in the fight to keep global temperatures from rising to ‘catastrophic’ levels.

Following recent ‘strike action’ by school children across the UK and the world; protests in London by campaign group Extinction Rebellion; and a visit to Parliament from Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, Esterson’s Labour colleagues presented a motion to the House asking for a climate emergency to be declared. The Government offered no opposition to the motion and it was passed.

The United Kingdom Parliament was the first in the world to officially declare an environmental and climate emergency.

‘We have no time to waste’ warns MP

Sefton Central MP Bill Esterson

Mr Esterson said: “In light of the International Panel on Climate Change's warnings about the drastic action that needs to be

taken worldwide in order to stop a catastrophic increase in global temperatures, it was imperative that this passed to try to force the Government to prioritise this issue. We have taken a significant step in the fight against climate change but so much more needs to be done.

“We have no time to waste. This climate crisis will spiral dangerously out of control unless we take rapid and dramatic action.

Investment in renewables is now vital so that we can move away from using fossil fuels that are so damaging to the environment.

“For too long we have sat back and said this is a problem for the future. But no longer. We are facing the irreversible destruction of the environment and we must do all we can to ensure that does not happen.”

He added: “We can be leaders in the low-carbon economy.

Meeting the challenge of the climate emergency can deliver future prosperity through a proper industrial and international trade strategy in renewables, not fossil fuels.

“It is time to develop the future, not the past.”

Festival of Golf was a real swinging success!

Report by Henry James SEFTON’S Festival Of Golf has been declared a swinging success after a week of events, challenges and coaching for all ages.

More than 50 young boys and girls have now joined the junior ranks of Southport and Bootle Municipal golf courses as part of the celebration to coincide with the British Masters at Hillside.

Pro golfers Matthew Baldwin and Oliver Wilson were on hand to deliver intricate one-on-one sessions with youngsters while many tried their hands at the gruelling three club and longest putt challenges in the hope of winning top prizes.

Cllr Ian Moncur, Sefton Council's cabinet member for health and wellbeing, said: “It was a fantastic week for our Festival of Golf and we're delighted to

welcome 53 new junior members to our courses.

“This includes one eager youngster all the way from Hull who was visiting our beautiful borough for the weekend and will now return to play on our phenomenal courses.

“Our congratulations must go to Kate Dilworth who conquered our longest putt challenge and won tickets to the Southport Airshow, while the three club challenge winner Sean Maloret, along with runner up Jake Maloret, won a four balls round at Hillside and Hesketh Golf Clubs respectively.

“The festival has been a fantastic success and we have welcomed so many people, both young and old, to our courses and we are exploring of options to make some of the festival's features permanent, including the very popular frisbee golf!”

OPENING HOURS: Monday to Saturday 9am - 5pm Sunday 11am - 4pm

I was thinking about what I would blather on about in this week’s ‘Dog’ - until I came home on a 310 bus from Ormskirk yesterday.

I had just finished reading my library book - and in some ways I wish I had, because it put me in a bad mood for the rest of the day.

We were approaching a bus stop when a middleaged woman walking in the same direction looked over her shoulder and spotted the bus.

She kept walking at the same speed and staring straight ahead, but simply raised her right arm imperiously - which I took to be some sort of sign that she would like the bus to stop.

And much to his credit, the driver braked so his bus was only a yard or two past the stop, opened the doors and waited for this woman to board.

We waited - long enough for those who had not spotted this intending passenger, to crane their necks to see what had caused this cessation of movement.

Eventually, this person strolled up and boarded, plonked a card of some sort on the ‘reader ’, and sauntered to a seat just across the aisle from mine.

Not a word of apology or thanks to the driver just an autocratic stare straight ahead.

I was flabbergasted and felt strangely guilty as a fellow passenger.

My first reaction was to make some sarcastic comment to this person who had just been so rude to the driver who had done his level best for her.

I didn’t because I had no wish either to cause a ‘scene’, or to start a slanging match on the bus Plus, I suppose, you could say it was probably none of my business anyway.

But what on earth does it say about us when somebody is gratuitously rude to a fellow human being who has just performed a courteous act.

I reckon that had I been driver of that bus, I might well have thought twice about stopping next time I see someone late for my bus.

Certainly the driver had made a courteous decision - he could very well have ‘not noticed’ this woman and simply driven on.

