| As you will read, folks, the project of pulling down the old floodlights is under way. Grasshopper seems to have that situation under control. I assume he has permission . If you may wish to chuck in a suggestion or like to help in any way please read thread ''Old Floodlights'' Another thing which n... |

Bloomin' eck Don, you don't mess around.
Can you give us an estimated demolition day and do you want a team of helpers from the forum, or anything they can donate to regarding this?
You say a crane is required for the fourth pylon. Electrics are already cut. |

| Can we now begin debate, in earnest, on a set of issues beginning with the Old Floodlights. All comments and thoughts on this issue, please direct to this thread, so that we can keep it organised. May I begin the discussion asking the questions 1) Do they need pulling down this summer? If we don't, ... |

| Janet, you mention kids-for-free, like I do. Yes, and Alec agrees too. BUT The place is not child-friendly in any way. Spoke to Rockerlad last Friday and he said he would not bring his 3-year-old until the place was done-up properly. He would not be able to take his eye off him. Too much danger for ... |

Does that mean we stop looking at fundraising now?
And before you say no, this is how the club has always been run in the past, and where did it get us!
I am worried we will slip back into apathy again. Your thoughts please. |

| It is nice to be able to offer a new BOD the opportunity to acquire a famous old football club with no debt. The problem is that it does not earn it's running costs. This is the fault of someone somewhere and the reason we are worried. We must generate our own running costs and keep it that way, the... |

If they come in and say everything is sorted and don't worry, we will all sit b... |

| Best way to stay in touch with the club is this forum and the website. We need to look after our folk better and we need, as a club, to keep the supporters properly informed. Things happen without considering all who may want to know, and that is a bad attitude, if you are honest about it. This stat... |

| OK I get it. This is something for ''within the group'' and yes few resources. All ideas, let's put them in a pot. Me personally feels that we can do fundraising between us as a social group of supporters, like Scorecast, raffles etc. We are already taking from ourselves, and that is fine, but it is... |

So, the audience are on the pitch on boards?
What if it rains? I usually find that groundsmen go apeshit when you try to get an event on their beloved pitch. Is my idea a better suggestion? |

| OK. Shall we say the Pop Stand, a stage in front of it and a refreshments tent to the side, with a perimeter gate open for access and roping to keep people contained. The audience will be under cover with refreshments close by. Toilet facilities by going around the Derwent to the bar?....and a stewa... |

Yes, and if we start small and get some experience, we can build to something big at a later stage. So, OK, we are talking a stage o... |

I have no doubt that we could make a success of that one day. I would want to aim to have the stand filled. I did di... |

Come on folks.
The number to call is on the Keith Nelson Thread.
I don't want to hear of anyone missing out. We must look after people a lot more than we have done in the past, and we need to get professional too. |

Are you suggesting , like me, an Amazon-style way of choosing the product, entering your card details and clicking pay.
Now that's a good idea. Why didn't I think of it before. (snigger)
Tried ringing the ground three times this morning. No answer. They could do with having a mobile number. |

Does anyone know how to get hold of these London lads. They are part of our group and they are just as important as anyone else.
Alec or Paul. Can you contact them or at least save a place on the shirt for them. |
