The State of Roots Hall

Forums New posts

An absolutely brillant effort, for the love of our club, by all of those who came into Roots Hall on Sunday. There's just a thought which niggles me. What would have happened if that voluntary force hadn't undertaken the Cleaning operation? Would Martin have brought in a professional cleaners at the eleventh hour or would he have left the Hall in it's festering state, with the certaInty of Saturday's game being postponed or switched???

Ron wouldn't have done anything.

People are quick to say we're doing Martin's job for him. But actually this action from the fans has also made the club more attractive to potential new owners. It will be them paying to fix the place up, not Ron Martin.
 
That young lad in the shrimpers zone banner, wearing the yellow shirt.
I remember him

He was so excited to do something for the club that he must love.

When i was getting water from the teams changing room, he came up to myself and asked if he could clean the SUFC teams changing room. (i was just a seat cleaner)
But,
He looked so excited just to be there, so excited to be doing something for HIS CLUB, OUR CLUB.

Now that is SUFC community, SUFC Family.

We looked at the teams dressing room what a dark depressing place feel for the team using that every match and what about those showers ☹️

Looks like a totally different pitch!

Amazing the difference stripes make. Never underestimate a pitch or lawn until its had a fresh cut.

Plus the weather at the moment will be perfect for the grass. Not to hot means its not going to go brown and dormant and plenty of rain showers to water the pitch for free.

I'm assuming that the water storage container in the North East corner is fed from rain water run off from the North bank and East Stand. If not the club are missing a trick for some free water. Similar to a home where a water but is fed from the downpipe for rainwater from the roof.

Would a plastic pitch be a sensible move? Initial outlay but major reduction to maintenance I would have thought and also could we then train at RH and save cost on training ground facilities? If we are trading as an insolvent company I wonder if it's a way to reduce running costs?

Plus the cost of removing it if we get promoted at some point.

Yes I noticed that, the pitch will certainly suffer when that happens!

Probably not as much as you would expect. Hybrid pitches seem to hold up very well. Certainly the pitch at the Municipality Stadium looked incredible even after a rugby match when me and my family had a tour round it.
