Working Parties

My first post. I shouldn't rise to the bait but this charlieboy character is doing my head in. Why do ask we're the owner is? If you were there you would know.why don't you go to the ground and find out. A non league football club doesn't run itself, you can't throw money at everything if the money isn't there. If there where more ants and Sheila's and less charlieboys maybe a bit more progress would be made. Just my thoughts.

To be fair to charlieboy, I think the point he is trying to get across is that the pitch is actually worse now then the end of the season because the club brought soil full of rocks, boulders, glass, broken crockery etc and now the volunteers going are spending all their time picking it all up instead of doing the usual painting, weeding etc... The point is, if the club could of found the funds to get professionals to do the pitch the volunteers could concentrate on other ground maintenance... Hence why we need to get volunteers down

seem to of upset a few people which was never my intension only expressing an opinion which after two seasons of all home games feel have a right to do. in regards to a comment about why dont i come and help now ,well done that last season various jobs and supplying materials and labour force no thanks for that off certain people but those who know me and appreciated what i had done i. thank you . no more comments from me as the ex groundsman has said everything i did .

Just come back from the Grove, pitch is now all cut, my arms have stopped shaking from the mower, and a fair amount of re-seeding is taking place.

Turfing to the goalmouths will be taking place this week, and although there is still more than enough to do, it is 100% better than last week.

Colin Brookes was there, Morrison's bag in hand picking up debris from the pitch.

Would be good to see a good few of us there Tuesday, commitments permitting.

Just got back from another mini shift. I was there last on Saturday lunchtime and it was much improved then, but there is a noticeable difference now tonight after Sunday and tonights work. Not many of us there tonight but hopefully a good number will be there on Thursday and the weekend.

I have to mention Colin Brookes, there again tonight picking up stones off the pitch for the best part of two hours. The man is an absolute credit to this football club. With all due respect though, at his age he shouldn't be doing that, nevermind the fact he is chairman. He was though, because he cares dearly about this football club.

Please, over the next couple of weeks or so try and give just a couple of hours to do some grass cutting, weeding, strimming, painting or whatever to help Ant at the ground on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays

Well said Rob - good to see you earlier.
I just wondered when I was driving home if you were having memories of the Villa with all the crap currently on our pitch?

Thought the same on Sunday when he was there, total respect for him, will be there on Thursday and the weekend, and would be good to see some progress on the goalmouths

I should be there tomorrow, if only for a short while, helping a mate out down the Power League at 8!
