Is this not the best club ever
Wow what a huge diff we've made in sutch a short
Space of time think the fans will love it
When we've finished it'll look like old Trafford

Better tell Ian he bought blue paint not red then

[Tomnoddy]

no need for hung drawn and quartered,
unless its by Elaine in those green wellies and yellow rubber gloves!!!

Is she offering? I'll be down

Also waiting for a quote from a firm for 8 x 4 sheets of 4 mm acrylic for the tunnel covering...could be expensive...anyone else in the know in these areas?
If we cover the tunnel in clear sheeting, this will allow fans to stand in that area during matches and satisfy FA and H&S requirements

Thinking about that Tommy, if it's THAT expensive I wonder how it'd looked done in the left over blue cladding?

No replies on the plaque sponsorship for the X bar end, anyone interested?

If you'll allow me I'll buy a plaque for the X bar end and donate it to you guys to do with what you will.

Very good of you Tomnoddy (your second I do believe )

You would definitely be allowed....we'll take anyone just drop me a PM with what you'd like on it.

There we go, we're off the mark....whose next?

Are we seriously suggesting putting cladding on the steelworks/crossbar end I don't think it would look IMO. Maybe we should save the spare pieces for Holker street end repairs?

[mickmike wilson]

Hope this cladding is sturdy enough to withstand the odd wayward rocket shot & punters don't kick them etc, can not wait to see the pictures when the signage goes up.

Well done all volunteers who have kept the club not only awake during the off season but actually getting things done.

It was asked about Chris so as in most things that people ask us to look in to - we will.

If people don't want it - we won't do it. It's not our money it's the supporters so we'll only do what the majority agree with. As with most suggestions, we'll stick them up here to sort of gauge the response.

How would the wall being extended another three foot grab you?

I think the main reason we're looking into this is there are quite a few people who stand there & get battered by the weather in Autunm/Winter.



Friday afternoon or Sunday morning painting anyone? A final push before the season starts would be good even if it's your one & only visit, three hours that's all.

I'll do the wall mate

We'll be there from 12:30 - 1:00ish Tommy.

What are we doing about that extra bit of gravel we need? I've paid up at Neil Price's for all the other stuff & Debbie just said collect what else we need & she'll get the bill to me.

I'm struggling to visualise where the cladding will go on the Xbar end.

[mickmike wilson]

I'm struggling to visualise where the cladding will go on the Xbar end.

The idea as far as I know was to place them on the 6ft wall to add a few extra feet in height as a weather protection type deal.

That's the one.

Don't know about this one yet, quite a few who either come down to help out or just don't post on here seem pretty happy with it but it's only getting a lukewarm response on here......

Suppose the deciding factor will be how many plaques people want (or don't) or whether people just let us know they dont want it.

I had a look at this last Friday and the wall at present is around 4 ft high and 62 blocks long(blocks are large ones around 18 x 8 " with 2 square cavities in them)
To raise the wall to 7 ft will take around 250 of these blocks and this will protect from the wind and rain
I spoke to Al Whittaker and Tommy about the cost of 250 of these blocks and it will be interesting to see what they come back with.
Plaques could even go onto the blue and white pained raised 7 ft wall if material costs are too much.....maybe the college lads could get involved in this after September

[HenneysKnee]

Raising the wall would be helpful, but would cladding then be needed as well?

That sort of job would be spot on for the Furness college trainee brickies
