Vacancy for Head Groundsman. Immediate Start

[mattitouk]

Not a criticism --- our Head man got the sack today.

Was he sacked with immediate effect? or just placed on "gardening leave"?

....sorry I just couldn't help myself. :smile:

 

[Chairman Trigg]

I was thinking Please keep off the grass ..signs might help!

tempted to write something about being good with grass

I was trying to ignore that brilliant bit of humour

Not to mention marking out white lines

After 27 years he was sacked by the man who has repeatedly failed for the last 17 years to do his job of getting the club a new ground. Who is more crap at his job ?

He must be due a testimonial.

BEING SERIOUS,

Just another nail in the coffin for me.

I though the pitch has looked in great condition this season - never mind that Roots Hall is now ****hole Mr Martin

Ridiculous, only commented last weekend on how good the pitch looked. It's been what, 6 years since our last postponement?

 

[AndyT]

Would the club really sack the groundsman in the middle of the season?

Must be a pretty good reason, I hope.

How about the match being postponed and no cash through the turnstiles on a matchday ?

Not a criticism --- our Head man got the sack today.

I have to question why it was called off at 11.00. I went out and it was very sunny, though I know the West stand does cover most of the pitch. How much does it cost to buy some sort of cover for the pitch? It might not be worth the money because it doesn't happen often.

Not going to satisfy an employment tribunal, is it.

 

[AndyT]

Doesn't sound like a sackable offence to me.

Not doubting it's happened, but just seems an odd way to go about things and have no groundsman to prepare the pitch for the next home game.

Must be more to it than that.

Was he really sacked today because the game wasn't played?

 

[manor15]

Would be typical, Prosser and Bolger get bombed out for being unhappy at not playing, caretaker gets sacked when PB/Ron are unhappy at not playing.

 

[Shrimper]

Ridiculous if true, I hope it isn't. The club know there would be a legal challenge

 

[McNasty]

Was he really sacked today because the game wasn't played?

So I am lead to believe, from a very reliable source.

 

[Shrimper]

CP seems to confirm. Pathetic by the club, truly pathetic
