'Small hockey clubs are dying in Ipoh'
Is that so? Apparently some of the complaints are; "Funds being blocked" and "unable to book pitch (Sultan Azlan Shah hockey stadium) despite no one using them". The excuse that smaller clubs can't use the pitch; "They could spoil it." A blog follower asked; "Can they do such things?" I'm unsure to who 'they' are here. But - if true that is - perhaps the Perak HA, the folks managing the stadium and even the Perak State Sports Council could shed some light. Clubs are the best way to promote sports and once again - if such claims are true - then it will only frustrate development at the lower levels. Hmm... HD says: Must visit Ipoh soon....
