We have, and details will be up and advertised shortly. There are actually some already on display in the club shop....he can basically do anything you want.
If you do want something doing with a club badge on just leave your request with someone in reception/shop and he will be in touch.

Anything that has the club badge on has to be sold via the club though.
We didn't underestimate them, we just didn't think they were that good.

Headstone with the badge on sounds good to me.

Looks a proper decent job that considering everyone looked canned. ;)

A very kind gesture from Mike Gough too.

I've hopefully got a few decades left in me - just think how many more dull 0-0s in the drizzle and wind I've got to look forward to. :scarf:

With all this work being done on the Xbar, does it mean that my hopes of seeing the eyesore of a building being smashed to pieces to make way for a proper stand are all but over now?

I hope it goes as well.

The three bars were planned so we can remove them and they be used in any future building that might go there. They definitely won't be wasted after all the work that will be going into them, hopefully along with the work in the other rooms, it'll just make the corporate day a bit more of a pleasant experience.

Well, at the last meet the manager/owner/scout night we were told that 'the plan' is to knock it down and build a proper stand with facilities a la Maidstone.

How long that will take to materialise is anyone's guess.

Was really impressed with the Maidstone set up. Probably my fav last season.

Aye, a good drink and a relaxed attitude towards segregation - from the stewards at least - although the result could have been better.

Agree re the setup at Maidstone; meeters & greeters at the 'Spoons pub near the station to welcome visiting supporters, superb range of refreshments inside the ground, and the only clubhouse I've been in where the pre-match queues were of bar staff looking for punters to serve. And it was busy!

I wouldn't mind a house number plaque as my house is a semi and the one attached to me is 37 and mine is 70. Causes confusion apart from the bills that don't seem to have any bother finding me.

As your way closer to the pearly gates than Dave, Surely the Headstone is more of a bargain for you Elaine :-)
