Well, after years of requests and calls for the Maniramjohn Stadium to be upgraded,
00:05
Simplex Athletics coach Gunniss Poussard is finally getting his wish.
00:09
Minister of Sport and Youth Affairs Philip Watts visited the Maniramjohn Stadium today
00:14
to assess the facility's current state.
00:17
The minister met with athletes from various clubs who regularly train at the stadium.
00:21
He observed the condition of the track and field as well as the facility
00:25
and gave a statement on his Facebook page,
00:27
which indicated that he acknowledged the need for urgent improvements
00:31
and pledged to restore the stadium to full operation.
00:35
It's welcome news for the 80-year-old Simplex coach.
00:38
I feel delighted that he visited the stadium
00:41
and had a full-time view of the challenges, coaches and artists at the venue.
00:47
Based on the above, we expect to see repairs to the roof of the covered stand
00:52
so it can facilitate pit run at our games.
00:56
Also repair to the track, toilet facility, lighting and new gym equipment.
01:02
Further, we expect to see overall improvement in the continuous maintenance of the facilities.
01:08
Meantime, a team from the Sport TT accompanied by councillors
01:12
paid a follow-up visit to the Shoguanas Regional Indoor Sporting Facility earlier this week
01:17
to get an idea of costing to repair it.
01:19
Councillor for Kunupia Richard Sukdio gave an idea about the areas that they intended to repair.
01:25
Some of the things he highlighted were the floor, the painting, the windows,
01:29
the washrooms of course, the fans, the basketball, the backslap.
01:35
Those are the major items presently that I need of repairs to get this facility up and going.
01:40
A costing is expected to be revealed in the coming months.
01:42
