Work needed at Holloways Park

[A Rebel and a Saint]

Please take a look at the message from the club about work that needs doing at Holloways Park (as part of meeting the required ground grading for the Southern Premier) on the Trust news page

 

www.sloughtownsupporterstrust.co.uk/news

 

Please volunteer some of your time to help.

Can someone who knows share exactly what works are being undertaken with the main stand?

[Steve Easterbrook]

Do not envisage any major changes to the two stands - there may be some change to the seats but again nothing material. Important that we commence on the other works around the ground as soon as possible as from experience it always takes longer than anticipated! 

[GarySTFC]

Is there a list of other jobs which need doing? I'm happy to head over either after work or Saturday lunchtime before a game.

[Rebel Kay]

Will get the list up later,

 

Can we please pin this post.

 

I can't stress enough how important it is that we get this work done quickly. The more hands on deck we have the easier it will be, so please let Mike know if you can spare some time.

Does there need to be more than a couple of people in order to do the work?

[Rebel Kay]

None of the work is heavy etc, so as long as someone with keys is available we will be happy if only a couple of people can make it at any given time.

[RTyler01]

I can make it any home match Saturday.

[Rebel Kay]

Mike,

Let me know when you are up there this week and I will pop up for a couple of hours when I can.

List of jobs to be done

- Removal of weeds and grass from all pathways

- Removal of moss from top of perimeter wall

- Removal of moss/mould from turnstile walls and painting

- Erection of some signage

- Cleaning of dugouts

- Trimming of over hanging branches

- removal or rubble from far end fence

- repair to far end fence

- re cement bricks in step in seated stand

- painting the yellow lines to step edges

 

As you can see apart from a couple of bits its not difficult, just time consuming.  

The type of tools needed will be stiff brooms, scrapey things, spades, paint brushes and cleaning equipment 

[GarySTFC]

I'm in. Would be good to know if there are scheduled working times so people can coordinate their efforts too but am happy to head over after work when I can.

The first working party will start tomorrow (Thursday) at 10-30am

We have 6 people who have confirmed they will be there, which is great!

lf you feel you can spare a couple of hours or so please just turn up, bring a spade or a hoe if you can!

And wrap up warm it's going to be cold!!

[Ian]

Mike - get them moving the rubble behind the far end goal, that will warm them up! :-)

Mike you ok for entry, toilets and tea ect? 

[Rebel Kay]

Huge thanks to the group of supporters who spent yesterday at the ground.  There is a team up there again this morning and it sounds like the project is progressing nicely.

 

That doesn't mean that more help isn't still needed.  So if you can spare a couple of hours, let Mike know.

[Mike.L]

Next working party is scheduled for tomorrow Tuesday 3rd Feb starting at 10-30 am and again on Thursday 5th Feb starting at 10-30 am

 

The work is going very well and you can see a huge difference around the terraces already!

So if you can spare an hour or two please just turn up and we will find you something to do!

[Stuntman Mark]

Is there anything happening at the weekend? I don't mind getting up there early on Saturday and pitching in but can't do weekdays because I have a job.

[Rebel Kay]

We will see how we go this week.  If necessary we may be able to do something at the weekend.

I will be up on Thursday.

[Rebel Kay]

Fantastic effort by the guys and girls this morning building in the great work done already.  Its looking really good.

Huge thanks to everyone who has helped.

 

There are no plans for this weekend, most of the remaining work needs the dry weather, so we will see what next week brings.  Mike will update about next week later.

[Mike.L]

Next working parties are planned for Tuesday 10th Feb and Thurs 12th Feb starting at 10-30am

We have a match on Tuesday night so will be finishing early!

Any help would be much appreciated.

[Mike.L]

The next working parties are planned for Tues and Weds this week.

The response so far has been fantastic so a big thank you to all the helpers A lot of jobs have been completed but still a few more to do.

l look forward to seeing you all tomorrow.
