Question Are you prepared to physically help with "sprucing up" Roots Hall during close season

[HudsonNo1]

If u do go ahead with anything in the toilets then like I said before I can do the mastic in them. Just for the cost of materials. I'm normally only free on weekends though.

Yep, they do, and take them in the West Stand. Tinks saw a mum trying to change a baby in the toilets recently and the woman had to end up doing it on the floor - and for anyone who knows the toilets, that's pretty disgusting.

So the club needs to make this facility available to it's paying customers.

There's a heck of a lot of difference between a sprucing up some tired paintwork and providing essential facilities like sinks and baby changing tables.

Any more volunteers ?

It's something I'm working on, but some of those sinks could be removed in preparation. The taps end up soaking the floor so the hand sanitiser is better in there anyway.

A new stadium? Errrhmm!:winking:

 

[TrueBlue]

Should not efforts be concentrated on finding out what's going on with the new stadium rather then wasting time on roots hall

You try and find out and let us all know.

How will "not a lot" help more than making Roots Hall a nicer place for the good folks of South East Essex to visit?

 

[Tommy2holes]

Unfortunately I am working long hours at the moment.

Sadly its current state roots hall Is ending it's life in a slow agonising death. Has to now be one of the most run down stadiums in the football league.

Has anybody actually done any work at Roots Hall as a result of this thread? I've heard absolutely nothing.

No. Nothing was organised. The Trust may be looking for volunteers to help re-decorate and spruce up The Shrimpers Bar so I may well be back to seek help, particularly if anyone has ideas about cheaply replacing the carpets.

Wrong. Approximately 20 people sent me PMs offering help and I emailed Jobbo with their contact details so he could contact them.

Not wrong. Whether you passed the information on to Jobbo, or whether he failed to act on it, nothing happened because nothing was organised.

Had given my name for this and was happy to give a 4 figure donation towards any materials needed and several weeks of "labour"

But after over two months and no word it is a case of you snooze you lose

Really looking forward to seeing some football back at roots hall next week
