Re: Clayton End Roof
 

Rob & Kipax talkin in riddles .... so tell us what you know NOW!

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

Jase its simple... surprised at an educated man like yerself :)

Its a bet you NEVER have to pay out..

A bit like the person who bets you they can give up smoking... always take the bet because they can never collect and you might if they smoke..

If you bet me the clayton end roof will never be done.. when could you ever win your bet??? but i could if its built anytime...

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

My brain hurts now.........;)

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

Joking apart, isn't it time the club told us exactly what's the score with the Clayton End roof? Is it going to happen in the foreseeable future, or not?

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

Ultras need a roof to make the noise muchos muchos louder!!!!!!!

Maybe if we ain't got the cash the Ultras can start a raise the roof campaign....

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

And so it came to pass that god said you will build a new and better life for yourselves and I will pick a leader that will take you forward, he will be of good character and have played a bit of footy in his time, he shall be called Eric (because Moses is already taken). He will lead you to pastures new like the conference and eventually you will reach the promised land of Full League status as it is written. He will need helpers who shall pick because of their footy backgrounds and one has the same initials as my boy JC, now be off and get on with it as I am busy sorting out Barrow and turning it in to a place people want to go to and I can only do so many miracles and this is a toughie.

So it came to pass (again) that Eric had to have words with the big man, this time because some of the followers were not the happiest because of rumor and gossip.

“I have come to have a quick word”

“Ok” says the big guy “what can I do for you?”

“Well it seems that the reason we didn’t get promoted is that we didn’t have a roof on the Clayton End and the followers asked me to have a word and see if you could do a little miracle and put a roof on”.

“Well I know its been a few years and your progressing well but I am still working on making Barrow a place that people want to live in and after that I had hoped to make Morecambe a town people want to visit and not throw up in, so as you can see I have two of the biggest jobs ever”.

“That’s true, but what shell I tell the followers”?

“Ok tell them when Barrow is habitable and Morecambe are not the laughing stock of Lancashire I will put on a nice new Red Roof”.

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

Well said; I am beginning to feel quite strongly about it. Nobody should have to stand in the pouring rain for 2 hours.

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

Well the first bit about Barrow seems to be credible but the Morecambe bit seems to lend credence to Kipax & his bet! Still confused Willie?

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

I'm particularly attracted to Loweiy's projected date in June.

This very much ties in with what ASFC Director Frank Martindale told the Supporters' Club at our Meeting on Monday April 11th 2005.

If you really want to know what's happening at Accrington Stanley, and to know about it before everyone else, join the Official Accrington Stanley Supporters' Club.

You'll find us at www.stanleysupporters.co.uk

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

Unfortunately, some of us can't get to supporters club meetings for various reasons - work, distance etc. So, could somebody please tell us what Frank said?

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

Frank said work would start in June... ie next month

Loweiy bets June next year

Henry Morton shoots himself and the supporters club in the foot yet again

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

I aggree, supporters should not have to stand in the rain for 2 hours.

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

Don't get on here much, but off today so I'll leave a comment on the roof or two, ie both ends need a roof, but if the Clayton End can be ready for next season thats great.

Can someone tell me, if Stanley had got into the play offs and won, could they have gone into the football league with the ground as it is now? I would be very surprised.

I've been on about ten or twelve conference grounds and I'm sorry to say they were all much better than ours.

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

Yes the ground has been passed as ok for league.. has been for quite some time.. before we got in conference.

Also new stand on other side of pitch (cowshed) when we get promoted

I ahve been on all conference grounds and yes 90% are better than ours... BUT over half of ours is covered so no one has to stand in the rain.

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

Just got a quick message from God........... won't have finished Barrow by June 2100 or Morecambe so if Eric can pull it off by june 06 then he can have my job.:) (smiley from big g)

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

OK , so I misread Loweiy's proposed date.

The fact remains that a Director of ASFC told us June 2005, and to me that's better than any amount of rumour and tittle-tattle.

And why is it necessary to make an unpleasant remark about me shooting the Supporters' Club in the foot ?

