A ORLOV 8,628 Posted October 20, 2015 Perhaps they could transfer the grass-banks bars and bogs of the Abbey to the new site 50 yards away..don't bother with the snack bars and kiosks they're crap. Temporary seating could be installed if needed. The retractable roof can come later. Seems fine to start with as they will not build a Torun size stadium in 4, 5 or 6 months Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
van wolfswinkel 635 Posted October 20, 2015 I wonder if Sidney is still on guard duty in those back-straight bogs up at The Abbey..about time someone else took over his watch..he's been there for ages! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I understand that the back street bogs are listed and will remain in situ, thus providing the new residents with a most useful and historically important facility.. Good news I say.. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm watching Kiev Vs Chelsea and believe it or not Chelsea should be ahead (but obviously aren't).. As you know I have a soft spot for the Arse and no doubt you are watching the better match We need both teams to win to hopefully maintain the top 4 qualifiers from the Premier League Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The pay isn't to be sniffed at Haydon. Sid was specifically chosen for the role and won't give it up easily. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
van wolfswinkel 635 Posted October 20, 2015 (edited) Its totally voluntary... he's been up there 24/7 for well over a week, dedication to duty that.He thought he was being relieved after 8 hours! I believe you are next on duty? Edited October 20, 2015 by haydon hat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EnglishRoundabout 1,752 Posted October 20, 2015 Sadly yes, but I'm a bit uncomfortable about doing it voluntary, especially with the storms coming! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
