The Sports Centre, referred to by students as "The Tent", was originally set up as a temporary venue for sports while a more permanent facility was constructed. The council understood that it would be operative from its 2005 creation until July this year, but progress in replacing it has been slow.
An application to extend the lifespan of The Tent until 2020 was rejected, leading to genuine concern among its users about the future of several sports clubs at the university, including netball and fencing. The tent is also relied on by local schools, and its closure would make it close to impossible for many university students and school pupils to play sport on a regular basis.
Relief therefore seeped through the sporting veins of Fulford and York today as the council granted an extension of The Tent's existence until 2016, on the condition that steps are made towards a permanent sports centre.
Stick with the The Yorker boys and girls, and we'll keep you posted on any more developments.
