just to let all know the stadium modifications are looking to get moving next weekend,
test drilling will be done to find out requirements this week and a hopefully we get the required apparatus that will help us sort these problems out.
I've given the club a shopping list and they understand what we require,

now I have had a few that have offered help and would now like to see if your available at any given time over the coming weekends, the best way is to pm me with name contact details and when your available.
rather have everyone stood around watching we will try and keep it to a minimum.
Ideally we will be looking someone that can labour using a grinder, heavy duty drill, breaking concrete and digging (this will depend on tests) if you can stick weld the better be able to give me a rest

I'm ok for next Saturday all day,obviously Sunday is the big game.Let me know if required and what time,cheers.

ok bud

i can do saturday

pm sent

Pm sent.

Now my kids are all grown up I've loads of Meccano, Lego and Duplo that you can have foc.

not

Interesting that your kids have grown up yet you haven't.

cheers pal

got it bud be in touch

test drilling done in 6 places shows a good depth of 6" to anchor the bolts in the correct manner, intentions are to fab six brackets weld them on and fasten down with resin and anchor bolts and retest that area to prove that they will work, if that doesn't do the trick we have to revert to a second plan which will mean bracing from the front

Well done Snowie and all those that have offered to help.



But could we not ask the pratt from H&S not to push so hard on the barrier

Good efforts from everyone. What timescale do you have for completion??

we have about a dozen or so including a few lady's willing to help tidy, paint and general helping out, at the mo we don't have a time scale but to give you some idea there are 30 plus barriers each having two legs so if the bkts work on a retest and if it takes half an hour to do one Bkt then your looking at 30 hours work plus, that's just for the west stand, the east stand will get the same attention with another group so should be a lot easier.

the north stand will again need the same group as the west stand but we haven't got a decision on this, but I would like to think that the West stand is the hardest to do

so a six week fix is achievable again depending on retests, weather and time that we can put in for them.

just to let you now I have had a rival fan willing to put in his help later within the month which will help me out a lot as at the mo I'm the only welder

Great to see. Thanks for everyone's efforts

Can I just publicly thank you for all the help you have shown so far. It's efforts such as this, that make everything worthwhile.

who ever signed to say that the work was done and paid for it wants want's his head seeing to

its ok you owe me a drill bit

, that bloody stand is rock hard if they had put the bolts downward we might not have this issue

Would you trust them to install solar panels and windows

Snowie, do you need to be coded or not?

no, you do need to know what your welding, any position

I'm going to get down to the stadium on Saturday for around 9-30, if anyone is coming down with intentions of helping make sure you have some decent work wear and boots if possible, we will have a briefing around 10ish on the work to be done and safety while working

get rapped up rain expected

Dose that mean wear a baseball cap, loads of gold chains/rings and turn up in a blacked out 4x4 with 20" chrome rims?

you want to try and ttyping on is new ssodding laptop I've just bought the key board double types ssome timess and is driving me mad, its bloody going back but might not get the £300 of soft ware that's been put on it arrrrrrrrrgh
