About 25 frustrated community club members converged on the House of Assembly yesterday morning as a sign of "physical solidarity'' against the threat of possible eviction from their home ground.

Devonshire Colts Community Club secretary Mr. Stanford Bean said they were there because they expected Government to transfer ownership of Frog Lane and the adjoining lands to the National Stadium Trust during the day's session.

If this happened, said Mr. Bean, the club expected to be kicked off the land which would ruin the second half of their 1995/96 youth programme. And he threatened that if a letter came from the trust telling the club to move off the land then "legally we will have to but we will not move physically or mentally until we are accommodated''.

Mr. Bean said the club had received letters from the trust over the last five years which had asked them to move their programme off the Frog Lane field but they had stayed because the trust did not own the land.

If the trust now had the legal right to kick them off the field then the club would be forced to move to an alternative location which would not be viable.

Mr. Bean explained that Government had offered them Garrison Field in St.

George's but he was worried about the junior teams in the club because the move would mean the youth division players would have to travel from the central parishes to the east end in order to train and play.

The move was equally unfair on the players' parents who had to take their children to practice because there were not any other means of transport, continued Mr. Bean.

If the Bill transferring ownership of the lands was to be passed then the club would like to see some provisions in it which would assist them, added Mr.

Bean. There were a number of alternatives that could be taken instead of forcing the club to move to St. George's, he said.

One of his ideas was to move the North Village Community Club's youth soccer programme from Berkeley Institute's school field to Dellwood Primary's school field. This would allow members of Devonshire Colts youth programme to train at Berkeley Institute.

And it would also put North Village's youth and senior programmes next door to one another and remove the need for Devonshire Colts' young players and their parents to have to travel to St. George's.

Mr. Bean said he wanted to go on the record as a community club which felt "that the former US and Canadian Base lands hold far more potential for a National Stadium-type village than the present site does because of their size, seclusion and the infrastructure which is already in place there.'' He said his argument was strengthened by the new "mega-school'' which was going up in Prospect that could use the National Stadium field which was already in place. That way, he said, Devonshire Colts could stay put and continue to co-exist with the present National Stadium.

RED CARD - Six-year-old Blaine Lambe is just one of the players in Devonshire Colts youth programme who wants to stay at Frog Lane.