I've been criticised for NOT telling all and sundry what was said at Meetings ; now I'm getting flak for giving out some info.

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

Well we are one week off June... You stick with that one then... Can't see many other people going for next week as the answer though :)

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

Sorry, Henry I wasn't criticizing you for not telling us - I was just genuinely interested to know what Frank said. Apologies if it read that way.

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

Basically, that's it. All plans passed and work to commence in June 2005.

I take your point about distance, work, etc. , and I've been championing that cause for some time.

Indeed, for the benefit of those Members unable to attend meetings I posted Frank's comments on the Supporters' Club Forum last month.

The upcoming season will see a monthly newsletter for Members , including (subject to approval by the Supporter' Club) a copy of the Minutes of each Meeting.

Joining the Supporters' Club makes sense because, amongst other things (a) You get a nice warm feeling:) , (b) You receive information which is not yet in the public domain, (c) Your modest subscription goes towards improving facilities at the ground .

Remember, when you have your first pee in the new toilets built into the Clayton End, that the money to provide them was raised by the Supporters' Club.

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

OK, OK, you've convinced me! I'll be sending my application in the post tomorrow!

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

I have just had an e-mail from Frank to say that work on the Clayton End Roof will start in June.
Thank you for the info; presumably it should be ready for the beginning of the season.

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

That's great news, Jimmy.

It's also typical of Frank to make the effort ; he's a great guy.

You created this original thread , you persisted with it , and you got the answer you wanted. Well done.

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

You would think the club might have mentioned it by now.. newspaper, website, forum ? But no.. just an email from a director to a fan...


Unless.... hmmm gosh.. you dont suppose the word GULLIBLE is appropriate do you?
.










.
Edited to a more appropriate word after being scolded by fearon :)
.. in fact Gullible is certaily more appropriate in this case:)

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

Language kipax children go on this board ;)

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

Obviously, Kipax, I can see what you're alluding to. However, my mind doesn't work in Machiavellian ways, so I take what people say at face value unless anything important depends upon it. I don't know jimmymac, in fact I don't even know whether his is a nom de plume for another poster. If you go through life thinking that you're going to get shafted , you'll never pass a worthwhile opinion or perform a worthwhile act. No shining armour needed.

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

henry..its called common sense.. if i was you i would start using yours and forget about the clayton end and june...

or you can ignore me and go with jimmymac and his email from big frank who hasnt even got email... your choice of course :)

DUH!

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

It's now the second week in June, how about some pictures of the progress of the roof Kipax.

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

Your asking the wrong person JEFF . shouldnt you be asking Henry and his special friend jimmymac who has a magic email hotline to the club directors :)

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

i work with frank and as far as im aware frank has trouble starting a computer let alone sending an email

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

has there been any progress ?????

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

Work is "apparently" to be getting started around December :rolleyes:

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

tut tut..!! not ready 4 the new season then! http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/i...cons/icon9.gif

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

Dont need it in summer though really

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

whoever jimmymac is he is a lier as i spoke with big frank martindale who confirmed he did not send any email and he hasnt got a email address as kipax rightly informed you, sorry Henry but this time Mr KIPAX IS WRIGHT

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

The floodlights on the Coppice Terrace have been removed.....

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

Good news Smiffy........ what other reason could there be ???? Broken ? doubt it

Have ya seen it with your own eyes Smiffy ??

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

I have today but thats the Coppice not the Clayton End

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

There's me getting over excited again :(

Maybe the contractors are confused :)

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

http://www.thisisblackburn.co.uk/lan.../STANLEY0.html

Could be part of this report..

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

I think you will find December is the first month cafu01 thouht of when replying..I wouldnt put much store by it.

was at the ground tonight (supporters club meeting). yes that old floodlight has gone but must confess i didnt notice until someone pointed it out. existing floodlights need sorting..not all of them are pointing where they should be:)

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

Next season, Heys is confident, will be even better.

"It feels a lot more like you're working for ... not a `real' football club, but you know what I mean.

Do we?;)

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

Thats when i was told work should be starting by someone at the club.......... but this will probably be put back un till the summer, and then back to December 2006, then summer 2006 and so on :D
