Shame the Club couldn’t get hot running water and soap in the toilets today.  At the best of times facilities at the Club are poor but with hygiene high on the agenda and virus prevention the club’s response was non-existent for the 5k who attended.

Driving home crawled the kerbs of the East Marsh trying to imagine the new ground. I can’t see it ever being built there, the area is an absolute mess. I don’t think a football stadium will help that part of town, there is little community left, just a war zone controlled by crime.


Yes it takes a huge leap of faith to imagine anything rising from the rubble that is Freeman Street. All we know so far is a YMCA building and 4 stands and open corners somewhere behind the market.

I think we can safely say it will be another generation that sees any transformation of the East Marsh become reality.

I find it difficult to understand why you would undergo demolition work before any precise plans are in place. Low cost housing should be the number one priority, but I have not seen anything mentioned.

First time you have ever been to BP or first time you have ever used the facilities ?

If you are as concerned about the corona virus as you appear then surely you could have anticipated and prepared , brought your own antibacterial wipes to not only cover your use of the toilets but all your other public place movements.

The Winter Gardens, Ramsdens and the Clifton Bingo Hall spring to mind.


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

Croxton:-
You are both right but, in truth, gels, sprays, antibacterial wipes and disposal bins should be available at various locations in the ground as well as in toilet areas. Apart from the chill, I wore gloves so I could use the handrails but I forgot my manners when I lost it with the ref and sprayed bile and spittle all over rows F and D in the upper.
Seriously, extra conditions for all public events should be mandatory after emergency legislation next week. I visit at least two elderly high risk relatives each time I visit BP. Neither have much immunity left. The least we can do is clean our hands.

Probably easier to sell if any buildings are already demolished


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

So it was you down Rutland Street wearing a mask.  Now I can sleep tonight.

Personal responsibility to take care of your own hygiene. In my experience there is always running water, towels, loo roll at the ground...soap can be a bit hit and miss though to be totally honest.
There could be a lesson for the club , have a pre match check on all soap dispensers, provisions etc but i would think they do this anyway given i rarely find them lacking.
if you are that seriously concerned about what may be in place then have your own back up plan and if anyone is that seriously concerned about corona virus then i am suprised they are not carrying their own gel/wipes/gloves/tissues to comply with best advice anyway.

I hope the original poster never visits other grounds...running water is the least of your worries.

And with all due respect, I’ve been to wembley numerous times and on occasions even they’ve lacked soap and bog roll...

No point moaning though, there’s a thread that’s multiple pages on here about a new ground...don’t get excited that BP get anything like any improvements, one must remember we are throwing all our eggs and anything else we can find in to the new stadium....


'the poor and the needy are selfish and greedy'...well done Mozza

With enough support antisocial behaviour and other crimes can be mostly eradicated even in the most deprived areas hence from reading past real life examples and being to places myself in the world where crime is at a minimum.

Riby Street or under the flyover are the best places for that sort of thing (so I've been told).
