Due to safe distancing, we are not using changing rooms and gave the covered terracing to the away team. Initially our players were stood/sat on uncovered terracing at dugout side until we got the temporary covering a couple of weeks ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazzabee Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Thornton's fence has taken shape but helpfully there's still a few bits to complete [emoji6] Looks like they will need to put doors in there with the opening bar. Does anyone know what’s happening with the shippy floodlights. They’ve had big holes made for ages but not seen any progress 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn’t all that long ago I was last there but can’t even remember what was in that bit of the ground. Definitely wasn’t a terrace though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was confused at how they’d managed to somehow fit an enclosure in when I was remembering behind the goal being little more than a path along the width of the park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, 8Mile, it is a reinforced plastic covering, which has been hot-sealed and meant to have a five-year guarantee. we have not used the changing rooms (apart from the referee/lines persons) this season. Away team get the covered terracing, opposite the dugouts as their ‘bubble’ our players were next to dugouts, so Burgh sources the covered shelter for their players. Then we were advised that due to entry in Scottish Cup, we had to have a ‘sealed’ dressing room facilities for both sides. So, away teams will have both home/away dressing rooms - 9 in each. For home side, we had, to decide what to do, so shelved out on purchase of wood to build temp dressing room which can accommodate the hometeam. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the idea is to stick with this for a couple of seasons, then g for a proper roof structure! If only came about due to COVID and not being able to use the dressing rooms for changing. While away team had a covering, our team didn’t. When it was costed, it was quite expensive to pay a monthly fee for the uprights, so idea was to get a quick roofing structure and pay for whole thing. It definitely gives the team shelter, and was modified again, for SFA requirements for dressing rooms for Scottish Cup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdr71 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Not sure what the going rate for hiring a falconer is, but having a peregrine or an eagle owl flying about the place a few times ought to do the job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
