All looking great, is Craig doing the steps down from the patio? Coming on a treat !!

Shout loud when the concrete arrives - I might be able to get over one evening, hope it works out to be one I'm free (not Thursday obviously !!).

Mad Dogs and Englishmen (and Craig Adams - WTFC 1st Team Manager), completed the Patio steps in the Midday sun this afternoon.

A bit more to do to repair/redo the first 2 rows above, but mostly complete now.

Currently it looks like concrete will be coming during the day on Friday - but will confirm once I get that info from those arranging the delivery.

Quick Update.

We will now have concrete arriving at 2pm Friday (tomorrow 12th July) for the base. We have a few volunteers already but if anyone else wants to help please feel free to come down for just before 2pm. If you come for concreting bring old clothing/boots etc.. as it can get messy. We probably need to get some barrowed down to the far end of the pitch as well, so a few more would be useful.

There is also a bit of painting to do around the laundry/cleaning cupboard, if that is preferred.

DnD Pitch Update

We've just had the pitch scarified and all the dead thatch removed. It will get a cut in the next couple of days as well, and then should be just about ready for marking up etc.. ahead of the first game on Thursday and our match on Saturday.

The DeBanke goal area is still recovering a bit and had some work done last night - that will be cut later (under sheets for now).

Concrete and handrails done earlier yesterday.

Ready to pour the concrete for the base for turnstile area.

40 minutes or so later, all done

The path at the far end was also repaired (a couple of bits left to do).

And the Patio handrails (entry/exit areas to Patio, to be kept clear).

Thanks again to the volunteers that came down to help today.
