Fix The Roof

[Corky]

The temporary covers around 120 and I assume 111 were shockingly inadequate yesterday. Any sort of heavy rain and it just runs through the gaps, and the club have had over 4 months to sort something proper out.

There are puddles from previous days whether or not it rains on match day, so this problem should have been known. It reflects badly on the club charging a fortune for tickets then doing a botched job in the corners.

Come on, you can't blame the club for this

It's not as if rain is that common in Manchester

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Well, yer will sit in the cheap seats. I thought yer all looked like EuroDisney tourists with yer little plastic ponchos. Mind you, I did feel the odd spot of rain even in 323. 'Twas a bad weather day!!

this is shocking ,you would think there was some sort of major building job being carried out here

 

[bammy blue]

Maybe we could do something like this MASSIVE roof, would look fantastic!!

 

[Corky]

It may have been a 1914 100 years thing on reflection - a trench foot theme.

Yeah Marco, you would think the amount of money being spent would budget for decent covers,

just the job and we can have a small bed and breakfast built at the back of it

To be fair one seat about 4 seats frm the back of 120 had water pissing onto it from the second tier and you would not be able to use it, and if you have paid for that seat and can't use it because basic drainage while the building work is going on hasn't been sorted then you have the feel for the person whosese at it is

The concourse was bad as well waterlogged and slippy as fuck, 118-122, then walk to 123 onwards dry as abone

Or alternatively wear a coat with a hood and man the fuck up...

Got to have somewhere for Paddy from Donegal to stay when coming to watch his hero's he has followed through thick and thin for the past 57 months, best make it just round the corner from the mega store so he can wear the same uniforms as his hero's also!!

And the women? It doesn't matter what you wear if it water runs onto you for two hours.

See mine to yours.

corkey i think its one of those things we have to put up with while this work gets done, think back to the days of Oldham away in the days of no roofs

I reckon you're both missing the point here. We, in the corners, were asked to fork out £50 more per season ticket this season (just like all other season ticket holders). We didn't know how we would be affected by the roof and weren't informed that we would spend the entire season getting pissed wet through.

The temporary roof is a joke. It leaks and we're all getting soaked from the big gap behind us. Yet the club chose to increase our Season Ticket price for what is, at the moment, a far inferior experience

 

[Corky]

Pompey had no roof until 2007/08 and its wasn't as bad as this as you don't have it collecting and running onto you through a gap.

Why wait till it pisses it down to do something about it? (i.e. post a thread on BlueMoon.)

I sit on row k of the east stand in block 107, I'm about 10 rows from the front. When it rains we get wet, its not going to kill me so I just get on with it!