And talking of folk behaving courteously, the other day I was unusually travelling to Southport from Liverpool by train.

All went well - until right at the throat of Southport station and moving very slowly it came to rather sudden stop. And stayed stopped.

The guard however exceeded his duty by explaining to us passengers what had happened, and roughly how long we would be stuck for.

In fact, the train had somehow been ‘gapped’ the current collector shoes had all gone out of contact with the third rail at the same time.

But the guard visited each of the three carriages individually and explained what the problem was (and, he said, in 15 years on the railway this had never happened to him before) and said we would have to wait 15 minutes for the next train behind to catch up, buffer up and push us, as he put it, back onto ‘the juice.’

He shared a joke or two with us by now happily (and only temporally) marooned passengers and nobody thought the worse of him or Merseyrail.

What you might call a really good ambassador.

Now unlike the incident on the bus, this small contretemps in fact improved my day - which up to that point had been going none too well - no end.

After all, this guard could simply have got onto the PA and said Merseyrail apologised for the delay and service would be resumed as soon as possible.

My fellow passengers and I would then have spent a quarter of an hour grumbling about this appalling railway service.

Now just think on this.

If more people behaved like my bus driver and the train guard, and fewer like the appalling woman on the bus, the world would be a considerably better place in which to live.

Unhappily it seems to me that folk generally, and unfortunately of all ages, seem to be becoming more aggressive and intolerant year by year.

ADVERTORIAL

Champion Squad Running for Deaf Active

DETERMINED members of staff from the Champion will attempt to go the extra mile for charity next month when they take part in a 10k challenge.

A team of eight runners from our newspaper have agreed to take on the Southport 10k on Sunday, June 30, when thousands of people are expected to descend on the resort for the annual event.

The Champion runners are a real mixed bag in terms of experience, with Accounts Executive Sarah Brewster (Moorside Park Run Club) being the most seasoned runner, compared to Reporter Tom Martin who had never run 10k in his life before agreeing to take part. All team members are keen to do well with some hoping to beat previous PB’s!

It will be a tough training regime for the team in the coming weeks, as they try to improve their fitness levels ahead of the big day.

However, it will all be worth it as any money they raise from the run will be donated to Deaf Active, which is a cause close to the Champion’s heart.

Deaf Active have campaigned tirelessly

to promote inclusive youth and play services for D/deaf children and young people, CODA’s (Children Of Deaf Adults), Hard of Hearing children and their hearing family members and friends.

They offer after school fitness clubs including dancercise, football and kick jutsu as well as holiday camps during school holidays Deaf Active is a vibrant young charity working to support, promote and enhance the lives of D/deaf children and young people throughout the boroughs of Merseyside.

For more information on Deaf Active, visit the website: www.deafactive.org The route for the Southport 10k, put on by Epic Events, is the only running event in the history of Southport to be permitted to close Lord Street to traffic and allow participants to run through the heart of the seaside resort with custom medals and t-shirts for all finishers. There will also be a half-marathon and free family mile event taking place on the day, with organisers hoping to sign up 1,000 local children to take part.

If anyone is interested in taking part in the Southport 10k, visit the website: www.epicevents.co.uk/southport-half-marathon-10km

ENTERTAINMENT

‘Great music’ makes this a must-see show Review by Peter Rimmer Hair The Musical 50th Anniversary Tour Liverpool Empire I RECALL going to the Empire 51 years ago, as a 16 year old, to see the original production of Hair. In fact, I was that impressed, I went a second time in the same week. On reflection, perhaps I went that second time just to try and understand what went on.

Hair, has never really gone away. Productions of the show have been performed many times over the years and of course hit recordings of songs, such as: Aquarius (Fifth Dimension) Aint Got No, I Got Life (Nina Simone) and Good Morning Starshine (Oliver) have keep the music in the public eye over the years.

It’s a show that wouldn’t be commissioned today as it implies that the use of drugs is a fun thing to do, which is rather misleading. However as a piece of history it’s a good night out.

Hair follows a tribe of hippies living in New York City during the Vietnam War. In their commune living, there is free love and plenty of drugs (what fun they must have had). Of course, the shadow of the war creeps over them. The trouble starts as tribe member Claude is conscripted to serve in the army, and the rest of the action is spent trying to get him out of it.

