New commercial idea, selling viewing glasses to those in the main stand. Like the ones you get at the theatre and whatnot. 50p a game.

That was my first thought. One metre is a hell of a distance to us old 'uns. Yet more crap to carry to the game---binoculars now to go with the rattle, sweets, flask, blanket, fur trimmed hat, bum bag and cushion cos those plastic seats are cold.. The first 5 minutes are spent unpacking the Harrods bag they are conveyed in.

The scaffolding from under the main stand is also due to come down any time now, there were actually some flat backs there yesterday afternoon so they might have already started removing it by now.

Various areas of the ground have also been painted thanks to the link-up with Furness College.

With the original timescale quoted as 6 weeks to complete the installation of the new floodlights, that will bring us right up to the weekend of the 1st league game ( if we're at home ).
If delays are encountered, there will be problems with fixtures.

Ohm wasn't built in a day.

With lux they'll be completed on time.

But the contractors are only lumen.

I was only asking the question - original timescale was end of June, then it got put back to 21st July, now we're looking at bang on start of the season. it's just there could be problems if there's more delays.

You can have 49% if you want a former member of this forum, I'm keeping the controlling share otherwise you'll take it over with badges & your DaveP love-in talk!!



I suppose this'll be announced today but Paul has said it can go on here.

Steve Casson is stepping down from his role of commercial manager, the job will be advertised in the coming days and it's hoped an appointment will be in place by no later than mid March.

Good but I thought Emma was commercial manager?

Glad he's going though.
