Lord Snooty Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Concrete rot. Or something. Don't know the technical term. Sure there's engineers/tradesman who'll know the proper name for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theowlsman Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I appreciated the fact that Lee Strafford and Nick Parker stepped forward to try and help the club during dark times. Thanks Lee. Thanks Nick. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owlsup Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Yet again we have debate over an issue that has never been addressed or clarified by the club or authorities. Is is it usable? Does it have a safety certificate? Has planning permission been put in? Are the plans still relevant? Just be honest DC if this is true. The wednesday fans will be a lot more forgiving and help - just ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geedee Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Imo spending any money on the north west corner is like painting a shed you are going to replace next year anyway. We need to decide whether to build a new ground or rebuild Hillsborough. We then need to get on with it ASAP and do it properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
