Not just the pitch yesterday so noticeable but quite a few floodlight bulbs out too, it's quite sad to see the run down state of things at the EBB these days. How much longer can we keep going on patching things up in a stadium like this?

Did anyone see the state of the scoreboard. The bottom line had only 3 correct words plus char presumably for charters Peugeot. All other words blank. Utterly pathetic

Patience. New stadium will be finished next year. Chairman said.

Interesting fact I recently discovered, the Empire State Building took 13 months to build.

The EBB however? :lol:

If you revisit the development plan on the official site, brush off the cobwebs and you will see that Phase 1 is due to begin in 2025. So that’s all right, then, 11months within which to excavate the first forkful. Maybe the initial procurement and planning are secured…. but we wouldn’t know , anyway , would we?

Hopefully that poor effort of a new ground never happens.

This season communication from the club is zero so is it any wonder people give them stick they certainly don’t help themselves. I guess Shahid has a column in the programme and that’s enough.Wonder if there is any mention of the injury to Ellison as he has been mysteriously absent until yesterday doing some sprints with the physio.

The pitch is struggling really bad, there has to be something going wrong somewhere for it to be in that condition. The Rec is really looking sorry for itself, without the volunteers I do wonder how much worse it would be on the eye.

It never ceases to amaze me that he uses the programme to communicate anything. How many people actually see that for gods sake!
The guy is supposed to be in IT, how could anyone in that environment think that is a sensible way of communicating?

Why did they not communicate the crowd problems and fine through the programme? Oh that will be because they want to make sure we all know about it; and there I guess its the explanation for communicating in the programme :wink:

The club is a lost case with this current leadership I'm afraid

Rob said that Ellison was fit and available yesterday.

I would have thought the clubs fine was post programme printing deadline, so expect to see it in next Saturdays production. Anyway we shouldn't be printing now it should all be on-line.

Too many games, in too short a time in too poor weather. Simple as that.

That's a concise and believable post, thanks for taking the time to reply.

Our project timeline is more like that of the Sagrada Familia in Barca.
