So BRASS wants to replace the current Barnet FC ground with a swimming pool, gymnasium and tennis courts (Co-operation needed for progress at Underhill', Times Letters, June 27).
It was never clear why residents would fight the construction of a football ground on a site where the public has no right of access and any pleasure derived from the cricket ground is purely visual.
If BRASS is content to accept the traffic volumes the proposed complex would produce (strangely one of the chief objections to the south Underhill development), then the council should keep everybody happy by building a new stadium at south Underhill and the sports complex on the site of the existing football ground.
The youth of the area have waited too long for facilities many across Britain take for granted.
