Good job the old Floodlights have been removed! Glad no one injured.... Mr Casson must be truly thrilled tonight.

Need a bit more than cellotape for that job mate....

Just been down to let the fire brigade have a look inside. There's plenty of strange noises whizzing around inside the ground so it might not have finished yet. Hard to see exactly how big it is but it's fair to say it's a fairly large chunk.

The section that has come off is the piece above the B in the main stand, that's now lying at the far end of Wilkie Rd.

The Soccer bar car park looked very busy, so we've been very lucky no one was walking or driving past.
My wife was driving past and a corrugated sheet flew past the front of her car.

Looks like a huge chunk missing when i went past earlier. Be interesting to see how the club/Casson deals with this.

Insurance? We will have such as the ground requires such to operate as an entertainment venue. It will get sorted. A statement from our club tomorrow will reassure.

Time to put this one to bed. I know them Pine Rd area lads are tough but a corrugated sheet, come off it! Would liked to of seen the mum who pegged that on the line after brushing it down and hosing it of this morning.
