When you aren't paying any bills, I would imagine its easier to find cash for improvements.

why don't we start before the barriers put the capacity up to 8k, the club was threatened with zero capacity as there was no safety measures in place and it was work done behind the scenes at the beginning of the season that even allowed the 5,333 to become a reality, given that seems pretty pointless paying 50K to cover it over, as for the waste of time the club wouldn't of been here without shelling out just as much to reach requirements needed

which do you think was the waste of time and money

A couple of years ago we nearly went to the wall and everyone was lamenting this fact.
But true to Wakey, they pulled through.
Thus giving the moaners and pickers an excuse to pull the next regime down.
MC asked for help in getting the ground 'fit for purpose'. Snowie answered that call and even though you may think it's all a waste Scarlett.
We are still here and still in with a fighting chance of stopping up.
You know what they say? 'You don't miss something until it's not there'.
I think the 4 bus loads and countless other travelling fans going to Salford have indicated that they still believe.
If you have nothing of any interest to say Scarlett, don't say anything.

I have no doubt you did what you did for the right reasons let's hope the work you did makes it harder to remove the barriers when the contractors move in.
I said I was not commenting on the person himself but pointing out that work had been undertaken at the club when others had suggested it hadn't.
Ted was in the charge when the flats were built, Glover with the stands and Carter with the barriers. At the end of the day it will be the latter who will decide if any of it survives or is just torn down.
I suppose the developers may look to name the streets after former players just to remind residents what was there long after we are gone to pastures new.

don't think your having a pop at me or the other that help but you are having a dig at the club,
as for who will decide we leave the stadium won't be just MC or CB, it will be the years of neglect that have made that for you and the fact the stadium was sold and the fans that have chosen to stop coming to support for one thing or another
so by all means keep ranting if it makes you feel better

With hindsight, mortgaging the ground must go down as the worst move of the last 20 years or so.

Well scarlet you making your self look a right plonker its come to light that yes glover did ask for the roofs to be fitted, its a shame he didn't pay for them and left for MC to foot the bill.
Now please crawl under the nearest hide away

If that's the case (and I don't doubt for one minute it isn't) then I think you are best leaving this alone Scarlett.

Is sp ag or je? Seems to be defending them a bit too strongly

well said snowie!

People who pontificate without very good knowledge of the subject are very dangerous.

In defence of a good mate in Snowie,how much do you think it would have cost MC and Co,just to get the ground to an acceptable level if we'd used contractors for the work and time involved,a lot more than nowt I believe.

I thought Glover wrote off over £1.5 Million of his own money. I assume that would have paid for installation of the roofs.

I thought £600,000
