What is actually underneath the stand at present just rooms filled with rubbish? Are there any used rooms at presentHolkerbird wrote: ↑Thu Aug 27, 2020 10:40 pm The changing rooms are not being done by the volunteers. It is too big a job for us. Clearing all the junk that is dumped under there is a mammoth task for starters.

Yes I’d be really keen to see what’s underneath there.

from the steelworks end to the middle of the stand is a large open area filled with all the stuff that ian and his team are moving out, then from the middle to the holker st end is the directors lounge, a smaller room for assessors and other guests, and other amenities.

As Benny said. Currently under the main stand is the Maintenance area.
Workbenches and storage areas. Old Advertising signs/Wood/Paint/steelworks etc. Also the laundry room.
Other side is away directors lounge. Kitchen and male/female toilets.
All are being stripped out to give us Home and away changing rooms/showers. Officials changing rooms. Physio rooms and medical centre.
There are other plans if/When the main stand is extended.

There's a pile of junk under the half of the stand which isn't accessable to the directors area.
Old advertising boards, chairs, tables that were used for the fun days etc and anything else that was no longer used but never disposed of. A lot of junk.
The floor tiles of the bath area is still visible in some places. A bit Romanesque.
The directors rooms are used at half time and maybe for a short time after the game I think but no longer used for pre game dining as before.
It wasn't ideal due to having no windows or decent ventilation but served a purpose.
Changing rooms reverting back to where they used to be in our former footballing days means we have come full circle.
Plus players red carded won't have to walk the long walk of shame now.

Two from today.
The toilet blocks in position outside the fanzone, and the new GMA lock-up being dropped in place.

We didn't underestimate them, we just didn't think they were that good.

The silver one has hinge brackets on it. Perhaps a gate to allow fans in at half time?
