Maybe I'm being naive, but it reads to me like a complaint from a disgruntled neighbour to the ground.

Sometimes people want to ignore the most obvious answer. And let's face it, the work needs doing.

I think you are being extremely naive, which is ironic given how quick you are to pick up on what you perceive as naivety in others.

Why on earth would a disgruntled neighbour complain about the state of the terracing on the Golf Rd? How would they even know about it? The statement from the board makes it perfectly clear that the complaint came from someone they hoped would have come to them first. That would hardly apply to a disgruntled neighbour.

When have I suggested naivety in others? Genuine question if you think I've been a bit unreasonable in the past, I'm always happy to hold my hand up.

For me, the statement ('wish they'd come to us first') doesn't sound like an insider with an axe to grind - it reads like someone that's turned up to a game and then complained - we all have members within our friend and family circles that are only happy when moaning.

I don't sign up to this 'inside knowledge' either - any visit from a member of the council with two funtional eyes would have identified the ground is a mess.

Re: signed off fine at the start of the season - responding to a complaint means you have to be shown to be doing something, not a routine inspection. Of course the outcome would be different.

Sorry for being the voice of reason and I'll be sad to see that it's an inside job if I am indeed wrong.

Somebody spots something wrong and notifies the council / whomever.

Council confirms safety work needs doing, thus confirming that we Alty fans were in an unacceptable level of danger.

Whomever spotted the defects and started the repair works, I thank you. You did the right thing whether we like it or not.

How long until the only usable parts of the ground are the Chequers end and the front of the sports hall are the only usable parts of the ground?? Its getting scandalous this. The ground was deemed safe last year for over 7000. WTF has changed? The council and whoever has made these decisions need to be held accountable here.

They absolutely do. In reality those have used the golf road have been put at unnecessary risk. Isn't this why we have stadia safety certificate inspections?

I take it the Trafford Council official who only recently set the capacity at 6,000 has been sacked for gross incompetence. No ? Well what a f**king surprise !

Somebody has dropped an absolute bollock, heads should roll. Will they?

Sold out before I knew it was all ticket. What would  we do for the potential Charlton game then? i.e. would you be able to get in without a printer or smart phone, or are real tickets a thing of the past? And why is the capacity so low? People were talking 3 or 4 thousand.

Repair works are the cause of the reduced capacity.

Doea anyone know who's dealing with it from TBC?

Gateshead support will probably come that route. Any kindly Twitterist out there able to let them know?

We have some of our first pick back, playing on a better surface. We have reasons to be confident, but no excuse for complacency. Play as we can, and we'll just edge home, 2 1.