The cast are full of enthusiasm as they

A scene from Avenue Q

A scene from Hair The Musical

perform with vocals that almost lift the ceiling, and with X Factor’s Jake Quickenden as Berger bursting on to stage, the show gets off to great start.

A five piece band are on stage throughout the show, and they play great music. They perform everything from rock to acoustic numbers, and are well led by musical director Gareth Bretherton.

As previously mentioned, the play revolves around Paul Wilkins, as Claude the conscript. He has a great voice and gives the action some real depth as do Natalie Green and Aiesha Pease.

Local girl Kelly Sweeney, playing the part of Crissy, makes the most out of her part and it’s good to see her making inroads

into the world of musical theatre.

But it’s the non-stop singing that makes this an event not to miss.

In the 60s it was seen as a controversial piece of political theatre, but not now, things have moved on and even the onstage nudity is not outrageous and is very quickly over with.

A good crowd turned up for the first night, and plenty of them descended to the stage to join the cast for a final chorus of Let the Sunshine in.

I still don’t quite understand it, and the vision of love overcoming hate still has not come to fruition, but it is well worth buying a ticket to this good slice of nostalgia.

UK’s naughtiest puppets heading to town’s theatre IT’S time for people to find out what all the fuzz is about as the UK’s naughtiest puppets head to Southport Theatre for the very first time in the comedy musical Avenue Q Tuesday 13- Saturday, August 17.

Following five years in the West End, sell-out runs worldwide and smash hit tours in 2014, 2015 and 2016 (packed with mischief, bad behaviour and political incorrectness!) Tony Award-winning Musical, created by Jeff Marx and Robert Lopez, co-creator of Book of Mormon and writer of the songs for Disney’s Frozen, is a tale of the loveable characters on a downtown New York street trying to make sense of life’s burning issues.

Meet Princeton, a bright-eyed graduate who comes to New York City with big dreams and a tiny bank account.

Brian the out-of-work comedian and his therapist fiancée Christmas Eve; Nicky the good-hearted slacker and his closet gay Republican roommate Rod, an Internet ‘sexpert’ called Trekkie Monster, Lucy the Sl*t (the name says it all!) and a very cute kindergarten teacher named Kate Monster.

Featuring funny songs including The Internet is for Porn and Everyone’s A Little Bit Racist, Avenue Q is a musical with a warm (and very fuzzy) heart.

Avenue Q first opened Off-Broad-

way at the Vineyard Theatre in 2003, before transferring to Broadway later that year where it won three Tony Awards for Best Musical, Best Score and Best Book.

In 2006 it transferred to the West End where it ran for five years before touring the UK. It has appeared in more than ten countries all over the world.

Cast includes Megan Armstrong, Jasmine Beel, Ellis Dackombe, Chloe Gentles, Nicholas Mclean, Robbie Noonan, Saori Oda, Cecily Redman, Lawrence Smith, Oliver Stanley and Tom Steedon.

Avenue Q is produced by Selladoor Worldwide (producers of Footloose, Little Shop of Horrors, Flashdance - The Musical and Fame - The Musical), Showtime Theatre Productions and in association with Richard Darbourne Limited.

The show is directed and choreographed by Cressida Carré, designed by Richard Evans, lighting designed by Charlie Morgan Jones and sound designed by Chris Bogg.

Puppets are designed by Paul Jomain of Q Puppets with puppet coaching by Nigel Plaskitt.

Hilarious, cheeky and entertaining, with a cast of 11 talented performers and puppets, Avenue Q is the musical like no other.

To book call 01704 500036 or go online at waterfrontsouthport.co.uk.

Classic musical being staged BOS Musical Theatre Company has been delighting Southport audiences with quality musical theatre since 1959 at the Scala Theatre, Garrick Theatre, Southport Arts Centre and more recently Southport Little Theatre.

And it’s at the Little where their fresh production of Fiddler on the Roof opens this Saturday (May 25) until June 1.

Fiddler on the Roof tells the beloved story of the small, traditionsteeped town of Anatevka, Russia, where Jews and Russians live in delicate balance.

During the course of the show, the time honoured traditions of Anatevka are both embraced and challenged by Tevye and his colourful community, as they witness his daughters, Tzeitel, Hodel and Chava

grow up and fall in love in a time of extraordinary change.

