The stand begins

[PJ!]

It's alright, I'm not going anywhere, I just made you think I was. And it worked.

[Alan ( GNFC )]

Surely it didn't, as you didn't and Chris Blanc didn't.

[PJ!]

Anyway lets get back to talking about Gravesend.

Can I call you old Len?

Given that, relative to yourself, I am almost certainly "old" you may indeed, without offence - just as long as you aren't really Fleet Loyal, aka Longshanks, in disguise, far and away the most offensive piece of pondlife ever to slither onto this forum.

Actually, you can't possibly be, you are impatient to talk about the Fleet & football & he never did either, to my knowledge.

Looking forward to Saturday.

Just found out the work behind the goal at the plough end is half done! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/bigshock.gif" alt="" />

Shhh <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

[chris blanc]

It's all coming together now, can't wait for Saturday

[Fleet fan]

DONT GO

[thatguy]

They will finish laying the cement tomorrow or thursday at the latest. Giving it a couple days to set.

What's all that business about "souls"...? They're not building over an ancient Indian burial ground like in Poltergeist are they?

 

Typical Northfleet, building stadiums in areas of paranormal activity. Sack the board, etc etc etc

[American FLEET FAN No1]

If DH hadn't have highlighted it, i would have thought "souls" was a spelling mistake, and it should have been soles. As that would have halved the capacity mentioned, that WOULD be bad news for the Fleet! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

[thatguy]

At least we will have fans back behind the goal.

[Slartibartfast]

Ahhh souls.

[PJ!]

If the stand is at capacity and I therefore can't get in, would anyone like to buy my soul which will then grant me entry to the stand.

 

It would obviously have to be someone not in the Plough End.

[Unrecognized Genius]

Except that only agents of Big S offer to buy people's souls & Mephistopholes & his mates are all regulars of the Plough End.

 

Get there early, especially if you're not over 6' tall. Flat area? Not for me. I'm barely 5'10."

The work involves an infill of concrete from the pitch boundary wall back to the third row of existing terracing.

Ooh it'll be all intimidating for the visiting keeper to have 300 souls (just) looking down on him... a bit like err... Runcorn's old Canal Street ground!!!???

Seriously though, it'll be good to have some of it back, though I suspect that

the restricted standing for up to 300 spectators

implies that there will be a yellow hatched area on the first metre or so in which we are not allowed to stand! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
