this hasn't been a case of monkey see monkey do,
all work given to volunteers has been within there skill level and at no time have I allowed anyone to use or do anything that could of harmed them in any way.
we have a safety office by trade, me as may trade covering over 38 years in engineering and others that have similar skills so please don't think that we would of had any rugby players down here that cant catch a ball

Cant speak for all that band of volunteers but I think its been worth it meeting some other like minded fans and to an extent I get where metallicat is coming from.I could not get down during the week or this weekend due to matters at home but my youngest only 10 (never shuts up all game urging the players on) asked when we are going down next.It would have been great if we could have started and done the ground in the off season but that's the way it turned out.

Sorry Snowie. I didn't mean that you weren't professional - quite the opposite, having seen you organising things at the ground. I may have just got carried away a bit with a rant.

Maybe my earlier mini rant was a little OTT....but in my opinion a lot of the criticism of all things at the club from top to bottom I've seen posted on these boards in the last 2-3 months are aswell....so maybe that was just a little of my inner frustration of that coming out....

Can fully understand the points made by Tricky.....in regards to living too far away....Big Al....who I know from posting on here for many years what time and effort he has given to the club along with many others....also to all the others who have been down....just think there could be a few more who could help out a lot more than they may think....

My sole intention from the start was to go down the once, just so I could say I had done a little as a personal thanks to MC for all he has done for the club I love.....then meeting the guys down there and working alongside them it's kind of infectious and you feel like part of a team and just want to go down and help a bit more....

Have loads on meself at the moment aswell....I work 50 hrs a week Monday to Friday...have a wife and 2 daughters, which to be honest I've kind of neglected a bit on the times I've been down but wouldn't swap any of it and I will be down again if and when needed....if I can....got the rest of my life to make it up to the family....these things need doing now....

Once again, apologies if my earlier mini rant offended anyone....wasn't meant to at all....

I have no problems with anyone that wanted to come down the once or wanted to be there at every given moment, we all have a life away from the club.
there's been many a time I questioned myself why I have taken on such a large task at my age and the reason must be the love for the club and the game, I can understand MC frustrations of what's happening within our game and can see why he might feel the need to walk away, but I can't, its not costing me money just time, having been down there for some time we have found areas that we can improve the club finically and be more efficient in ways that is nothing to do with the game in general and the club are looking to see if this is feasible, simple things like waste management, again something that I have dealt with before

just like to add it was nice seeing Davide down there on sat just helping out

just to get back on track I'm totally blown away this is hitting new heights on fb

the current bid and his first bid stands at £350

Tempted to have another bid myself but SWMBO (she who must be obeyed) would go mad if she found out I bid that much.

Thats how much I thought they may go for

That's a great price (when achieved), well done to all those prepared to bid for what is a once in a lifetime lot.

they have now been removed for the winning bidder

up again to a whopping £400
