LOCAL FOOTBALL CLUB TO BE SHUT DOWN
A local football club is set to be shut down due to the finances being poor. Heath Panthers was founded in 1987 and has been based at Thrift Road Recreation Ground in Heath and Reach, with a junior section attached.
The club has had its ups and downs over the years, including a pitch invasion by moles, and this time the Football Association and local league has blown the final whistle on what it sees as unacceptable playing facilities.
Three senior teams have been running this season and the club now has until June 30 to either sort out the problems or find an alternative premises or they will not be able to play in the 2011/2012 season.
