Quoted from rancido



As far as " shitey old floodlights " is concerned , without them the club can't stage matches - simple as that! It's also got nothing to do with the ground manager. Age and corrosion will always take their toll on metal structures The metal structures are old and , as far as I know , have been condemned for use after the end of this season. They were second hand when we originally got them and I do believe the existing structures date from 1960 . The club maybe eligible for a grant from the FL or FA and it is worth noting that the supporters club paid for their upgrade in 1960.


Very good point. If expressed as a stark choice between raising the money/cutting the playing budget/groundsharing with Scunny I reckon people will cough up. Unless the magic money tree fairy bestows her blessings upon us and says we get El Stadio de Freemo in 2 years.


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 why hasn’t the ground manager recommended that they were changed before they got to the stage that they’ll be condemned in six months time?

Because he is right up Fentys @rse and daren’t suggest spending money until it is imperative.


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

I suppose they only want to spend the bare minimum on BP, as very soon we will be in the new shiny Fentydome, Extreme are just putting the finishing touches prior to building works to start.

I don’t but the suggestion was that the structural integrity of the floodlights has nothing to do with stadium manager. It quite obviously does have something to do with him otherwise we’re relying on being tipped off by fans or structural engineers passing the ground on the train that the floodlights look to be damaged beyond repair.

We can’t stage matches without a pitch either, but I’m loathe to ask fans to dip into their pockets for grass seed because some fuccker is already paid to look after that. What does everyone’s ticket money pay for if not the absolute basics to get a football club functioning?

Do we need flood lights .....with the massive advances in bulbs in recent years could we no put power full banks off lights on top off each the stands  directed at the pitch ......then if new stadium is built they could be moved there


Mr Fenty is ringing around the country's scrap yards for a couple of hundred Vauxhall Viva headlights as we speak  



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

I would rather see an OperationDennis, we did it for Joe Waters many years ago, and if KD sticks them in the back of the net for us, I reckon he will be a firm favourite of ours. It would be great to see Wes and Kristian kept here for next season, so, what do you reckon forum peeps??
