Guest Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 I suggest you go and read up on it mate. The club had very very little say in the layout. Exactly and the same applies in reverse, Rossvale have a pitch, but as the council own the facility, they cant really do a lot. You dont get Council tennants putting an extension on their Council House. Whitletts paid 6 grand for dug outs in our council facility, sadly blew doon and damaged beyond repair in the high winds a couple seasons back. We also put a tv in to the bar, paid for an outside aerial to be installed, also pay the tv license, installed fridge freezers to store beer, juice etc, pie heaters to sell hot food, and theres probably a guid few things iv forgotten about. Surely if your improving the place for everyone and not just yourselves then why would the council have a problem with that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue there Terry, might be that there isn't a bar to put a tely, fridge etc etc ... into 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 The issue there Terry, might be that there isn't a bar to put a tely, fridge etc etc ... intoWe never had a bar either, we just serve from a hatch in the kitchen into a basic room with some tables n chairs in it, hence why we stuck a telly in there to at least get the fitba results up EtaAnd I don’t think our ground is perfect btw, we having nothing in the place that even suggests we play there and the atmosphere is mostly terrible due to how far away we are from the pitch, but we have done all we can to try and make it more like a home. Just saying there might be a few things you can do yourselves to make the match day experience a bit better for fans, you might even pick some more up yourselves with a few small changes 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont see it being 4 deep to be honest, but I do take your point. However as it is the last 16, I think Rossvale should take every advantage against a team that is top of the prem. Again just my opinion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnie_man Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Just looking at the pics on Non League Scotland, why are there two pens, and can you get them joined up? seems utterly pointless to me. Also, do Rossvale have a lease, or just rent per match? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree the gap between the 2 areas is a bit bizarre, don't really see the point. If it had a stepped area, it would be way better.

spit Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Give me craigmarks, kello, St rochs, dalry, anyday, they may not have the best playing surfaces but at least there's an atmosphere at they grounds, fans pay to watch, and if the grounds not upto it they won't return, hence fans boycotting your ground, if your financially stable then you've nothing to worry about, but if your dependent on fans you may encounter problems in the future if your not going to try and at least improve the spectators experience, 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iaind Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 I’m not sure if this has been answered on here, do Rossvale have plans to move to another site or is this permanent for them? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be decent as well. Regardless of surroundings, Rossvale do get the ball down and play decent football. You will get a free tea / coffee and biscuit at half time. We do try to overcome the obstacles. Drop me a message pre kick off if you fancy a chat Edited January 25, 2019 by DanMan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ex-german exile Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Cheers. Will do. Although PM doesn't always work from my phone. Most of the Ford fans know me, so ask anyone to point me out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