Fiddler on the Roof’s Broadway premiere became the longest-running Broadway musical in history, a title it maintained for almost ten years.

It is a story that captures the essential human longings for love, community, success, freedom family and meaning. Fiddler features iconic songs and the beautiful Sunrise, Sunset, the boisterous If I Were A Rich Man and the classic Matchmaker, Matchmaker.

BOS has gathered members old and new to bring together a sunning rendition of this timeless show.

The production boasts a 10-piece live orchestra, a beautiful set and costumes and the promise of a fabulous night of live theatre.

We will fly to Palma de Mallorca, where you will be met and taken to the ship, and we cruise out firstly to Ibiza, to enjoy the beaches, and the fun this island has to offer, then we cruise on to Naples, where you have the chance to go to Pompeii for the day, or across to Capri. Our next fort of call will be Livorno, where you can visit the amazing town of Florence, and go and see the leaning tower of Pisa! The next day we are in Genoa, home of the Pizza, and you can go to Portofino from here too, then the South of France beckons, with Marseilles providing an amazing place to spend the day, before we cruise back to Palma, and fly home.

Many all-rounders are too ‘everyday’ for me!

I’M GOING to stick my neck out and say it; I reckon that the 7-Series is the only truly cool car in BMW’s current range.

There are plenty of exceptionally talented all-rounders – take a bow, current 5-Series – donning the blueand-white propeller atop their bonnets but nowadays they ’re a bit too everyday, especially when you consider that the 3-Series outsells the Ford Mondeo.

The M2 is a properly focused performance hero of the old school, but it’s also a bit obvious, and while the i8 comes close because it’s a hybrid that just happens to be a supercar with butterfly doors, it’s also a bit too look-at-me to be considered cool.

Oh, and there are plenty of BMWs that don’t even come close.

Who, at a company that’s built its entire reputation on perfectly balanced rear-drivers, thought that the 2Series Active Tourer was a good idea?

But wafting about in a needlessly big, £70,000 BMW, especially when the 5-Series and the X5 offroader already do everything it can for less, takes a particularly devoted sort of owner.

To drive a 7-Series – and you invariably will, because owners tend to take the wheel rather than being chauffeured – you have to walk past the S-Class in the Mercedes showroom over the road, forget the roomier digs of the Range Rover and dismiss

everything made by Jaguar, Lexus and Audi for this sort of money. It’s also the getaway car of choice in Bodyguard, for added petrolhead points.

But why – and I’m not sure if anyone at BMW’s headquarters in Munich gets The Champion delivered – did they have to give the latest version that massively oversized radiator grille?

BMW itself describes it as ‘significantly larger’ than the double-kidney grille fronting the outgoing 7-Series, and points out that it’s now fitted with clever electronic flaps that can open up to give the engine – be it the V12 or, far more likely, the six-pot diesel – an extra hit of cold air when things heat up.

It just about worked on the new X7 off-roader but on here it looks as though someone at BMW spent ages crafting a beautiful radiator grille, phoned over the details to the chaps working on the rest of the car but then got cut off just as he was about to relay over the dimensions.

So it’s a definite nein on the front end but I’ll happily have the rest of it.

While I’m tempted to say the range-topping M760Li is the coolest of the only truly cool car BMW currently makes, simply because no one really needs to have four-wheel-drive and a 6.6-litre V12 with 585bhp, I think the one to go for is the 745e.

That’s the model where you’ll get a petrolpowered straight six – the sort of engine Munich does better than anyone else – and a hybrid electric powerplant, so you can enjoy beautifully balanced BMW handling and glide happily into low emissions areas because you’ve got a hybrid.

You’ll just have to hope that nobody’s looking at that front-end, that’s all.

Bootle’s bowlers put to Stadium move has the sword by Bohannon been considered in first of two cup defeats by Marine bosses FIRWOOD Bootle suffered two defeats last weekend, first in the Ray Digman Trophy to Ormskirk on Saturday, then to Garstan the following day in the Lancashire Cup. Ormksirk’s Josh Bohannon, with an excellent 128 not out from 141 deliveries, put Bootle’s bowling attack to the sword.

He was ably assisted by George Lavelle, with 68 from 70 balls, and Alex Rankin, unbeaten on 39 from 26 chalks, in very productive stands of 125 and 89 unbroken for the second and fourth wicket respectively as Ormskirk amassed a very healthy 267 for 3 from their allocated 45 overs in the first round of the Ray Digman Trophy.

