If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits 88 miles per hour, you're gonna see some serious shit...

i hadn't seen that sippo.thanks.
thing is,few will read mr devlins post on here. and loads will read the adver peice.
i also find it anusing how the responses to the bit from the groundsman are completely different to the devlin ones.
so its still ironic imo.

Not sure I get your point Arriba. If the groundsman was asked could a pitch cope with 2 teams he'd answer yes, provided I get to do what is necessary to get the pitch to that standard. The next question would be (the one that should have been asked and answered in the piece) would be, how much would need to be spent and does the proposal allow for that?
Everyone knows a pitch can handle games (depending on sunlight, general weather, standards of grass used, drainage etc etc). Question is, would our pitch get what is needed.
I don't see anything wrong with the article on the pitch other than not going into depth about the proposal.
Same with Devlin's article, groundshares are not nec a bad thing. Each one needs to be assessed in it's own context.

Tbf, it was the adver who put the questions to MD, he wasn't 'wheeled out' by anyone.
I've read his post in the adver and I thought he answered the questions as honestly as he could.
QPR and Fulham sharing is a million miles from us and the gas and I think everebody realises that.
Apart from the board maybe......................................

to be honest, the pitch is the least of my worries, its the saftey of residents that i am bothered about, we coud have 4 teams playing on the pitch for a whole season for all i cared,
the saftey of residents shuold be the main priority.

Not quite - from the other thread on this (Mark D replied): Can I put it into context please chaps. I was called yesterday and asked whether I was at QPR when they shared with Fulham or Wasps. When I answered that I was, I was then asked if it had worked ok. And the truth of the matter is that ,operationally, it went fine. There were a few teething problems and It required a lot of work with the residents, groundstaff and local authorities, and Fulham fans do not have history of causing problems (that I'm aware of). Rangers fans, whilst not happy to share the ground, were less anti when they felt the club was receiving decent money for the share. I do not know any of details of the proposed groundshare between Swindon and BRFC so I cannot comment on whether this particular arrangement would be good/bad or indifferent. |

i wasn't picking up mark devlin on his comments.
what i was getting at was the way it was stated by some that the groundsman was rolled out by the board,etc,etc.
when it seems he was just asked by the adver in the same way that mark devlin was. the posts in response to both mens comments differ somewhat.my post was meant in a lighthearted,jokey way.and its just an observation on my part that provocked my original post.

Where's that? I haven't seen anything to say Peacock was misquoted. The club kicked off about Sturrocks comments but nothing to date regarding Peacock :? |
