The State of Roots Hall

[BoyWonder2]

Have we actually got the safety cert for Roots Hall?
I've seen it mentioned on here that the cert had been given but that's news to Anna Firth.
Fire inspection was today apparently but not sure what else is needed

Not at the moment, no.

Not at the moment, no.

So in theory it's possible that certain parts of the ground could be closed off?.

I suspect it could be a possibility

Before the end of this season, not saying anything has happened over the summer, but parts of the ground have been closed off.

Will the DIY volunteer army even be allowed in on Sunday if the place is unsafe

It was the season before last I think when there was a tree growing in the roof and water was pouring in through the ceiling while queuing for a pint.

Instant fail on that wall and possible closure of those facilities in the west...thus stand closure?

 

[Strykr]

Pretty heartbreaking tbh, so many memories there.

Where would people in the West sit?

Where would people in the West sit?

Martin's seat in the Director's Box will be empty ---- we could all sit there.

Queensland, India, Phi Phi islands and Brazil. I have had some of the best nights of my life in bars like that.

Say aye to that but at least the rain was warm and the bar maids entertained. No such luck in the WS.

Rather than long queue for a wobbly pint of Fosters and a Wagon Wheel the WS need to up its game with a more international theme.....Arrive in private hired tuk tuk, have a fight with an Auzzie over a ladyboy and then get robbed at gun point by Policia would be a good start any evening.

Any idea actually what needs doing in order to make the great matchday ready?

We were led to believe that it was only minor remedial work. With a small army of fans, some of which are skilled tradesman, going on Sunday to clean and tidy and repair the ground. Surely it will scrape through again?

 

[waldo]

So do they need tradesman? What trades?

I would imagine anyone able to repair, plaster and paint would be most welcome. Maybe carpenters and sparks may be needed too.

I think these were the last requests

I’m no tradesman but I’m happy to lend a hand. Any idea if it’s tradesmen only needed. It’s our club after all.