Firwood Bootle’s response saw only four batsmen Will Hale, Neil Williams, Sam Kershaw and Scott Butterworth, reach double figures, as they were removed for a modest 86 after 26 overs to suffer a crushing 181 run defeat.

Tom Hartley 3 for 0 and Josh Bohannon 3 for 9 were the best performers with the ball.

Consistency was the name of the game for Garstang on Sunday throughout their innings as they posted a competitive 233 for 9 from their allocated 45 overs in the Lancashire Foundation Knockout first round tie.

Scott Butterworth 3 for 43 and Jhangir Liaqat 4 for 27 were the pick of the bowlers.

Garstang’s Danny Gilbert, 4 for 37, and Greg Bishop, 1 for 40, dismantled Bootle’s early order reducing them to a disappointing 31 for 4.

Despite a defiant fifth wicket stand of 89 between Danny Davies, 44, and Neil Wiiliams 51, the writing appeared to be on the wall. Jhangir Liaqat, 12, Jamie Siddall, 36, Kieran New, 16, and 12 pen-

alty runs for a slow over rate added some respectability guiding Bootle to 213 all out at stumps but still a 20 run reversal.

This coming weekend Bootle take on Colwyn Bay in the Premier League at Wadham Road on Saturday and the next day host Wallasey in the Royal London Cup. Elswhere in the Ray Digman Trophy Ainsdale beat Sefton Park by 68 runs at the Ainsdale club, the hosts made 201-9 off their 45 overs with Mark Lucas 59 and Connor Windell 47 top scoring, whilst Tim Young took 4-41. In reply, Sefton were dismissed for 133 with the wickets shared between all five bowlers.

Formby beat Leigh by seven wickets, Finnegan Hulbert 48 top scored for Leigh who were dismissed for 200, with skipper Elliot Ketteringham claiming 4-39 and Ollie Sutton 3-30. In reply, Sutton top scored with 78, James Seward hit 52 and Sam Oldham an unbeaten 20* as Formby eased to victory in the 32nd over on 202-3.

Southport & Birkdale lost by six wickets to Colwyn Bay, Will Affleck 42, Tom Baybutt 32 and Chris Cunningham 30* took S&B to 171-8, before Adam Campion 57 laid the foundation for the Welshmen who eased to victory in the 29th over on 172-4. l Firwood Bootle Belles smashed all three of their first fixtures in the L&DCC Women’s Softball League which was held on Sunday and played at Maghull CC against Colwyn Bay, Liverpool and Maghull.

Hannah Gallimore took a fabulous one handed catch on the boundary off her mum Nicola’s bowling while Jackie Westhead bowled a treble wicket maiden.

The next fixtures will be played on Sunday, June 9 at Northern CC.

Medew-Ewen claims five wickets as Maghull overcome Spring View IN the Ray Tyler Cup, Maghull had a four wicket home win against Spring View.

Lewis Matthews top scored with 44 as the visitors were bowled out for 122, with young Australian Joe Medew-Ewen taking 528.

In reply, Joe Campbell hit an unbeaten 29* as the hosts eased to 124-6 in the 31st over to wrap up victory.

Hightown St Mary’s lost by two wickets to Old Xaverians at Sandy Lane.

The hosts managed to put 160-8 together thanks in no small part to Jayden

Schadendorf 36, Wade Williams 32 and Joel Barlow 23, whilst Josh Dilworth took 4-31 with the ball.

In reply, the visitors sealed victory in the 44th over on 161-8.

Burscough lost at home by six wickets against Newton le Willows, Lee Berrie 55 was the only Burscough batsman to reach double figures as they were dismissed for 107, with Sam Guest 3-13 and Nathan Hughes 3-29 shining with the ball In reply, the visitors recovered from 14-3 to wrap up victory on 111-4 with Rameez Alam

unbeaten on 39*.

Southport Trinity put in their best batting performance of the season to beat Sutton by seven wickets at the Rookery, Jack York hit an unbeaten 67* as Sutton posted 219-6 up on the board with Mark Prince 332 and skipper Craig Prince 3-46 shared the wickets.

