I see the Wakey Express are covering this tomorrow and are including an artist impression of the finished work;

Neil has posted this on the Northstanders facebook page.

Neil has had a lot to do in getting things started along with Nick they have come up with plans to please the powers that be, I came to last Saturdays meeting along many others after the call out for engineers, this meeting found we have all the criteria covered, health and safety, design and contact for materials, engineer to complete the steel work, ground works engineer covering fixings, and of course a squad of enthusiastic volunteers will to get this complete.

Following a very good meeting with the council safety advisor and surveyor we were able to make huge steps forward with the ground safety certificate. To this end we do not have as much work to as we originally thought. There is still a lot to do to get where we need to be but thanks to the advice from the council and the negotiations, we have made huge inroads into getting the ground backup to near capacity.

This Saturday we no longer need to remove the wall on the east stand, we do need to add three barriers to the area to bring it up to standard. The west stand work will go ahead as planned. If you are busy Saturday you no longer need to come down, we will need about 6 people in total, if you have an industrial drill that would be brilliant.

Steve Snowy Locking will be heading up the work and will need a hand shifting barriers etc and drilling the holes in preparation for the resin to be set. That should see this weekend taken care of, then we will start on the northstand and aim to have all the work done by the time the Castleford tigers come to visit.

A huge thanks to all who volunteered to give up their time and efforts this coming weekend, if you come down there will be stuff to do, and also we can brief people on future work.

The Main thing is that things are looking up and it's much more positive tonight than perhaps it was this morning

Great news Snowie.Hard hat,overalls,knee pads,toe cap boots polished,oh,and my hi viz at the ready.

it might still be worth the effort if you do have time in coming down, there is still other issues and I would like a little posse checking others areas which will be needed to be done, I'm down around 9-30 ish and will go through some health and safety for all working on the ground

Will there be work to be carried out on Saturday after the news update,or is it a meeting on the direction we need to take.

yes, we will just go through protocol of what is to be done and how, my jobs not changed to the east stand and hopefully the north stand should be easier

yep were going to get wet

Well done Guys. You are a credit to the Club.

Great stuff guys.

Excellent work!!!!

Just one question iv heard roumors that the new stands we had built under AG only have temp planning permission is this true?! If so how long will they be up?

that is a question that I don't have an answer for anyway, the club is the correct one to ask

Just read this thread and all I can say is WOW! WTW have some very special fans to rally round and help the club this work. I'm glad to read it may not be as difficult as you expected and I wish all the people working tomorrow well and stay safe.

Very impressive.

Snowie old lad, i will get you a pint in when you've finished.

Cheers.

cheers Al
