Think a barrow afc mural would look very fitting on that holker street wall. Or even a modern day ode to the barrow rule the third graffiti perhaps??

Loads of memorial style work going in the Fanzone soon. I know loads of work is being out in to make it a good representation of our history.

Fantastic to see the stadium transformed from looking so run down to so neat and tidy. Brilliant job by the board and the volunteers.

for the fanzone, this would be a great idea

Those old turnstiles are incredible. Think they could go somewhere to be made a feature of.

I think there are plans to use these as table tops in the fanzone. A great idea.

absolutely fantastic idea

At home for my office I’ve created a table with all my sports tickets underneath toughened glass. Something like this is quite a cheap and effective way to decorate.

Yes credit due to someone, a good idea! How many have we managed to save E, must be 10 or so? Great if they can be used in the fanzone.
There’s some weight in them though! Do they need to be grit blasted and painted up?

I can't figure who you mean Ian? They deserve an open top bus ride through the town whoever suggested this

By 'table tops' do you actually mean using them on top of a table or as a base for a table?

It was one of them moments, they don’t come often....as we were all stood talking one Sunday morning (there’s a lot of that goes on..) We were leaning on some of the turnstiles and putting cans of pop on them. That’s it, simple, put them to use outside the fanzone under the canopy roof.
WG, that answers your question as well doesn’t it?

We didn’t think they’d need grit blasting as there’s years and years worth of various shades of blue on them. Just a rub down and seal them with some sort of clear varnish. Club history saved and put to a good use.
Not sure how many there will be because most will be being used with some sort of electronic counter attached for a while yet.

The shear volume of work that has gone on at the ground this closed season is absolutely unreal with more still to come. I never thought id say it but holker street is starting to look quite tidy again. Do I dare ask the plans once all the work is done to pull us up to standard. With the crossbar being improved the year before. Are you lot doing the changing rooms in the main stand or is the being done by wilkes lot?

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.
