Assessor from insurance company is there today looking at it.
It's a proper mess though as we can see from the pictures. Plus there will now be issues with damp everywhere and the smell as well.
Not good at all. But club are all over it with the insurance company. Hopefully see things start moving forward in the next few days.
Fingers crossed everything goes well with the assessor and the insurance company crack on. It's in both our interests to get this resolved with immediate effect

I know it isn't a conspiracy, but looking on the bright side it gives Ron and Reg the chance to get every single one of them useless bastards from Saturday running up and down the river path with a tractor tyre on their backs for 2 hours tomorrow and Thursday.

I thought the Uni owned the ground, if not then that's all the Ward money gone to keep up with the Stadium. The uni do own the ground. But it's down to the club to make repairs, improvements and general maintenance

Our ground is just fine thanks. Hence why all our home games have been played and not called off.
We host concerts to pay for the rent and up keep of the stadium. So the ward money is safe to be used in other areas.
An article from 2015 doesn’t hold much sway when your ground is falling apart around you.
It’s quite funny you mock our ground, yet yours can’t even be used!
You have fallen lower than a snakes belly in a submarine.

Just needs some maintenance which is what your 3 sides need, a concert would contribute but not all.

Just a question Say if this situation can't be sorted for awhile where would we actually play our home games ? Would we ground share ?

More silly goaty boy stuff on here. I don't think it come to that but if it did we'd look at somewhere decent. Crewe? Macc? Highly doubt it though.

More likely Witton Albion! Could we use Wembley? Spurs won't be playing there every week. If our insurance company moves at the usual speed it could take weeks to get started. Depends on whether it's done in house or with quotes. They tend to come out quick to get a view of the damage, and to make sure you haven't had chance to add a bit more to increase the payout. Then they come back with an itemised list of damage with values against each item. You then challenge it etc etc. Then someone needs to be appointed, and then start the work. Health and Safety inspection then needs to be done. Just what we didn't need, on a number of levels.

The insurance company might be more inclined to get a shift on if they are also liable for other business losses (e.g drop in turnover etc)

This sounds catastrophic to be honest. I think we could be without a home game for over a month. Lucky for us other than FC United, Hereford and Bradford PA we don't have another home game until October 13th barring a cup draw which could be a home match on the 22nd September so we have plenty of time to get this done properly and not rushed.

Flooding has happened in the past. On that occasion a man and lad were dispatched to the roof to find the source of the leak and repair it. The electrical circuits were dried out fixed and tested. A cleaning company attended to the sodden carpets and new ceiling tiles were obtained from a company in Queensferry. I don't recall a match being lost. "Insurance,WE can't wait for that, get the job done,said the chairman" SV !!!

Slightly disappointed this doesn't mention the likely situation for Saturday. Seems pretty impossible that the game can take place at our ground, so alternatively the game needs to be moved to FCUM if agreeable (although can understand it's too short a turnaround for them) or rearranged. Either way, with 3 days to go people need to know so that they can plan their weekends. I suppose the good thing is that it's early enough in the season to find an alternative date, rather than towards the end of the season which could cause a backlog of fixtures. Plus we get some nice new equipment from the insurance company! The negative side of it is that the players could get rusty with 2 weeks without a game, and stewing on the Blyth horror show, and potential loss of earnings with sponsors and reduced attendance given that the match would likely end up being played on a Tuesday night at a time when the weather is not as kind and more footy on tv. What an absolute ballache.

What an absolute ballache. Hi Si. We're unable to make any announcement on Saturday and next Tuesday yet until the National League and the opposing teams have been consulted. There is protocol that must be followed here, and if we didn't follow that correctly the club would find itself in a very difficult position explaining why we'd not followed procedure. Last thing we need is more problems! Hope that clears things up on that side of things, and of course as soon as we're able to announce anything relating to both games then we'll do it as we do of course recognise the need to advise supporters of what plans to make for the weekend and next Tuesday. Knowing the difficulties of that experienced around trying to shift the kick off time for the Liverpool pre season friendly, it's a completely different kettle of fish trying to shift an entire game when considered what goes into matchday preparation. Thanks Jeff

"A company called Hannah Industrial & Commercial Services Ltd was owed £143,750, yet that company was only formed in February 2009 and is in the business of contract cleaning. Yet in 3 months Chester City had racked up a debt of that magnitude. If spent on cleaning that works out at over £11,000 per week to keep the Deva spick and span!"

It is disappointing that no official communication in regard to the source of leak has occurred. Has it been identified? Has it been repaired? Driers scheduled on site today, so why has this taken three days? There have been valid complaints in the past regarding lack of clear communication. Surely we need to know. Ironically, TV last night talked of top clubs not needing any spectators in order to be financially viable. We are at the other end of the spectrum and need all the income possible from home games. Surely we can do a “Marine” and run a home game from a ground with three sides.
