Its not worth wasting any money on the roof if Ross is going to carry on shooting everytime he gets within 30 yards of the opposition goal. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

Possibly not, but surely a coat of paint so that at the vey least its all one colour would cost not a lot............how about doing a deal with a company that already advertises, or certainly used to, on the ground perimeter Trade Paints in Grove Road?

In any case the following quote from the club's official website implies that a 'new' stand of some sort is to be erected....."The works on the Northfleet end of the ground are provisionally expected to start in a fortnight’s time, with the initial enabling work being started. Once this is completed, the stand will be erected, and this will start no later than the end of June"

By the way the seating looks excellent, certainly better than I was expecting. The overall affect however is spoiled by the stand roof.

Why worry about the roof anyway - if you sit near the front when it rains, you're gonna get wet.....maybe removing the roof could have been the answer?

The cost of the piant is barely an issue, but the cost of applying that paint to the roof would be considerable.

 

Scaffolding would have to be erected, probably along the whole length of the stand and over the roof, because it is certainly not safe to stand on.

 

You then have to consider whether the roof itself could take the work, it might just fall apart leaving the club with the additional cost of either replacing the whole roof or removing it completely.

If you look, the seats are mounted on a new stand which has then been attached to the floor of the existing structure, thus creating a stand within a stand.

To be fair the club did ask us supporters to go stadium and help tidy the place up during the summer.

I for one never responded to the challenge.

I may well be wrong but was the sponsor for the Fleet - Altrincham game a Painters and decorators????

Maybe they could be approached to do it for free,and allow them to place there name up there for avertising purposes??? As long as the Fleet was in large letters across the middle ?? etc

[Gordon T]

looking great! Glad its finally sorted

[eufckev]

Is there space for standing behind the seats?

Have I entered some sort of parallel universe where things seem are the same but for a few small differences?

[Fleet boys]

will the drum go up there from the half way line??? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

[Harry J Allstars]

I have haven't I? I'm in some world thats the same but for a few suttle differences. I long for the world that means NO STANDING BEHIND THE SEATS and YES THE DRUM WILL GO BEHIND THE GOAL

Truman Beers already have that privilege - although I somehow suspect it isn't a very lucrative 'sponsorship' deal for the Club.

Of course, so will the rest of us, we can have our little contest now to see who makes the most noise: the half way line or our lot behind the goal.
