energyzone Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Just walked past Buffs Park and they are continuing with their cracking work so you should contact someone from there.If anyone from the buffs is reading this what are you guys doing down at the river end behind the goals? Looks like an area is being built facing away from the park. If it's the building with the blue roof it's a new turnstile, suitable for disabled access. There's also a section that the Buffs seem to have acquired directly next to it which has been used for car parking recently. Apparently this is where the new clubhouse and changing rooms will be located once finances are arranged. There was a blueprint for it on the official Facebook page a few weeks ago. The present changing facilities are totally inadequate for this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wintonfan Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Another option that may be cheaper or at least easier is to get 40' shipping containers, place on a solid surface with 1 side facing the pitch and cut the side out. You will need to keep the strengthening uprights in to support the roof. The corrugated sheet that is cut out can be used for any repairs. The guys at lochgelly stock car track have used these a fair bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing this without permission could result in it being removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garrellburn Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Allowing 2 feet per spectatorand with four 2 foot wide steps, first one at ground level and 8" rise between them you could accommodate up to 80 quite easily in a container with still 6 foot headroom on the rear step. You can buy s/hand containers for a couple of thousand pounds, probably even cheaper for beat up ones. Allow another 1k for transport, paint and slabbing, we got about 800 linear feet of 3x2 slabs free to uplift from monoblock contactors to repair our own terracing a few years back. All you need are a few volunteers and -Hey Presto, a servicable little covered enclosure for not more than 3 grand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kilsyth Coyle Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 The containers look not too bad! Wee lick of paint to suit your Clubs colours, and maybe a few adverts to the rear or inside and it would look great [emoji106] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The clean living guy Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 I'm sure Civil Service converted bike sheds into a covered enclosure in the lowland league. No idea how it looks right enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
