been paid off


If this is true I hoped they'd put a statement out, this isn't any ordinary 'loan pay off' .. to us fans it's a big thing and would require us to celebrate

If it was part of the deal, does it matter? I’m sure the owners agreed to it as a way of getting the loan issue resolved quickly. It makes zero difference to the fans.

As regards the pitch I know it’s not in perfect condition (an understatement!!). However we have had more rain in a very short space of time than we’ve had for years. This surely has to be the main reason. Therefore I think to spend thousands of pounds on a new pitch when the old one will hopefully recover, is throwing money away that could be spent on better players. Remember the 70’s pitches?!! They were far far worse than ours is now.

All this winging about the pitch. Snowflake generation no doubt. It’s part of the game . Reason we won yesterday was in the second half conditions rain wind pitch we wanted it and they didn’t.

Just had to scan through Twitter to find this, but I knew there was an update from the groundsman.

It just would not be AP & JS's style.

I believe that Jason addressed the Fenty thing on RH before, and I’m sure he’ll be asked at the fans forum.

I was talking to the groundsman during the summer while the pitch was being prepared for reseeding and he told me that the extra drainage that had been put in along the findus side had failed to do the job they had hoped

Quoted from Ashby mariner
Apparently theres planning going in for the  changing rooms to be moved to the findus side of the ground. Then the corner to be filled in between the main and the pontoon and increasing the capicity. Maybe a load of rubbish but that's what my father was told.


I seem to recall that when the Findus was built that was going to be the idea. Some sort of entrance was left in the centre to make an entrance to the pitch, perhaps some original photo's may show this.

Anyhow it all sounds like a good idea to me.


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time
