Should be the board but they’re too busy organising too many home friendlies. The board are constantly asking for help in running all departments of this football club, they have made absolutely no secret of the fact that they are far too busy and need support. Organise it on here! 1. Ask the Club what day would best. - 01244 371376 2. Start a thread about volunteering that day 3. On that day turn up and help the club. STOP CONSTANTLY COMPLAINING YOU'RE GROWN MEN. This forum is ridiculous. Seems a rather aggressive response to people who may want to volunteer, subject to an appropriate invitation. Are you a current board member, or just a general busybody?

It will be the same after Fridays match, 2 home friendlies at this stage of pre-season is ridiculous and very amateur in my opinion. Wonder how many other teams in this league have as many home friendlies as we do, would be interesting to see.

Maron Needham was the contact for volunteers. I put my name and number forward and received a call when needed. Also her husband John was always there doing some thing or other. Yes, I did the same. Marion was SO hard-working. She and John are going to be sadly missed.

These jobs will be done as only had 4 weeks renovate pitch lack of equipment ect the pitch became priority as half the time needed to get it ready . After recent health scare i was told to take time off but never did as was 2 days before pitch work took place . Sorry for letting everyone down. Nobody wants that pitch right more than me but club aint got the money so got to do best with what we got .as for the tracks had some weedkiller delivered now but will spray when nobody at ground as the keep off the pitch sign is up everyone walks over it regardless so dont want it spreading onto the pitch . All down to respect end of the day and i think most think the sign is up for show i could go on but no point not letting it get me down. Also thanks for offer for help will see about a day to catch up on jobs once next 2 games are out the way.

If people aren’t staying off the pitch maybe pass it up the chain of command? Sure it’s ignorance rather than wilful negligence.

Whatever happened to the local scouts and ‘Bob a Job Week’? - Those were the days.

Overworked and under equipped, the board have a lot to answer for. 4 home friendlies in less than a month whilst being expected to get the pitch ready (without a ride on mower) for a new season, very very amateur.

Obviously didn’t read the programme with an article about the new mower with a picture of him using it , it’s obvious you have so affinity to Mike , but any other ground can handle 4 uses in the entirety of preseason. The initial thread was about the state of the overall stadium not the pitch regardless.

You may have a point, but you've repeated yourself quite a few times now, we get it! Hopefully Baz can get sort a day out where he can get some bodies to come and help out with the appearance work. Sounds like he's doing the best he can during some difficult circumstances with the pitch.

Si,even if the poster makes the point many times, its still factually incorrect.... a bit like some of the Brexit arguments! The original story was not referenced to the pitch. However Mike and his mates pile on to turn it into that. Shame. If there is a shortage of equipment then surely that could have been sorted - that doesn't prevent the work around the outside of the ground.

As has been stated above my original post has been twisted by some into a vandetta against the board and the groundsman. My post was about the state of the exterior, the entrance gates fencing, the weeds growing around the entrance to the ground and the general appearance of the stadium. I never mentioned the pitch as I assumed it was a work in progress, I even doubled down that I was not here looking to blame but hoping in highlighting it, it may be resolved or to find by subsequent response that something was already in place as Ii’m not the only one that noticed . I thank all those that assist and help in any capacity past and present we pretty much all want what’s best for our club.

In view of some of the irrelevant and virulent comments above, perhaps everybody ought to look again at the highlighted word from the original post!
