Wrong. If the fact is that an option exists, then that in itself is a fact. It is irrelevant that an option - that as an idea that may have been tested and found not to be viable - it remains a fact that the option was tried.

Re: Roof pictures
 

Fact is this boring and i am considering the option of yawning:D

Re: Roof pictures
 

Fact or fiction? there's two options

Re: Roof pictures
 

dont start.........:D

Pedant, yes, it's a sort of disease. :)

Tealeaf, I'm not bothered that you're wrong, really not. ;)

Re: Roof pictures
 

but where does the apostrophe go? :D

Re: Roof pictures
 

God, I've got a headache!!
Pass the asprin..... or better still, the brandy!

Re: Roof pictures
 

You wouldn't really want me to tell you on a family forum, would you? :D

Maybe it'll stop raining when the roof's finished. :rolleyes:

Re: Roof pictures
 

Had a cracking day out in Lancaster today. Caught up with a few friends and saw The Seventh Seal at the Dukes. It's good to get out in the real world. Stops you from taking the cyberworld so seriously. :D Of course, if that's all you've got.......

Another good thing is that there's going to be a roof on the Clayton End, just to keep my post on topic.

Re: Roof pictures
 

Top pics Mr.K. After working with steel for majority of my working life and basically sick of the sight of the stuff, What a refreshing change !!! I Might not be able to smoke, but at least I'm gonna stay dry next season !!! On Stanley,ON!!!!!:D:D

Re: Roof pictures
 

Not yet your not lol - they may have erected the steel work but there aint no roof yet!

Re: Roof pictures
 

At least we'll have something to hang the umbrellas off.

Re: Roof pictures
 

Just wondering,,,,has any progress been made or are you guys still getting bad weather? Is it likely to be completed in time for Citeh?

Re: Roof pictures
 

Heard the news today about ingmar bergman, timely that one of his films showing...Rest in peace..

Re: Roof pictures
 

Yep... very sad, but a good age at 89 and what a legacy he's left behind.

Re: Roof pictures
 

Re: Roof pictures
 

This 'thing' has got the 'Wow' factor.Impressive indeed. Have to agree with Ber999T that the roof itself will really define it.Those latest KIPAX pics suggest a clear roof will make it look SUPER fantastic.

Re: Roof pictures
 

Just waiting for the Ultras' flags to be sewn together and waxed then hoiked accross the impressive new framework!!! :D

Re: Roof pictures
 

Gotta be fair KJ - we haven't been that badly hit with weather in sunny Lancashire. Just across the pennines and down to the midlands, well that is a different story. But yes the framework is fantastic, I think the clayton enders will be glad when the roof slats go on to truly keep them dry lol

Re: Roof pictures
 

Re: Roof pictures
 

Yes and just imagine the acoustics.

Re: Roof pictures
 

Youv'e heard them sing yes? hehe :)

Oh no!! I just thought.... that bloomin drum will be louder than ever!

Re: Roof pictures
 

I got to just enough home games last season (6) so yes.

I sing with the Ultras away from home including home and away against Macc.

Or are you implying that the singing is not loud enough?

Re: Roof pictures
 

no.. the subject at the time was acoustics.. i am implying that no amount of acoustics will make them sound any beter.. just louder... it was a jokey remark.. i havent misssed a competative game home or away for 5 seasons so I have heard some crappy tunes.beleiev me :)

Re: Roof pictures
 

I see.

Incidentally your change of Avatar means my wife is less likely to hit me when she finds me viewing your threads.

Re: Roof pictures
 

You're favourite has always been "I Predict A Riot";)

Re: Roof pictures
 

oh purlease don't remind me :(

funniest was the leighton james song that they had to change the tempo of because people where asking why they where singing that lutel james was a bag of thingy... so they had to slow it right down when they got to the name bit :)

oh and people....it's a barrel of magnet (some yorkshire beer i fink) not a barrel of maggots.. :)

Re: Roof pictures
 

Its what I am calling a mood icon.. the way I feel this week.. all of which could become painfully apparent to everyone by tommorow afternoon :(

But lets hope not eh :)

Re: Roof pictures
 

Don't tell us the club have sacked the fishy site and we're getting one of those Premiumtv websites.:(

Re: Roof pictures
 

eeerm ok I wont then...


actually... i wonder what happened to that.. i thought we had to ahve one but didnt have to be the primary site... hmmm shhh lets not stiir that one up :)

Re: Roof pictures
 

Its got a new drum skin on it as well so even louder :)


Your avatar has nothing to do with the photographer on the Stanley myspace account does it???

Re: Roof pictures
 

I am at the club very early this morning so will do any roof pics..

john... you could change the word "on" with "and" ... however thats now been ironed out and theres a whole new problem with my league licence renewel not of the clubs doing.. hopefully sorted this morning :)

Re: Roof pictures
 

I don't really understand the need for this MySpace site. It looks poorly laid out and difficult to read. If it was done by a fan, then fair enough. To say it's done by the club.... well, you know what I think?

It also says that it will give fans a place to express their views and discuss the club, but isn't that already going on here and has been for years? I know this forum isn't always popular with the powers-that-be, so maybe that's the thinking behind this scheme?

It also says, "We will keep all supporters up to date with news". Well isn't that the purpose of the official site? It is for most other clubs. Mind you, they haven't been very successful at using that site to engage the fans, maybe the MySpace venture will be more successful?

Just seems like an attempt to be 'trendy', without really understanding the concept and use.

Re: Roof pictures
 

Edited - its ok now - its been updated and is a bit easier to navigate

Jimbo T :horn8:blower

Re: Roof pictures
 

Fingers crossed.

We remoter supporters rely on your excellent pics!!!

