Football, table tennis, badminton and speakers clubs all use the venue which could close on October 1 without support
A young football team and their coach are among a growing number of people who want to save a community centre from closure by Falkirk Council .
Jamie, from Wallacestone, says the venue is perfect for the very young players, giving them lots of room to play football without getting cold or wet.The huge games hall is overlooked by a lounge with large windows where parents can watch the action. "But now I want to use it for my kids and I want it to stay open so that other people can use it too."
In July, they took a big step forward by becoming a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation , which a vital part of the legal process. Ultimately, they know the only chance of keeping it open is if it is used more and their message is: 'use it or lose it'. However, Jamie firmly believes that some of the overheads - such as the current energy bill of £70,000 a year - could be reduced drastically once the ownership transfers to the community.
