BAFC updates

[boyliegladbach]

Sorry if this has already been answered but any idea on when the shirts will be released for next season?
I remember seeing a while back that they would be available quite early
Wouldnt mind getting one before i go away if they are available (in the appropriate sizes that is ha)

You'll only need a medium after last Saturday adam

Trying to find out now Adam, get back as soon I hear anything.

End of May/start of June are the dates given Adam.

Good to know. Should hopefully be ok to get one before i go then. Cheers for the quick reply

Really, was this always the plan? Especially after all the work (and expense) undertaken during the close season)?

It's not as serious as it sounds Ralph. I think it involves skimming the grass tops off with a thin layer of top soil but leaving the grass roots in place (Gareth did tell me what this does but I've forgotten, I'll find out though) Another plus to doing this is it'll rectify a hollow on the pitch.

This pitch thing happening Ian?
Looked exactly the same when I saw it other day.

So is that a yes or no?

It's been scaled down Al but Gareth is still doing a lot of pre-season type work on it, I'm not too sure what it is but I can ask him for the details if you want.

To be honest, and to my very untrained eyes, the pitch was/is fine, it's still basically the one that won the award the other year so I was a bit surprised there was mention of anything other than maintenance work on it anyway. Far more important stuff with the floodlights, toilets & main stand in my opinion.

No I'm not that bothered was just wondering,

Quite a large amount of scaffolding going up under the main stand yesterday ahead of any work due in the coming weeks.

I have some pictures if anyone can pop them up on here, PM me an e-mail address and I'll send them over.

Like pretty much everything else then...

Indeed!

Aside from investment in the team I don't see much evidence of any of the promises we were made actually being fulfilled. Disappointing.

Wasnt impressed with the pitch too much saturday either. Every time the ball bounced a thick cloud of sand followed it. Was picked Up on many a time in the press box

Were you in the pressbox adam?

You're right about the pitch Adam. I thought I was at Roanhead ! As I shouted to you through the press box window, "What is someone who knows nothing about football doing in there "
