They've been smashing up inside the Bevan stand.

Are you sure? Earlier someone suggested the dug outs and tunnel had been ripped up, but they are still intact.

That's what I was told by the groundsman the other week. He's usually in the Connie Club of a Saturday evening so if I nip in I will ask him.

| I nipped down the other day, and despite notices of guard dog patrols all seemed quiet, took a few pictures as well through the various cracks and holes around the perimeter, so no trespassing needed! Looked exactly the same, and as far as I could see from my limited view the tunnel was still there. Will upload later when I'm on the laptop.
The gate they've put up on Priory Street near snookers was open yesterday when I glimpsed down whilst stuck in traffic on Wilderspool Causeway, so maybe there's going to be something happening soon.

The other week? They were definitely intact last Saturday.

| Went down to say my final goodbyes this morning before setting off to Bratfurt,not a soul about so had a good wander around inside and out.most of the place is still intact so can't see why the club can't have a leaving 'do' think Morrisseys been in though cos the scoreboards half gone, got some cracking pics and had a tearful moment stood on windy corner, if you want to get in just head for the railway end and follow the trail.

I was in there yesterday afternoon then wandered over to the 'Quarter Bar' on Springfield Street for a party. We somehow ended up with a bottle of JD to our table. Needless to say today has been a struggle!

I think he was referring to gutting it inside.

| I believe there are a number of urns containing supporters ashes at either end. I wonder what will happen to them.

So WTF have all those little tin pots full of "Wilderspool" turf that they were selling outside the Catalans game and consequently outside Wolfware, come from?? I thought my back garden was looking a little forlorn (if you'll pardon the 'almost' pun) Is someone taking advantage of our sentimentality and profiting from it?

I think this is about getting a piece of turf with all the extras like the number and stuff.
I was in Wolfware and a guy with a high-vis and gloves was delivering the potted turf and they had a little discussion about how much had been pulled up (not much, it was a few weeks ago).
I was the only customer in the shop.

They did come from Wilderspool, at approximately the 20 metre line nearest the Railway End but very close to the Snookers side touchline. Those 20 to 30 small pots hardly made a dint in the pitch though.

| Any more news or pictures of the demolition?
Also, any news on where or when the turf can be ordered or collected - wasn't it meant to be a the Community event this Saturday?

| I am sure we can all remember being on Wilderspool when the surface was so bad that there would not be enough turf on to fill a pot

| The bulldozers have moved in, there is a pic on twitter if you search for Wilderspool and choose most recent. RIP.

Some of us can also remember Wilderspool when it was the best pitch in RL, thanks to Jackie Hamblett.
