Re: Photos of ground developments
Things progressing well my only concern is are those blue painted blocks a safety hazard for players if running full tilt for the ball as they not far from playing area?

Re: Photos of ground developments
It’s probably further away from the actual playing area than the wall either at end of the pitch behind the two goals, and it’s obviously exactly the same distance from the main stand to the pitch which we’ve had for twenty years.liverpoolann wrote: ↑Mon Jul 01, 2019 4:03 pm Things progressing well my only concern is are those blue painted blocks a safety hazard for players if running full tilt for the ball as they not far from playing area?
It really is fine Ann.
We didn't underestimate them, we just didn't think they were that good.

Re: Photos of ground developments
On a still night, with the moon and floodlights acting in perfect union, you can still see the dints in the walls caused by Mike Marsh and Peter Smith clattering into them at full pelt.spirit of 1990 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 01, 2019 6:00 pmIt’s probably further away from the actual playing area than the wall either at end of the pitch behind the two goalsliverpoolann wrote: ↑Mon Jul 01, 2019 4:03 pm Things progressing well my only concern is are those blue painted blocks a safety hazard for players if running full tilt for the ball as they not far from playing area?

Dave Bayliss' full time 'remonstration' with Jennings which had various officials hanging off him this wasn't it?

I may have missed something and apologies if that is the case but what exactly are they going to do with this area

The home changing & shower room from earlier.
The changing room has been painted (floor & walls) new tactic board installed, plastic cladding fitted to certain walls, mirrors added and toilets fixed.
The shower room has had a complete makeover after the Trust donated the money to enable us to take this on. Blown tiles fixed, floor & walls painted, light fixed, white plastic cladding with grey trims and the two windows replaced hopefully in the next few weeks.

The extendable players tunnel lying in the reception area ready for assembly.
The Chairman’s room - barring a few improvements to do in the new season it’s virtually finished.

Ha! The last time my lad painted was with a straw at preschool. By the looks of his legs he managed to find a straw big enough to help out tonight. 

Mind you I not he will be laughing if there’s blue paint on anywhere but his bedroom walls when me and the boss lady return to blighty.
