Coming soon ROOF
 

Big Frank announced in the bar after Barnet match that the Clayton end roof will be coming sooner than you think following events which occured after Darlo match.:)

Re: Coming soon ROOF
 

ill believe it when i see it :rolleyes:

but sounds promising

Re: Coming soon ROOF
 

What events were they? shirt colours running :) have they worked out it will be cheaper to buy a roof than replace evryones shirt :rolleyes:

Re: Coming soon ROOF
 

Nice one :) They complain about lack of numbers but don't mind us getting p****d wet through.

Re: Coming soon ROOF
 

I'm not sure about this. Maybe it's the drink :) He might have said "Woof". Eric might be buying a big dog to keep us moaning buggers in order.:D

I think it would be a nice gesture if the Cayton End was roofed over. At least it would be full (I hope) each home game. :) :)

:D :D :D :D :D ...
I'ld imagine a roof would really throw out the sound ,you know,act like a soundshell. 1700 would sound like 3000....

Re: Coming soon ROOF
 

I also heard that but didn't know what to make of it, he didn't convince me.

Re: Coming soon ROOF
 

Frank said same thing last year and year before and year before.. he even made announcement to supporters club and gave a month the work was starting once..... why is this one more believable?

I am with mister timmins.. believe it when I see it.

Re: Coming soon ROOF
 

all part of the rallying call methinks

Re: Coming soon ROOF
 

Does anyone know if any other ground in the whole football league has both ends uncovered, please?

Re: Coming soon ROOF
 

Barnet........................

Re: Coming soon ROOF
 

having only met mr martindale in the bar a few times,the phrase money talks and bullsh*t walks comes to mind as he only says these things when he has had a few or more as i have noticed but as on supporter said to me after the darlington game re the roof :dont hold your breath :

Re: Coming soon ROOF
 

How much would this roof cost? Any realistic idea?

Re: Coming soon ROOF
 

100,000 of our finest English pounds.

Re: Coming soon ROOF
 

This really annoys me...directors shooting their mouths off. It does the club's credibility no good at all.

And what are these "events" that occurred after the Darlo match or is that something else that will be forever shrouded in mystery?

Re: Coming soon ROOF
 

Just a quick word about big frank.. (mainly for anyone who doesnt know him) . he is as frustrated as the rest of us with whats happening at the club... he did start by talking about the crowds and he did say he was going to write to the observer... frank is as passionate about stanley as the rest of us.... he works hard for stanley..his day starts before most get up.. I saw him at the stanley youth game at 10am sat morning in clitheroe sorting out the food.. he works at the game.... not only doesnt he get paid for working all day for stanley.. he actually pays to get in...nothing for free for big frank...

what i am saying is.. his hearts in the right place and he is only human like the rest of us and it can get on top of him and after a long hard mostly unnapreciated days work he may well rightly or wrongly blow off a little steam in whatever form.... so lets give a little leeway... your right he should not really give hints about the roof as a director without backing it up... but just so anyone new knows... it can be understandable in my opinion.

Franks mini goal commentary, his substitute name cockups and half time announcements where one of the first impressions i ever got of stanley and one of the many reasons why i came back :)


PS: None of the above is in any way dissagreeing wiht whats been said by WH or anyone else... just saying I cant blame him thats all :)

Re: Coming soon ROOF
 

OK, Mr K, I accept what you're saying but I'd still like to know what these post-Darlo match "events" are! :)

Re: Coming soon ROOF
 

Yea,me too.Come on guys,out with it....:confused:

Re: Coming soon ROOF
 

Well, Kiwi John, I guess we're destined never to know what those "events" are!

Re: Coming soon ROOF
 

its like an episode of LOST

Re: Coming soon ROOF
 

:) or could it be tales of the unexpected:) :)

Re: Coming soon ROOF
 

Well i just had a phone call off Frank.. seems a certain little ****e stirring member of accyweb went running to him to tell him I was having a go at him on the MB .... cheers for that... seems just my first post was quoted and not my second post backing him up.... the call was after both posts..

and yes i know who it was.

Re: Coming soon ROOF
 

I just hope when it does come that it ain't got more twists in it than the saga surrounding it.






And it dont fall down as soon as the first OH ACCRINGTON hits it

Re: Coming soon ROOF
 

:eek:
He may have got carried away about the roof but he's hardly the bull****ter you make him out to be.
Don't mean to step on KIPAX's point, but I want to air my view on this. I've been coming to Stanley for around 10 years now & Frank has always been there as far as I can remember working unbelievably hard along with the other directors - he deserves a lot more respect than this post shows.

Re: Coming soon ROOF
 

fan first, director second I am sure....

Whatever he says shouldn't really be broadcast on here IMHO as he ain't a forum member to deny or defend. Lots of things are said in that bar after the game & they sometimes need to be kept off an internet site

:) :)

Re: Coming soon ROOF
 

dish the dirt kipax, then we all deduct karma that nobody apparently cares about!

Re: Coming soon ROOF
 

Here here! He's a good friend of my uncles who was likeminded as him with regards to stanley, unfortunately my uncle died short of 10yrs ago & sadly never got to see stanleys return as he hoped would happen one day & i was privvy to meet Frank after the game at Chester - he was proud as punch despite the result - he does deserve respect he's been there all the way loyal to the core, maybe passion got a bit much for him after the darlo game but who knows what will come of it but least its recognised that a roof is what we need.

Re: Coming soon ROOF
 

nowt like a little gossip. good job were not on the stockmarket share prices would be up down up down ........maybe they think they are trying to learn from past mistakes like grandstand of 62 ....

Re: Coming soon ROOF
 

Let's just call it the Gene Kelly end till the roof's here.

Re: Coming soon ROOF
 

The Romans had the brilliant idea of covering the open stands with a canvas tent like affair, this is 2000 years ago. Maybe this is the solution to ASFC's problems with the Clayton End. Maybe not!!

Re: Coming soon ROOF
 

Stop Press.... There is already a roof at the Clayton End. Its made of a new composite material that is totally transparent and very waterproof. If you believe maybe, just maybe....with apologies to the Emperors Cloak of many colours.

Re: Coming soon ROOF
 

Who needs a b****y roof!!

What if the white bits of your shirt turn pink!!
What if you don't agree with Coley's selection!!
What if you think it's expensive!!
What if you don't think enough people turn up!!

As a regular reader (seldom poster) on here, I am absolutely fed up with all the negative comments from so-called supporters.

FFS, stop complaining... be priveliged to watch a 'live' game,as on Saturday, & thank God you don't live in the smoke, & can only pay through the nose to watch the likes of Chelski, Arse****s, etc.

After watching the 'Community Shield' yesterday, I know where I'd rather be!!
( The Chelski defence was worse than ours on a bad day!)

Re: Coming soon ROOF
 

Well said,lad. Iwould give you karma for that, but it won't let me.
