Clayton End Roof
 

Hello,does anyone know if the roof panels are on yet for todays game,taking my 2 kids so just need to know if its water proofs or light jackets for today.

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

There are numerous posts already on this subject, but the answer is no, there is no roof yet. Apparently there will be no work on the roof until there is a 'window in the fixtures'..... whenever that is.

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

ok thanx for that,sorry not seen the other forums on this subject.

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

Window in the fixtures?! You are joking. the next window in the fixtures starts next May. If they don't get this job finished asap it will drag on forever. We were told that the roof would hopefully be done for the Leicester match, then it was 'hopefully for the Darlington match' I'm afraid the club needs to get its act together on this one. If they need helpers to put the cladding on I'm willing to volunteer!

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

well the club has had to wait for the contracters to come back off their holidays.

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

Well what is it that then break in fixtures or holidays :D

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

It's to do with health and safety. They would have to shut the Sophia Khan terrace if they were cladding the roof, so they have to wait until we have a gap in the fixtures to start the work, otherwise the whole end would be closed, as at the recent Manchester City game.
If you notice, there are no pallets of cladding delivered yet, as i assume that the storage of building materials would be a health risk too.

I have no idea when it's going to get done, but maybe when we're knocked out of the FA Cup by some non-league minnow, it'll open up a window in the fixture list. :D

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

looks like were in line for a good cup run and all at home:)

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

Says in Fishy site "wait for a larger window within the first few weeks of the season"
My guess is there gonna start next week as they have a 2 week gap, failing that its gonne be 22nd Sept

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

or over christmas:D no but at least most of its done. more than last season things are looking up :):Banane29::Banane29::Banane29::Banane29::Banane2 9::Banane29:
the reds the reds

Let's face it, this is Accrington Stanley. Nothing ever runs smoothly. The roof will come when it comes.

There will have been a cock-up. Someone will have forgotten to order the cladding. Someone will have have assumed someone else was ordering the claddin. Eric will have "done a deal" on the cladding, and it's being shipped from Outer Mongolia by Yak. The cladding has been sourced from Columbia and is currently impounded at Liverpool docks after Customs found a consignment of drugs with a street value of £4.50 in it.

Choose your own excuse / reason. We'll never get to know. But rest assured of at least one more soaking in the "Sophia Khan Open-air Shower" before the roof goes on.

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

In the programme notes today Eric says "I am told the cladding will be on the roof of the terrace for our next match against Peterborough on 1st September":cool:

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

Stewards were told that the safety netting goes up tomorrow so that the roof can be finished. Oh! well, we shall see if this another excuse for not finishing or really the truth!!!

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

I used to work for a construction company that also did the cladding, a team of 4 would have had that roof on in less than a day, so there should be no real need for a window in fixtures as a couple of days should see it all done, so i would guess once it arrives it should be soon sorted.

Eric Whalley is Brian Potter :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

so who`s max and paddy then??? lol:D:D

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

Having watched Saturday's game from under the cover of the cowshed, it looked to me as if cladding the roof wouldn't have made a scrap of difference with the wind in that direction - you would have needed a glass wall in front of the Clayton End to keep the rain off.

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

Schultzy and Kasey!!!!

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

the roof will be up for the next game not buts about it a few day after the darlington match safety netting was supposed to be put in place and rest completed in time for next game:D:D:D

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

I was at the reserves last night and nothing has been done, the cladding hasn't even arrived yet.

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

apparently the contractor responsible goes by the name of Arthur.....Arthur Roof:D

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

just been down an hour ago its just the same as it was at the darlo game:confused::confused:ie kipaxs picture

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

Anyone heard a rumour as to why nothing is happening with regards to the cladding? Would you like one or am I showing negativity towards the club?

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

Is it anything to do with having it thatched?

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

Who's being silly now?:D

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

C'mon Pussy..... spill the beans. It is wasn't for rumour, this forum wouldn't exist ;)

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

Its up to you what you believe but I do have some good sources who have given me good info in the past, gossip makes life interesting.
The rumour I heard is the cladding was bought by "a Stanley supporter" not the club but the buyer only paid for the cladding not the transport. Eric thought he had paid for both and wanted him to pay the transport bill which has resulted in an arguement, hense the delay. I don't know if the buyer has withdrawn his offer but he is not happy with the club.

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

Baggie, if what you have said is true (lets hope its not), then it is indeed a major cock up.............how good is your 'source'?

I was under the impression that the cladding was due to be delivered today,honestly cant remember who told me though!

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

Delivered today excellent, if my story is true then someone has paid for the transport and we will soon have our roof, yippee.:)

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

i dont know if it has been deliverd buddy, just that I was told it was due to be today, perhaps Lew could confirm/deny this if He's about?

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

To be honest, I'm bored with all this, 'it's coming today.... it's coming next week'. Same with the season tickets too.

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

So am i what do you want a roof for anyway you already have one where you stand.:)

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

That's very true. Plus with crowds of about 1200 this season, what do you want a roof for? :D

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

There's still no "f" in roof.

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

You and Me both mate, was just passing on what I had been told..............appears to be yet another 'untruth'...........:mad:

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

I thought it was finished? I thought Eric had bought one of those Mediterranean Roo’s (there’s no “f “in roof) they have abroad. Still winter will be here soon and with those long dark Accy nights, we won’t notice that there’s no “F” in Cladding…..

Re: Clayton End Roof
 

I know you were just passing it on Pete and that's what the forum is all about.

It's just that we've been promised stuff so many times now that I don't believe anything until it has already happened. It's a sad state of affairs really.

It's no wonder we have to make things up for ourselves ;) :D
