Barriers being fixed at the bottom as well.

Deciding what ex manager to name the stand after

 

Interviwing the construction workers, see if they want a job next week...

 

It's the Beppe Garcia Macca Memorial Stand. It's got a bit of a ring to it

 

Job Centre has put it around that the club are hiring head coaches so they are awaiting their next employment.

 

Premier Albanian were always pretty good coaches. They have the Premier link and being Albanian that foreign requirement that is essential. Sign 'em up I say.



Edit - You really have to be straight out of West Watford to get this one.

 

They still gong?

 

Just catching the last few rays before the sun goes down.

 

Nah - long gone Aberdeen. The depot is now a bunch of small flats. Called Premier Court if I recall correctly.

 

Round our way there's a coach firm called Souls. The buses all have 'Souls of Olney' on the back.
Once upon a time the slogan included the initial of Mr Soul, and the buses travelled round with 'R. Souls of Olney' written on them. True.

 

Full opening put back...again. Now saying end of November (insert year).

 

They haven't done much on the outside it seems!

 

I know I'm a bit late in replying to this but I think it was one of those open times for STH from the old stand to try out where they may like to sit? My understanding is they are allowed to choose; please note the sun at 6pm in October and remember you will need a cap and sunglasses for most afternoon games!

 

I don't know why, in the meantime, they just don't allow people in to the unfinished part of the stand, let them sit on the concrete and wear coats and use umbrellas if it's raining. It can't be any worse than the old Gene Kelly Stand.

Mmmmmm. Does anyone else think that it shows the new stand on a much reduced scale next to the other 3 sides.....

Still, better than dereliction I suppose.

 

Just remember what it had been like for many years before....
