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

Simple really.

Following on from the "Roots Hall" thread, would you be prepared to become part of a "Supporters Inc" team to help with some organised running repairs and general "sprucing up" of the old girl during the summer?

I think it would be useful to know if any volunteers have any specific skills that might be useful, particularly in the handyman line. Perhaps these could be detailed in replies on this thread.

If there is enough support and interest, then I will take the idea along to our next liaison meeting.

Yes.. But not the visiting dressing rooms.

If the club were to offer free tickets or discounts on season tickets then I'd be interested. Voucher for a free journey to 3 away games etc?

Ticket prices are high and RH doesn't sell out often enough for this not to be a reasonable sweetener.

Don't see how away tickets could reasonably be offered. These would have to be "paid for", whereas tickets for Roots Hall are within the realms of being issued as "comps". Same with the travel, people travel in a variety of different methods so that would be hard to do. I think something at RH would definitely be the easiest thing to offer in return for the work.

Yes.. But not the visiting dressing rooms.

Interesting thought, something depressing or disheartening might be found to decorate them them? A nice slate grey colour with perhaps the implied vision of looking out of a prison cell window or something?

Or even a picture of a heater on the wall, lol!

 

[MilkeySUFC]

Yes, I would/could. But I live in Sussex, so would ask to cover travel costs.

Imagine if Ron had spent £25,000 on the ground,that figure could purchase plenty of paint and other stuff,get in volunteers and job is a good un.

If only he had 25k,doh Bolger:winking:

The Supporter's Group have a meeting next month and Dave Jobbo has been invited.

We can put this on the agenda and save the Trust getting directly involved.

My main skills include asking 'who did this? ' in a condescending tone and ridiculing previous DIY efforts.

I am happy to help if required.

Given where I live it isn't really viable.

Can I suggest that an incentive is offered to students who will have 3 months off in the summer? When they go back to their various colleges they won't be able to watch many matches, but if they spend, say, a week helping out they get a comp to a home league game sometime during the season?

 

[Ricky Otto]

I am physically able, just don't really have the time. I am happy to chuck £20 in or something to help out though

On "The Apprentice" a task was the sprucing up of Dulwich Hamlets stand - if the idiots on that show, led by a bloke who had an idea, could do some good work in a day then a group of positive persons (like us lot :unsure:) ought to be able to get some good work done.

There's a guy called Bob I've seen in telly who seems quite good.
Think he's a builder by trade , but seems to turn his hand to most things 'repair related'.
Always seems to be available when he gets a call ( usually from the farmer ) and NEVER seems to charge anything.
I think if we all 'work together' with him , we can get the job done !

Any fridges need moving, I'm in :thumbsup:

 

[Uncle Leo]

I am almost certainly the least skilled DIYer in the history of modern civilisation. But I can swing a paint brush around in the general direction of where it needs to go and would be happy to chip in where possible.

This is probably the most sensible route and more in line with what The Supporter's Group are there for. It would also cast the net wider to other supporters. TSG representatives have a more direct one to one contact with many of the individuals in their groups with possible knowledge of their skills.

How about a "community service project" for the local wrong uns .... ( theres plenty of em !) .... Give them a ladder , a brush , 100 litres of paint + if they muck about then they get to clean the west stand bogs with their own toothbrush.

 

[Tommy2holes]

Let's get a Facebook twitter thing going. Maybe get CP on board.

Might get a bit tight for elbow space with that many DIY'ers. :unsure:
