Basically you walk through the nodding gate into the fanzone.
Fanzone has a bar, inside and outside seating, inside and outside televisions, inside and outside toilets
Through the fanzone and through the turnstiles into the ground.
There's a big gate between the fanzone and the ground which will be opened at half time & full time

Those turnstiles confuse me so you can only enter the fan zone nodding gate then go.into ground via turnstiles what if you enter via pop side cant you go in the fan zone until half time

With obviously no fans being allowed in for a while yet how far are we off being compliant. I know obviously there are also a lot off non essentials works being done ect with regards to painting and general sprucing up work.

And a final few from today before the big KO. A proper hive of activity, practice goals getting assembled, PPS lad fitting gates, some technical stuff with wires going on in the match day control room, advertising boards put up, interior of the building undergoing final preps and pitch getting its final touches....a mad hectic day.

Firstly. Many thanks to everyone who has donated to our account. We can see the amounts but we cant see who it's from.
Had to draw out a fair amount this week to pay for materials we have bought and with the donations it really helps us. Thank You

Quite a few missing today.
Painting progressed inside the ground and also outside Holker Street.
Ground was cleared after yesterdays game as well as materials around the ground.
Electrics started in our new workshop.
Storeroom progressed.
Thanks to Elaine who kept us fed and watered.

Many thanks to the person who donated three larger jars of coffee (larger than the one Ebeneezer Rainford buys for me) and left them at the club.
Very much appreciated.
A good mornings work carried out by 18 or so willing hands.

Can anyone explain why this caging is there at the turnstiles?

What’s the need?

Guess I’m just not getting it :cry:

Three jars Elaine? Right you can up it from a third of a spoonful to a flat one each.

The sugar stays the same, we’re on a health kick.

Away fans toilets and area, caged off so they can’t mingle with the good supporters in the main stand.

Quite surprised we are allowed to have those concrete walls round the perimeter off the pitch must be a pain to paint every year nobody suggested knocking them down and using soft style barriers like fylde

I think you may have been given dispensation to keep them for a couple of years as i know a condition of getting the 500k Accy got for the new stand was that the walls they used to have similar to yours were replaced.

Accy went with a lightweight fencing system where all you do is to buy off the shelf the correct number of sections, posts and gates, they did all 4 sides over a couple of years

A few more from today.

The two new concrete bases for the new refreshment cabins on the popular side. And the yellow walkways being painted in by Kris W’s lads.
