I would guess it would be pretty hard to allow any event. Perhaps a guided tour could be arranged but I doubt anyone would make the effort.
I suggest going down and speaking direct to the contractors. Less red tape and may stick a hard hat on you and allow you to take it all in and perhaps give you a piece of turf if you ask nicely.'"
This is a nice idea but, from my experience, anyone looking to gain access to a site that is derelict, disused or being demolished is not greeted well.
Go in with groups of 2 or 3 (or 1 if you want to take that risk) after hours. There'll be plenty of entry points and nobody needs to know you've been in.

| I've tried many times to try and get in but it's padlocked and boarded up well. I suppose you'd have to climb over the gate but they're pretty high. Would have liked the 4 seats that we used to sit on and some turf but can't see that happening to be honest.

| If you really want to get in without causing criminal damage on the outside go over the railway end with some lightweight fold up ladders.

They've been smashing up inside the Bevan stand.

Are you sure? Earlier someone suggested the dug outs and tunnel had been ripped up, but they are still intact.

That's what I was told by the groundsman the other week. He's usually in the Connie Club of a Saturday evening so if I nip in I will ask him.

| I nipped down the other day, and despite notices of guard dog patrols all seemed quiet, took a few pictures as well through the various cracks and holes around the perimeter, so no trespassing needed! Looked exactly the same, and as far as I could see from my limited view the tunnel was still there. Will upload later when I'm on the laptop.
The gate they've put up on Priory Street near snookers was open yesterday when I glimpsed down whilst stuck in traffic on Wilderspool Causeway, so maybe there's going to be something happening soon.

The other week? They were definitely intact last Saturday.
