Dear Editor,
It’s been over six months since the Albion Sports Complex ground had been relayed and planted with grass. In fact, the grass had grown so tall that it has had to be slashed a couple of times. So, the condition of the outfield is in excellent condition.
Editor, the problem is that work has since ceased and the contractor is nowhere in sight. The wooden stands are falling down, and residents of Albion and surrounding areas are wondering what is going on.
For the past couple of months, we have had excellent weather, and the people had been hoping that the project would have been far advanced, so that we can have international cricket early next year.
At a meeting I attended at the JC Chandisingh High School a few months ago, I asked the Vice President if he could shed some light on when the Albion Sports Complex would be ready for international cricket, and he replied that he was not in a position to answer the question, but we need to ask the Minister of Sports, Charles Ramson, who should be updating the public on that project.
So, I would like to take this opportunity to publicly ask the Minister of Sports to please give cricket fans and the general public an update on when the Albion Sports Complex would be ready for international cricket.
Fans are anxiously waiting to see cricket again at this ground, where the first ever one-day international match in the West Indies was played in 1977. Hoping to hear from you soon, Minister Ramson.
Yours faithfully,
Imtiaz Baccus
