Me and Ryan were at the ground until 8-10 tonight and we took a half hour off to sit by the dugout and eat some fish and chips (we had been there since before dinner time).
Beautiful warm evening and everything quiet but how that ground is shining and looking cared about. It is with a sense of pride that I say thank you to everyone who has played a part in whatever way to bring it all about. You can be proud of yourselves.

Looking back to 7 months months ago when I trailed around in the pouring rain gathering the litter and feeling as depressed as I have ever felt, picking up dead birds etc and observing a tired, worn out, falling apart ground, I never imagined in such a short space of time the transformation that has taken place.

We have shown that a few people with good intentions can make a difference.
Now COME ON BARROW---I can't wait.

Hope you deposited your fish and chip wrapping in the dedicated dustbin Elaine , don't want any paper blowing onto pitch tomorrow
Seriously a BIG Very BIG THANKS to all involved in the ground improvements over close season thank you

[Holkerbird]

Deposited in the appropriate bin Bobby of course. I couldn't believe I actually found myself collecting all the feathers our winged friends had deposited on the pitch. I think I have developed an illness of some sort.

[Jonty]

Wonderfully said Elaine. On the eve of the season we have a ground we can be proud of

[Holkerbird]

P.S Thanks to KHayman and his mother who saw me arriving home and knocked the door as Kieron thought I was on crutches and was checking up on me. Very kind neighbours.

How did you get out tonight.....thought I d pop up to drop off the changing room mirrors earlier and workshop doors wide open so naturally Iocked up...ha
Ian phoned me to tell me I had locked you in...he was nearly choking on his Chinese laughing!!!

Now lets all down tools and enjoy some football..................till Sunday morning....well done to Ian for getting the plaques up for kick off its all come together nicely!!

[Holkerbird]

No Tommy, you had locked Ryan out as he couldn't put the tins of paint and brushes away. He saw you arrive on your moped--I thnk he passed you on his pushbike when he was coming back from the chippie. Has it got a motor?

[mrsenario]

it has got a motor but struggles with 18 stone on top of it

Hopefully the technical issue that closed the club shop at half time wasnt the work of Whitby Lid or whatever he's called.

[derekb]

I thought the ground looked great today. Well done everyone concerned.

[Uncle Peter]

Hopefully the technical issue that closed the club shop at half time wasnt the work of Whitby Lid or whatever he's called.

No it wasn't. I believe the issue was due to a leak caused by the horrendous conditions so the shop was closed for everyones safety. The issue will hopefully be remidied by the next home game.

[whitty1969]

Possibly Daz, Already fixed it once, But I can't stop the rain leaking into the lights.
Who can put us a new roof on the Cross Bar? Anytakers?

[the dumbwitness]

Only joking Whitby lid, the ground looked brilliant, a huge pat in the back to you all,

[Holkerbird]

Barrowabc and those who helped, many thanks for providing us with a path and saved us from having to take the detour in the pouring rain.
First game and it proved it's worth.
