Why on earth did this Safety Advisory Group (whoever they are) come up with a 'last minute unexpected request to replace the roof' a week before the start of the season?
Anyway full marks to the club for getting the job done within such a short timescale.


They didn’t it was part of structural report that was done a number of years ago the cub did not implement in the agreed time scale fact

I smell a bit of corporate BS in the statement. If it was so dangerous that it needed doing immediately, why did it host fans against Hull and Lincoln? I think a deadline has been given a long time ago and they have asked for confirmation that it would be done. At which point, panic stations.

I call BS too.

The Main Stand refurb was cocked up by the tender process and this looks unprofessional too.

Thanks for that Crusty - the club didn't make that clear in their statement.

I’d rather not speculate.
Let’s see what the club really really think.

Pleased I’m not sitting outdoors without a roof on Saturday

It’s just a shame it wasn’t three years ago. What a sight,  John on the roof with hammer and nails.  In this weather.


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'

You know things are going pretty well when people are trying to find an angle to be drunk about this. Who honestly gives a toss?

Nobody’s looking for an angle FFS. There’s no way a professional football club should be needing to replace a full roof on a stand in the last week of preseason. Especially when they’ve had three months to prepare.

Possibly, but with that logic, Luton with their ambition should’ve redeveloped their ground in preparation for promotion last season.

It really does seem like a few fans trying to pick fault when it took a mere 4 days to complete and solve. Possibly late but given things people have heard, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if they had been told something completely different by the previous owner, they’ve trusted that word and it’s not been true…

Literally a whole raft of speculation and nobody really knowing the truth, and in truth, it doesn’t really matter. It’s finished. The end.


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

Who gives a intercourse? We need a new roof for the start of the season and we'll have one.