Re: Roof pictures
 

re: Licence.. Been down the club and Hannah has saved the day :) ... all's well that ends well..

Re: Roof pictures
 

New pics added but to be honest not all that much different.. Still more work to be done before cladding goes on and thats not a quick job.. I think it's fingers crossed for the leicester game myself..

Re: Roof pictures
 

Are you involved with the MySpace site Jimbo?

Re: Roof pictures
 

looks quite impressive.

are they going to put sides on it to keep the wind out?

any plans for the away end ?

Re: Roof pictures
 

ha-ha thats a good one! do you know any more good jokes?

Re: Roof pictures
 

Rain, and lots of it. ;)

Re: Roof pictures
 

sides is a good idea perhaps the OSC could raise the cash for them?

Loweiy

Re: Roof pictures
 

Isnt it GALLON of magnet and not barrel whilst we are being pedantic about it? :) :) :)

Jimbo T :horn8:blower

Re: Roof pictures
 

any more progress on the roof???

The Cladding is not an easy job and if not started it wont be ready for the Leicester game

Re: Roof pictures
 

Thats about the situation mister timmins.. no pics cus nowt done.. cant see it being ready for that game myself... but thats just a guess.. nothing more

Re: Roof pictures
 

So what's the problem why is the job not being finished, its not like they can blame the rain so it must be the yellow ball in the skys fault, or maybe Eric's upset the roofers?

Re: Roof pictures
 

As there are now only six days to go to the Leicester match, it's looking more and more like the roof won't be ready. So, presumably, the Clayton End will be closed, as it was for the City match. However, unlike that game, the Coppice End will be filled with away fans, so will we all have to squeeze into the Whinney Hill? And, if so, does that mean the match is now ticket only?

Could we have some answers from the club please?

Re: Roof pictures
 

You would have to ask the club in order for them to answer... :)

Re: Roof pictures
 

Fair point, Mr K, I will! :)

Re: Roof pictures
 

Shouldn't the club be making the arrangements public, without people having to ask them?
I'm not having a go. Just makes sense to me. :)

Re: Roof pictures
 

Yes they should.. But they obviously arn't doing are they? So what would you suggest we do next... My suggestion would be to ask them :)

Re: Roof pictures
 

Its finished...! All done.... the sunroof is now ready for use :)

Re: Roof pictures
 

I'll hazzard a guess and say the roof will not be finished, but the Clayton end will be open. There are no dangerous loose bits so it should be safe.
And as we don't have any prats, I think we can be trusted to stand under the half completed roof.

Re: Roof pictures
 

Thanks for that info but I'd like an offical annoucement that the sunroof is ready for use.;)

Re: Roof pictures
 

I would guess yer right redash... apart from the prats bit :)

Re: Roof pictures
 

I think we have a few prats, even been called one myself.:p

Re: Roof pictures
 

I wonder why?? :D;):rolleyes:

Re: Roof pictures
 

That's all I was saying. :)

As Redash says, as long as it's safe to do so, the Sofia Khan terrace should be open on Tuesday, even with the roof incomplete.

Is anyone opening a book on when the roof will be completed? ;)

Re: Roof pictures
 

:) I don't know please tell me.

Re: Roof pictures
 

You prat! You dont even know why you're a prat! How prat-pot is that...

:D:rofl38::laugh8:

Anyway I might do a Jungle Jim on Tuesday night along one of those girders - whose gonna catch me when I drop off the end?

Jimbo T :horn8:blower

Re: Roof pictures
 

Maybe, they're just being economical with the (t)roof. :p



(Apologies to Edmund Burke, and everybody really :o)

Re: Roof pictures
 

Groooooaaannn! :o

Re: Roof pictures
 

Any cladding going on yet Tony?

Re: Roof pictures
 

Yes - see Kipax's updates.

Re: Roof pictures
 

Seen it, I posted that a week ago :D

Re: Roof pictures
 

Been up this morning 10-00 quite a bit of cladding gone on.

Re: Roof pictures
 

New batch of piccys posted by KIPAX...WOW,gee it looks the biz.You guys should be making one hell of a din on Saturday...:Banane52:

Re: Roof pictures
 

just had a look tonight about 8:00pm,


the back bit has been done all the way along - as far as I can tell (so don't quote me on it) just the first couple of rows will get splashed if it isn't finsihed by saturday - which I'm sure it will be.


I urge everybody who likes a bit of a sing song to get as close to the Ultras as possible against Peterborough and show the club what has been missing this last couple of years!!

Re: Roof pictures
 

the roof look very impressive now and we will make one hell of a noise on a match day at last we have our roof to try nd make our ground a fortress the noise ade from under that roof will surely power over the away fans

Re: Roof pictures
 

lets have a roof party

loweiy

Re: Roof pictures
 

blatantly pillaged form the website

The Ultras don't need us to tell them how to create an atmosphere, they have proven themselves to be experts at that both home and away, however hopefully now with a roof more people will join in the singing and that can only add towards making the Fraser Eagle Stadium a fortress for Accrington Stanley."

Come on everybody lets get it on tomorrow

Re: Roof pictures
 

roof is now finished :) cladding added to the back wall see kipax's pics

Re: Roof pictures
 

Looks good and no draughts!!! :D Will also increase the sound of the ultras as only way for noise to escape is out front towards pitch...damn that's my way :o:rolleyes:;)

Re: Roof pictures
 

All the noise is already at the front :rolleyes:

Re: Roof pictures
 

Oi!!!! Harwood red isnt that noisy :rofl38: :hesoff:

Re: Roof pictures
 

You want to stand next to her or within 40 yards............:D:D

Re: Roof pictures

Re: Roof pictures
 

Hmph :mad: pick on me at your peril doug :rolleyes:

Re: Roof pictures
