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

A couple of the ongoing work on the away fans turnstile after being completely demolished last week. The two turnstiles themselves have been stripped back to bare metal and will be given a coat of red oxide before their final coat of paint.

Some more walls being freshened up with a coat of paint....obviously medium Al started getting creative as the morning wore on, while Doug took the more professional approach!
Also the windows going in on the new storeroom which is now starting to be used for storage of various materials.

A beautiful morning weather wise and once more a fantastic turnout of 24/25 people and that’s with a few regulars unavailable this week.

Loads of painting ongoing on various parts of the ground, inside and out. This is a job we’re trying to cut down on because of 1/ the cost and 2/ it’s never ending but if it’s been painted previously it has to be kept on top of.
The new storeroom is getting closer to being finished by Darren & Nick who have been doing a really professional job on it.
Our new GMA lock-up is in its final position and has had its exterior spruced up.
The away fans turnstiles are really coming together now, it was only one week ago they were demolished and in two visits they’re looking very decent. The retirees have done a superb job of taking off all the years and years worth of old paint during the week, they’ll really look the part when repainted (the turnstiles, not the retirees)
The female officials changing room is having the electrics fitted now (Whitty) after a week of joinery & plumbing (IRVJ) and plastering (capman and Rob) going on in there.
Our reserve cleaner gave the main stand a good sweep & tidy up.
Fed and watered by Elaine as usual with an added treat of fresh scones & jam made by Marion. A great group of people.

PS, capman never sold a card or 1901 😉

Brilliant truely Brilliant to see these updates for a proper old school community club, Impressed by the many varied improvements all over the ground.

Tell Cols, He needs a roller instead of that toothbrush he’s painting with 🤗

Well I have won the card two weeks on the run so I think the Serious Fraud Office have him under investigation. As he picks my teams I absolve myself from any wrong doing. 😦
