A Paisley football club have hit out after their pristine pitches in Abbotsinch were used as “dumping ground” during a major construction job.
Gleniffer Thistle have demanded answers after agreeing to temporarily vacate the parks – which they lease from the airport – for Renfrewshire Council’s Glasgow Airport Investment Area (GAIA) project only to see them scattered with rubble and left to become overgrown.
The club, who haven’t been able to use the land since the end of 2019, have forked out to hire alternative facilities for training and matches for the hundreds of players in their ranks, which they estimate has cost between £50,000 and £80,000.
