Match Thread Home v Salford Tuesday 27th April@7.00pm

Literally said this three posts above that comment try to keep up pal. Just trying to get a dig in when you can eh?

also that wasn't my reasoning stop putting words in my mouth. Absolute carps on here.

“£50,000. 100% what a pathetic club. Didn't try at all. Such a tinpot national league side.

jokes aside, didn't think scunny needed a fine second time round either. Both us and them tried to get these games going. The first postponement they just stuck covers on!”

 

Neither do I officially from my grandparents...and they don't get close to £100m from tax payers.....




...but then they have been dead a few years!! God Bless!!

 

Crack on and claim furlough expenses for any staff your company furloughs then

 

There must be another reason why the pitch is so bad, It has had the drainage done 3 times now with GR arranging a complete replacement of it and channels under the Midland road stand to help drainage, This plus two other drainage schemes and hundreds of tons of fibresand having been done and still the pitch is a problem, Relaying and seeding every season does not help as it never gets chance to bed in before been ripped up by playing on it, Years ago it won an award as the best pitch in the division but with another groundsman team,

 

Bolton is a PL pitch with under soil heating and a Desso construction like all other PL pitches. No comparison to other L2 pitches and apart from heavy snow before KO they should always be in a position to play.

 

With respect Trevor I don't think your comments can apply to the pitch this season. There have been no problems with water despite heavy rainfalls and there is no wear even in goal mouths. The pitch had some sand on it before the Barrow game but that will be washed in. If you watch the games you will see generally there is no bobble on the ball and as I've said on another thread I believe we have one of the better surfaces outside the PL. You only have to watch games, eg Barnsley, Exeter, Harrogate, Southend and many more to see how much better VP is.

 

This one of the longest cold snaps i can remember, don't think anything bar a domed roof would have saved todays game.

 

I read all the time on here, people complaining that this or that is not right at the club.
So why don't we as fans try and do something about it. Why not a fund to help with things like new covers for the pitch or to help get a bit of hot wter in the toilets. I dont give any credence to the argument that the owner is a multi millionaire. He is only the current custodian , one of many during my time watching the club , non who have really had the desire to really invest, and i hopefully will still be here long after Mr Rupp has left. Did one of the Dundee clubs supporters groups , recently donate a large sum to keep the club going.
We get season tickets for a pittance , £1 a week from 10000 fans , raises £520,000 a year . That could go a long way in making things better.

 

Complaining about wanting fecking hot water in the toilets... That's complaining??????????? Unbelievable

The club can pay for this basic necessity.

 

Looks like Mike Dean has gone to India and become a third umpire!

 

I did suggest it should have been done in our Premiership days we had little problems generating finance for the new infrastructure.
If we had been able to have a longr stay in the Premier League I'm not sure using your about comment would have gone down too well with the powers that be even if they are correct which I'm not doubting.

 

The supporters groups have made sizable contributions to the club, The pitch sprinkler system, The lighting rigs and even goal nets and other things the club needed were bought with supporters money not to mention the 15k donated by them to improve the training pitches

 

Here's any easy answer. Just put the price of season tickets up, theres your fund right away.

 

And let's not forget the scoreboard,

 

Scoreboard too.

 

Which on reflection I'm personally disappointed with, all the hoo-ha and digging of extra foundations to take it I was under the impression it would be far bigger that the one we have.
