Further Updates on the Ground Grading improvements at Hayden Road.
As from previous thread - this was planned for this coming Saturday.
--
3/ On Saturday 9th March, the Peter Debanke Stand will be moved to the right by 11 metres (when looking from the pitch) to accommodate the new 150 seat stand, which will replace the current Mick George stand.
--
On Tuesday the Mick George stand went offsite, to it's new owner.
RJC Lowloaders (Higham) - http://www.rjclowloaders.co.uk/ , transported the old Mick George stand, which had been left on the ground to the side of the DeBanke from the crane moves, for easy collection.
The DeBanke move work was actually brought forward and Datona https://www.datona.ltd.uk/ were onsite and shifted the stand over 11m on Tuesday 5th March, after unbolting it the day before. It is now fixed in position. so everything is now clear for the work to start on the building of the new 150 Seat Stand, which should commence on Monday 18th March, with Stadium Solutions. Look out for a thread and tweets on progress of this as it is built onsite.
Initial unbolting and move of a couple of meters done on Monday - before Mick George stand went offsite - work done by Datona Ltd.
Move completed - 11 metres right toward exit gate.
This then exposes the new location of the Club Shop and Dale's Bar. The area will be jetwashed and cleaned (was previously under the stand of course).
DeBanke stand now offset from centre - this is to allow enough room for the new stand to go in at the left hand side.
Views from the pitch.
In addition the power has been reinstated to Dale's Bar and the Club Shop, with Network and Audio cabling to follow shortly.
Next Steps
The next volunteer works going on at Hayden Road, on Thursday and possibly Sunday are to prep and concrete the area in front of the new locations of the Shop and Dale's Bar so these are linked to existing pad, clean up the rest of the pad (jetwash) before the new stand is built, and some general tidying for access. The yellow hashed lines will also be extended to match the new stand locations. In addition some more painting will happen inside as well in the changing rooms, and new tunnel area.