In reply, Trinity who were watched by a large crowd including former Watford striker Stuart Rimmer and local football programme collector Michael Robson eased to victory on 221-3, thanks to an unbeaten 86* from Craig Prince and 74 from Wim Van Der Walt.

THIS weekend’s local LDCC fixtures (1pm): Bootle v Colwyn Bay, Formby v Lytham, Ormskirk v Northern, Rainhill v Southport & Birkdale, Ainsdale v Old Xaverians, Fleetwood Hesketh v Wigan, Alder v Burscough, Hightown St Mary’s v Southport Trinity and Spring View v Maghull.

MARINE FC bosses have promised fans they will “review everything” following their relegation – and that includes the possibility of building a new stadium elsewhere in Crosby or installing an artificial pitch at their current ground.

At a recent fans forum held at the Marine Travel Arena (MTA), chief executive James Leary told supporters the club will do everything it can to earn an instant promotion next season and he wants to improve things both on and off the pitch.

One of the surprise talking points in the meeting was the prospect of moving to a new ground – as work continues this summer to upgrade the Marine Travel Arena following years of fundraising by the club.

Following the fans forum, a lengthy report has been published by Marine showing details of each discussed issue.

The Champion will publish details of the meeting and focus on different talking points over the next few weeks.

The report states: “Is the MTA the stadium we want to be playing at for the next 50/100 years?

“If the answer is no, what other locations are there? Is the land available?

“If the answer is yes, how can we move forward so that there is no limit and ceiling to where the club could go?

“Since I can remember there has been a stigma and limit to how high the club can progress.

“This stifles ambitions and kills dreams. We need to believe and dream that one day we can get to whatever level we can without knowing that we can only get one promotion and that’s the ceiling.

“What changes therefore need to be made so that we can have the structure and facilities to play at any level of football?

“In all of my searches for land which involved many meetings, I believe there is only one location in Crosby which is a perfect site for Marine to move to.

“That site is now not available as a site for a full ground move which was disappointing for me as I had a financial model which I thought worked to

finance it and believed it was a great opportunity and would have increased our income substantially.

“So in the absence of a move, how can we build a structure worthy of a team that could compete at the top of the Conference North?

“What stadium changes do we need? Do we look to a 3G solution either at the ground or on an external hub site? I have identified two sites that could be used as a sports hub and are having talks now with the landowners and other parties.

“Sefton is the only council area in the country which doesn’t have a single new full size 3G pitch (or 4G as most people refer to it).”

Meanwhile, Marine have confirmed that club captain Danny Mitchley has been listed in the transfer window.

The striker made 46 appearances last season, scoring seven goals. He also contributed to Marine's woeful scoring ratio from penalties, after he missed four from the spot.

JOE Doran has confirmed that he will be remaining as firstteam manager of Bootle next season, writes Connor O’Neill.

As revealed in the Champion two weeks ago, Doran was asked to stay on in his current role, having led the club to a second place finish in the Hallmark Security League Premier Division.

Doran, who had previously managed the club for five seasons, took back control of all first-team affairs following the Joe Doran. resignation of Phil Stafford back in October and oversaw a remarkable 21-game unbeaten run.

He told the club's website: “I've had a lot of questions since the season finished, but I am delighted to confirm I will be continuing as manager with the full support of both the committee and those closest to me.

“Our end to the season brought plenty of mixed emotions for me. But one thing is for sure, I couldn’t have been any prouder for everyone involved with the club.

“Of course, the coaching staff and players deserve credit for the incredible performances

on the pitch, but in my eyes, it was a real club effort.

“From the committee to our loyal supporters, everyone played their part.”

The 36-year-old added: “When I came back in October, my initial aim was to try and improve results.

“I also asked the lads to restore some pride back into the shirt and club.

“Unfortunately, the final league game against Northwich Victoria proved to be a step too far.

“I could sit here now and blame a few things, but the truth is we gave everything we had, but we just didn’t have enough to get that elusive winner.

“I can’t knock the players in any way, though.

“Like I told them after the game, the two objectives I set them when I came back in we more than achieved.

“People have also asked me will it be hard to pick the lads up again ahead of next season?

“Truthfully, I don’t think it will. We have a very talented bunch here, and I hope they will all stay with us. In my eyes, the disappointment of the final day should spur us on to go one better next year.”

Striker Danny Mitchley has been put on the transfer list.
