Ground Improvements @ Brimmo ?

[Southport - TOWNER]

ok after a slow start there was a lot of activity to get the concrete down and SOME fencing up and then......

 

Nothing ?

 

Can someone please inform us when:-

 

a) The old covered standing area is to be moved, and the gap closed off.

The Dug Outs moved

c) The Turnstiles put in

d) Behind the goal fenced off or covered.

e) I am aware the seats will not be purchased until after we know league requirements, so let's leave that one for now.

 

Or has all the money gone on the new burger bar inside the club house and buying endless stock of plastic cups?

Why is everybody so up in arms about the plastic cups! You should have seen some of the faces at the APSA game and also how p***ed off the bar staff were getting over some of the complaints. It tastes the same whether you drink beer from a glass or a plastic cup.

Don't try to cloud the issue - those cups were scandalous!

[Southport - TOWNER]

so what do you call half a ground ? a gro ? or a und ?

[Normans Wisdom]

As it is Und a construction it has to be an und, but like u I'd like some gro wth (progress)

[Southport - TOWNER]

so where are the project team hiding?

[Mr Happy]

What is the matter with you lot?! THey got the ground to FA Cup standard in time. The next task is to ensure it is suitable for Ryman standard next season. Yes, the ground needs fully enclosing ASAp but don't forget, the team coordinating the work are voluteers. Most of them have full time jobs. They have not let us down now and I'm certain they won't in the future.

[Southport - TOWNER]

the ground is NOT up to FA standard; where is the covered area ?

 

looking from last May the future is now.

 

I'm not moaning just want some answers

 

[Normans Wisdom]

Let's clarify one point it is FA Cup standard. It is not Ryman B standard.

[The Invisible Man]

I thought you needed turnstiles for the FA Cup?

 

I think what people are wondering is if we've got the money from a grant, why wait to have the work done? Obviously costs will rise with time.

[lanceyboyuk]

we do but it not the facup yet just qualifiers

[Southport - TOWNER]

when is the FA cup not the FA cup ?

 

still no answers tho'

[lanceyboyuk]

we are in the qualifing stages stupid

[Southport - TOWNER]

lol

[lovely stuff]

I think Southports making a fair point,IF we've got the money why wait(do the contractors charge less if we give them 3 months notice ???).

 

Having said that...We desperatly need to sort the fencing/security issue out,before we put up 60 grands worth of stands(or however much it is).

[lanceyboyuk]

i thought if we wait six months we get it for 59999 important saving

[Normans Wisdom]

Now you may well be getting closer Brimo are ace at getting reductions in price. But at what cost to the town?

[Mr Happy]

I thought the funding was coming from the FA so what's the point in ETFC forking ou the cash. Anyway, much of the ground improvemnets belong to Brimsdown and not ETFC.

[lovely stuff]

Who said anything about ETFC forking out the cash???.......Havn't we recieved our money from the F.A yet???.

 

I thought most of Brimsdowns bit had been completed...the funding for the stands,was for ETFC.

 

Having this discussion,is not to criticize the commitee members,who have put a lot of time and effort into this project(with little percieved help from Brimsdown,i might add).....It's just to get clarity about the situation,and how things stand,and why the delay.
