Cover

[A Rebel and a Saint]

i thought it was a year-by-year deal, meaning that as it stands we could be there for the foreseeable future?

[Staines-upon-Thames Rebel]

Why dont the two clubs start a "fund" for the covers with the opertunity of individuals or groups to make a donation and raise the funds that way.

 

I remember a contributor to this site saying he would put money forward if cover was to be put up.

 

I will start the ball rolling by pledging £25 if a fund of this sort is started and there is permission to put covers up.

Good idea - i'll stick in a tenner, not a lot, but nappies cost a lot

[Don Juan DeMarcus]

I have to say that i think money should be going to STFC and not improving windsor's ground, unless we have a long contract there! Purely selfish but hey, thats me!

[brighton_rebel]

A bit cutting off yer nose to spite our face, as we stand in the pouring rain and wind, waiting for the ground in slough to be built.

I reckon we might as well make ourselves a bit more comfortable while we stay at windsor.

I agree to an extent Warren - if we are going to be at a ground for 20-odd matches a season then make it comfortable and help the hosts if they want it. But if we are only signed up for a 12 month agreement, I wouldn't be so keen on spending the cash, certainly not Trust money.

 

If we'd signed up for another 3 years I would think differently and the idea of Staines Rebel to start a joint fund and collaboration between the clubs for getting some covering then I would be for it and would contribute to that. But if we're only likely to be at the Stag for the next 12 months I would have reservations.

 

In either scenario I would be against the Trust using Trust money for ground improvements of another club. That money and future money raised has to be earmarked for the future of the football club or for helping with expenditures to keep the club going, not for improving the stadium of another football club.

The deal currently agreed with Windsor is to my understanding for one year only. Largely to see what effect the works have on the pitch.

[GarySTFC]

What is the currently outlay of the trust? What has the money been spent on thus far? There's plenty of donations coming in and annual membership money which is great, but what's the money, if any, been spent on?

[Dominic]

One outlay (to be approved by the board at the next meeting) is to sponser and pay the training fees at the Polish club this season.

[Roger Rebel]

One thing about your idea Clive is set up the way you want i dont have to put into it, and i wont.

[Roger Rebel]

If we build it will they come.......... and paint it Windsors colours.

[GarySTFC]

Thanks Dom, I was thinking more back over the last 12-18 months, but I guess I'll wait until the AGM for the accounts.

[Russ_Rebel]

I think that if the pitch is going to be as good as it sounds then we will be looking to stay in Windsor as it seems that we will be out of Slough for many years to come. The idea of covering is good news and im sure that money could be raised one way or another by both clubs.

as l understand it Peter Simpson has planning permission to build some sort of cover at the tea bar end of the groud, but prefers to spend money on the pitch for obvious reasons.Perhaps the club shop should stock S.T.F.C. umbrella's for anybody that wants to buy one.

Good idea Clive... an independant fund ..for that and that task only...

 

The trust has to consider requests from supporters thats why we are there, if the cost can be reasonable then the members will be asked to vote on it...we are not going to spend money if you don't want us to...

What about approaching Wickes, B & Q , Jewsons or Homebase etc ?

 

They supply all the materials free of charge & in return its called and clearly signed the 'Wickes stand' or 'B& Q stand ' etc ?

[Roger Rebel]

How about Winsor spending the Slough bar and food takings on it.

[Barry Scott]

how else would they pay their players Roger?

[Roger Rebel]

With the rent money.

[Barry Scott]

thats gone on the pitch hasn't it?
