Vera, i'm glad thats done because i could'nt defend myself anymore, i am out of words.

What was said in Brian's half time interview re the roof? I didnt hear the interview and havent seen any other reference to it?

 

As I said once before anyway - who knows the reasons why we are not patching up the ground again? Is money being saved with a view to revamping the whole ground/ building a new ground?

 

We shall probably not know until anything like that becomes a done deal.

 

Mind you, talking of new grounds, there was an interesting thred on Confguide the other day regarding successes/ failures of clubs building new grounds and it was noted that a fair few of them suffered on the pitch, or simply struggled to make ends meet financially as a result of it - so I'd rather stick with what we have if it means we achieve success on the pitch.

 

The real downside I guess, is that the state of the ground can put people off coming - especially the hole in the roof - A new/ improved ground can potentially bring greater numbers into games (Telford's large increase in attendances this season being an obvious example, albeit that they've now had financial problems anyway)

The hole is a total pain in the [****!!****]. But I am glad of the monmey given to fleet by sky earlier in the season.

It has been there for absolutely ages though, and I agree, maybe not enough is being done about it. They could have put a bottle in the bar where people can cough up loose change towards the roof repair. Surely it won't be that expensive???

Surely it's better to wait until the end of the saeson when there will be time to replace the whole roof rather than just do a patch-up job.

[old git]

when they put a new roof on the whole stand can we leave a hole so when we are on sky next year it wont be a problem especialy as we should atract sky more often after this years results against the so called bigger sides

Just put a trapdoor in......... <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/alk.gif" alt="" />

[John@TheFleet]

It has its advantages, though. You can look through it and see the ball more often......... <img src="/images/graemlins/top.gif" alt="" />

There was a great design idea for a tv platform up at forest greens ground, better that interfering with the roof.
