Northfleet Stand SHUT

[Guest]

Do you think the guy that shut our stand could be a Scullywag.Enough conspriacy stories going around to start a bonfire that would keep him busy doing what he is paid for.

Speaking to someone who knows within the club saturday, an estimated guess was made within the region of £75,000 ouch, now that does not sound good.

Can we not get Victor to cough up, rename it the Gladwish End, and paint it blue and green?

Next time they go on strike I know what they will get in the bucket what froze of me Sat.

You want a conspiracy???? Here's one!
An American Sattelite flew over the ground, the CIA agent who looked at the photos is anti-Bush. He sent the photos to Chirac, who hates the British. Chirac sent the photos to the Safety Officer who had nothing to do, so he closed the Northfleet End.....................Or was the Safety Officer who is supposed to do random Checks do his job and find it unsafe and close it??????...........Naw that is too tame! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/shrug.gif" alt="" />

It won't be as quick as that, it will probably take a least 3 quotes, they take time, then the work its self, i bet nothing happens until after the season finishes.

Future of the Stand appears to be in jeopardy. Club cannot afford improvements and leaving the stand closed indefinitely looks the likeliest option. Shame as it appears that the club aren’t in a position now to fund such a building project and the possibility of doing so in the near future looks unlikely.

 

Not being funny though but surely all your supporters could fit in the one stand? Some may say that they could even squeeze into the dugout.

talking to somewone form the club this morning they are starting this week.

Possibly, in the same way that most anonymous posters' brain cells could fit on the back of a postage stamp, and then have considerable room left over.

Well said Stu M and you only beat me by 14 minutes.

My guess is that if we are not permitted to undertake temporary repairs that the full works will not be carried out until the season has finished. Just think back to the recent past and recall how long it took the club to repair holes in the roof over the terrace! This could cause us problems were we to,say, progress to the Quarter Finals of the FA Trophy and draw a very well supported Conference side at home. However, if the works will include installing crash barriers, I doubt that it would be finished in time even if we were able to start within a couple of weeks . I also imagine that this was an expense that, while contemplated, was expected to be put off indefinitely. Recent mention of turning full time, while still unlikely in the near future, must now be even further on the horizon since the Fire Brigade report was delivered . kmj.

Exactly who do you think we can draw in the Trophy that will bring in a crowd of over 3,000 <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Why bother with rumours when you can have the facts?

According to Paul H ' Carlisle'

I did like the way on Saturday there were just two stewards on the whole terrace..but one of the subsitutes still managed to hit one of them! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

It definately felt a little odd stuck out watching from the sides on Saturday - and a damn site colder as well.

*****SHOCK HORROR*****

 

David Holdens article has a spelling mistake.

To be honest, I was surprised at how empty the place looked, even with the Fleet end closed... Still, with only a thousand or so at the match, I guess it looked 'normal'... I was sure there would of been more, especially as it was Liam's 1st home match and a win was more than possible...!!

Maybe the Reporter should produce a £2 off entry coupon in the paper to attract more local supporters..???...!!

[Guest]

I was also thinking of Carlisle when I posted my previous message. I also took into account ( the admittedly far fetched scenario I know ) that the local population might experience one of those rare occasions when they realise that they have a half decent club on their doorstep (aka jumping on the bandwagon)such as experienced v Villa and Canvey in the Pre Conference days who could be on the verge of winning something. At least I wasn't far out in my assessment of the timetable to do the repair work or the possibility of a temporory respite from the total ban on the use of the terrace. kmj.
