Must admit the ground does look weird with all of the Pitch Perimeter fencing now removed (Sorry no photo) except the posts
-
Did you see Fyldes perimeter fencing - it was just a removable frame about 50cm high with slot in advertising boards - I wasnt sure if that was their permanent solution for flexibility or a temporary.
On the one hand it gave a more open aspect to the pitch, but in our case would give you nothing to lean on around the perimeter - but would enforce people being "in the stand" rather than on the pavement so to speak.

No and don't know what its going to look like just know they are replacing it.

"it wont be as good as it used to be " i can see being posted 20 seconds after its completed

Good news been needed for years, hopefully a decent solid steel box section fence. Amazed Trafford MBC haven't insisted by now. Sure a section collapsed years ago in a cup game v someone. Slow but sure signs we might actually finally getting our act together and hopefully moving together to try and get out of this mess. Not all about the on pitch stuff, the ground has been decaying.

It was Huddersfield Town
One of a number of occasions when the then head policeman in Alty Supt Arrowsmith excelled himself with his rreaction to somethin in the ground. Another one was Alty v Barnet live on TV with an attendance of 4501

Something 50cm high sounds like a trip hazard to me. The text on the boards would also be far smaller than on something waist high, and for those with bobbins eyesight like me I'd not be able to read that across the pitch. It has needed doing for some time, I hope not one penny has been taken from the playing budget.

Cost are £22,000, £20,000 made up in grants. Assume remaining £2k will come from new boards being able to go up
I hope there is a big push for signing up new companies to start advertising

The perimeter fence is not a safety barrier, that's why quite a few NL grounds either don't have them or have just advertising boards etc.
The local councils only enforce public safety.
The club has known it needed doing for years but the club invested in the playing side ;) ::) :P look where that got us !

The playing budget should probably set after such necessary work is done. Neglecting most of the ground to pour every penny into previous playing budgets has really served us well hasn't it. You do seem permanently annoyed about everything.
Well done to whoever has done the no doubt 500 page form filling this required to get this funding, excellent work.

Have to agree with this,certain aspects of the ground are in dire need of attention. Judging by the squad PP has put together it doesn't seem to have affected the budget much in any case.

Me? Hell no, I'm a happy chappy most of the time. Honest! This is despite tough times on the old domestic front.
-
I'm all for ground improvements... even if the team isn't performing its nice to have a decent ground. Well done to whoever sourced the funding. Long overdue , however this could be part of the resurgent Alty.....
-
The fence needs to be the same height as before as many rely on it for leaning on. It also needs to be flat on top for the resting of a tea cup. One thing we don't need to import from Nantwich is their round top fence which is no use at all.
-
Agree with this entirely, find our fences and barriers are just the right height to lean against. At my age of nearly 60, I am not going to be mobile forever, and I find our ground very comfortable for standing - there will be a time in the not too distant future when I will have to move myself to seating. Because of the barriers, this will be later rather than sooner.
Don't under-estimate this, for me our ground in one of the most comfortable viewing stadiums when standing, more than I can say for some others. Thanks to everybody who thought all this out!
Interesting close season discussion point this thread has become.
