A fit MCColm could be the difference

The beer is good thou

PM’d you the answer

Wrong club, that was me at the buffs. he sells bitpies, bits of steak and bits of sausage

Maths

if you could be bothered, aye I suppose

I didn’t make the switch as you put it. I resigned as the Buffs chairman due to lack of support on an issue from the committee. I was asked to help with some projects at Darvel around ground improvements, something I enjoy doing, so I’m doing that. I’m glad I’m still in your thoughts

My big team obviously. I also had a team before the Buffs but shhh don’t tell anyone

The work was required to keep the ground open and usable, the original plan would have closed 50% of the ground for this match, which would have then been the SFA requirement going forward due to grass surface, this would have been difficult to steward on a match day. This work was already planned for the summer just brought forward for the cup match. the works been completed on time and under budget to a higher spec than originally set out.

At Darvel 6 new turnstiles have been added and 3 new 4m emergency exit gates, the ground can be evacuated in 7mins I think that’s the main difference with newlandsfield, the P&S factor calculation of the ground is actually about 4500, it was lowered to 4000 to be safer on 2 people per sqm rather than 3 or 4. the barriers are rated at 40 newton per kg, and uprights are spaced at 1.2m rather than 1.5m to increase strength, Aberdeen we’re also offered OXO crush barriers to be hired in. All the ground works are complete and achieved on schedule and the car park is being tidied up at the moment. Given Aberdeens current form maybe they’d prefer to play this at another ground as it doesn’t suit them There nothing wrong with the works done, the safety calculations or the match safety plan.

We have multi exit points. Ie Buffs can empty the “park” in minutes onto other pitches if there’s an incident like fans letting off fireworks etc and something goes wrong

About 2200

it’s more about how many you can squeeze out in a hurry

I did have a look but you can’t play trailists or Kev Nicol in Cup games

What is it I’ve done now? I didn’t delete minutes of any meetings.
