Think the motto on the ground is right first time. There must be so many options available, perhaps its just taking time to filter the options to get the ideal one?

I would think the floodlights are a priority as they need a safety cert each year I believe, and we only got one this year because we said we were sorting them this back season.

Exciting times for all the right reasons

[Holkerbird]

I know PC is absolutely up to his eyes in his work which was obvious when he flew back to the States the day before the Lowestoft game. Who would miss an occasion like that unless it was imperative to do so? It must have killed him getting on that plane!!!!!

To go from having a great idea to buy a football club to the reality of what it all entails must have come as a shock as to how difficult it is to pull all the ends together whilst running a successful business at the same time.

Off pitch it does concern me that there have been no appointments made other than SC coming in and Steve Patton taking over as stadium manager. Well not to our knowledge anyway.
Apart from PC and Mrs Casson, we have another two directors who live out of town and another two who work full time which doesn't leave much leeway for involvement during the week/day time.
I did read somewhere that a CEO is being appointed so that is a start and let's hope he/she will be based locally.

Perhaps when PC comes over during the close season he will have another "get together" and an update on the progress of the concerns voiced on here.

[Uncle Peter]

Right, I'll try and answer stuff as best I can.

Re the pitch, its getting levelled off completely, reseeded so in time for the new season we will have a flat, smooth surface. Part of these works include installing a water tank to improve the pressure when the pitch is watered. This is an big investment but it needs doing properly.

Re the ground redevelopment, this is ongoing but various negotiations are ongoing re land around the ground and the outcome of these will ultimately dictate the layout of any proposed redevelopment.

Sustainability is a difficult one as it is intrinsically tied to the new development, although corporate is up, gates are up and we have a long term tenant in the Princes Trust at the study centre.

We also have what was inside out now on house, and this is profitable.

We've made huge strides this year, and I know that the two Steves and Sue have worked very hard indeed.

The lack of any visible progress is frustrating, but I'll repeat myself and say we have one shot at getting this right, and it will take as long as it takes.

I will of course endeavour to keep people updated, it's just slow going at the moment.

Re the floodlights, these have been made safe which is reflected in our recent ground grading.

We now have Edmo and Meeks full time, and this has many benefits which will show as time goes on.

Hmmmmmmmm

[Arvo]

Thank you for the update, Pete, but...

Uh? Is it just me, or does anyone else not have a clue what this means?

[barrowaberdeen]

He means what was 'Inside Out' which was basically Neil Docs company.

[Arvo]

Oh, I see. Thank you, Steve.

[Middleton Nick]

So as I understand it everything is in hand but it may take longer than everyone thought.!!

With more away fans coming next season any chance that eyesore segregation can be sorted? Just looks a mess.

Preferably with away fans going back to where they should be instead of in our home end.

[mrsenario]

I got a quote to supply or install 2 rows of palisade fencing 5 ft high with gates at the bottom of the terracing by the pitch wall from AK fencing of Grange
This was for the GMV squad for the old board. Surprisingly only £1000 supply or £1400 supply and fit which would have looked much better and professional and galvanised
.we also started fabricating portable sections to drop into sockets concreted into the terracing but this stopped half way through.....surely a grand and a bit is nothing to replace the saving private Ryan stockade that's there now Paul

[blue nige]

Hmmmmmmmm

why this? 18 months ago we nearly folded! why spend money on floodlights when they might not fit in with new stadium plans!



i am more than pleased with what`s happening! and "uncle peter" didn`t have to respond and still gets a snide remark,all these things take time most fans(of other clubs)would have been happy with half of what we are going ahead with!

[Jonty]

What is the point of segregation on the Holker Street terrace when the main stand is open to all?

[Uncle Peter]

You can't please everyone all the time, if Ive allayed one of two fears I've done my job

[finbar17]

To be fair the away fans in that end of the holker street end can add to a great atmosphere. There isn't ever any real bother but if anybody wanted too that picket fence isn't going to stop them is it let's be honest. The mainstand being open to all just reiterates how intelligent football hardmen truly are not. Also i think the pitch this season has being immaculate compared to what we've played on post vaughan. Things can only get better im my eyes. Thanks for the update pete keep up the hardwork mate. I'm sure as anything You've also had a massive influence in this takeover by being our voice in all of this and i don't doubt your keeping us the fans as involved as possible. Bring on The National league 15/16.
