The wall and rear of stand are looking great now the painting has been done. I assume some of the adverts will return which will take the edge of the tidy appearance but needs must.

Well done to the painting team! (And indeed all the ground volunteers.)

Once again we have to thank supporters for their generosity.
Yesterday’s Russ’s/Trust raffle winner, Michael Thomason very kindly donated a large chunk of his winnings to the GMA kitty.
Last week Ray Maguire gave me £50 to buy all the volunteers a drink when we’re allowed back, under normal circumstances that would’ve been dropped straight into the kitty but Ray insisted it was as a thank you to everyone.

Many thanks to both Ray & Mike for their donations.
We didn't underestimate them, we just didn't think they were that good.

Can you please stop being so tight with the cash?
Being frugal is fine but these little bitty jars of coffee etc you buy are not on!! 😂
We are catering for 20 to 28 people with 2 brews per morning. We will be drawing lots next for who can have a brew.😣
Many thanks again to Marian Else for her home baking contribution. These lads and lasses are being spoilt--- next thing they will be wanting full English, but not from me they won't.
A great camaraderie around the ground from a happy busy work force makes for a great mornings work. Everyone working hard but the painters on Holker St were absolutely covered in that paint. It even gets through the rubber gloves.
We have a long way to go yet but we keep pluging away
The 2 special workers had their first and last extra brew( because they had started early) as they were told to keep it quiet so then proceeded outside to stand in full view drinking it. I was harangued by another section of workers. A red card caution was delivered along with a sharp blast of the whistle.
We go again next week.

Bigger jars cost more, you can’t paint a wall with coffee, well actually I know someone who might try...

Well it depends where you shop. It is false economy cos you will be buying one every week.

I'm a little confused I thought the turnstiles were going to be where the Nodding gate was located but they seem to be at the other end of the fan zone.

The nodding gate as a turnstile is no more.

Can anybody else clear that up for me. Not the location. More where will we be coming into and from? Is there new access behind the popular side or from Asda!!
