Someone near me said that the club didn't realise there was a lead time on steel and that is why the work didn't happen this summer. Whether or not that is true, I'd rather we use grants in 12 months time.

Quoted from LocalLadGTFC


I don't know why you keep posting about these supposed stories, our CEO has said openly in an interview that works have been delayed due to more money being available next year. We'd be idiotic to spend club money this year when we can essentially have it paid for us next year.


OK. The tender process wasn’t completed in time for the successful bidder to get the materials in time is the story I’ve heard from more than one source. Next year’s price will undoubtedly be higher than it was this year - there was every intention to complete the work this year.

There was work planned to improve the view but it didn’t happen. I’ve heard two different stories as to why but I’m not going to repeat either.


Why not take the roof off and supports out and everybody would have an unrestricted view. Statistically it only rains on average for 4 % of the time on the East Coast . The club shop could also have a new sales line in Maribers branded sou’westers and no more roof maintenance costs so win win all round. May also be able to get a few extra rows of seats at the back.

Would probably rot the timber when it does rain though 🤔

The timber actually rotted away years ago, all that's left is the crusty top layer of oil, creosote, varnish , paint and everything else slapped on it over 100 yrs

Pretty much a scheduled monument so that's a couple of quid entry alone......probably should get a discount if you are a National Trust member though 😉
