Stadium upkeep(Seating)

[dhuggybear]

i know it is a question of funds but is there any plans to sort out the seating in the stand this season. Noticed the front however many rows are cordoned off still. I personally like to sit in that area and even if it's a short term thing would like to see them seats cleared out as it is an embarrasing eyesore. If cleared out I wouldn't mind standing on the front row as believe this would still give an optimum view for watching. Thoughts?

We can only apologise. We agree it looks an eye-sore. The seats were removed in an attempt to fix a leak underneath the main stand. We thought we had completed the job but found further seats needed to be removed as the leak came from a different source.

I will raise this at this week's board meeting and see if we can get the repairs done as a matter of urgency by the ground maintenance team. We are reliant on our volunteer team and as you allude to, funds are an issue. The team have spent much of the winter refurbishing the changing rooms which was well overdue but I'm conscious we need to push on with this repair

This is a particular problem to me. I could not go this week but when my wife and myself do go to a match I have to go in a mobility scooter and can only manage to get to the first 2 or 3 rows.

I appreciate what you are saying Michael and we will try to get the fix done ASAP but the right hand side of the stand as you look from it has the seating there

Many thanks Steve. I'll try and ride my scooter along the front to the other side of the stand.
