Toolstation NCEL Division One side Teversal are calling on the public's help to try and keep their home, Teversal Grange, open in its current guise.

In a statement, the Carnarvon Street side said: "The future of the site has seen lengthy discussions and questions over the years in how best to manage the site.

"Teversal Football Club have decided to go public in their battle to get the answers to prevent an iconic local facility being bulldozed and lost forever.

"However, it has become apparent that we have now past the eleventh hour as the local residents have received notice saying that the demolition is to start on Monday 26th January, 2015.

"We want to save the Teversal Grange and with the ?120,000 Ashfield District Council are planning on spending to demolish it and put up cricket facilities, we would refurbish it and use the income to fund the site's charitable needs and to maintain and provide the best sporting and community facilities.

"The council wants to pull the Grange down and charge each of the four users - the Teversal Visitors Centre, cricket, bowls and football club - on the site for a lease to provide an income to maintain the rest of the site without any structure in place for this happen or any other income source.

"We want to refurbish the Grange and provide a small profit to maintain it instead and still provide leases to the four users and work with them to further develop the site to enhance the site and their organisations.

"The council have given no logical reason as to why they intend to pull it down so we need help to fight this decision which may be legally and definitely morally wrong.

"The easiest way to help is to sign our petition and get all your friends, family and work colleagues to do so to by clicking on the link: SAVE THE TEVERSAL TRUST & GRANGE.

"We also plead for any help you may offer in this battle, solicitors, lawyers, specialists in Charity Commission processes or simply any guidance that will help us be successful in our mission to save our Community Asset that not only effects the football club but also cricket, bowls, the Teversal Visitors Centre and also one of the major entries to the Teversal Trails for horse riders, dog walkers, cyclists and runners.

"We thank you in anticipation of your support and hope we save OUR COMMUNITY SITE."
