Guest Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 walked passed yesterday, the ground looks like it could do with a fettling, the supports at the cantilever are rusted like nobodies business, would not surprise me if sumat is condemned before the fans return Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owls-swfc Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Ironwork and the actual concrete need painting.... Similar to the paint job they did at Meadowhall on concrete roof of the covered lower parking areas.. Complete with colour coding. Get the same company to do it... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimesthorpian Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 It’s only when you’re inside and its empty that you realise how dated the old lass is. Needs a major revamp. As long as the chairman’s name stands out everywhere that’s ok though, eh? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Millions and millions spent on ageing players past they sell by date and agents during last 6 years. But cant afford a few thousands on a bit of paint and a new boiler for undersoil heating. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch McLovin Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 She does need some work doing. As stated above a lick of paint wouldnt go a miss but still think we need to knock the west stand down (and cheese corner) and rebuild it. Not only would it update it to something more usable it would remove the stigma of the disaster. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parkfieldowl14 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 It seems to me that DC is more interested in having his name plastered on the stadium ie North Stand than spending a few thousand ponds on giving the old lady a decent facelift. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreshOwl Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 (edited) First off it needs to go from light blue to the actual proper shade of blue for the club Always does my head walking down to the ground and staring at a bright blue kop Edited April 13, 2021 by FreshOwl 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanharper Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Presumably the Presto Stand logo is still visible. Sure the excuse for not sorting it out before was because they needed a period of time with no fans using the stand. Well it's been 13 months now...

Basement Jack Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 It just looks terrible and neglected It typifies the club in general. The stench of decline I have to turn my head driving past Leppings Lane so I don’t catch sight of that truly awful stand. We shouldn’t underestimate the psychological impact of it all. Like when you gut a room in the house and decorate to a high standard. It lifts your well being no end Collectively that’s what should be done at Hillsborough . Like I say psychologically your environment needs to lift you. Ours depresses us despite the potential we all see Thing is... in the 70’s we were dreadful but we had a stadium to be proud of, Indeed one of the best around. Now we can’t even lay claim to that 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to justify from a business perspective Should have been done years ago. Especially considering the amount of money we have wasted on poor players. New stand or Gilles de Bilde what would have been better business. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree on that Only way to remove the stigma would be to leave the ground Just type in Hillsborough on Google and the first thing that comes up is the disaster 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lt109 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 I suspect even just a lick of paint would cost a fortune it would all have to be scaffolded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
