Clock's ticking for Spendy
Re: Clock's ticking for Spendy
Just bumping this back up to see if anyone knows of any progress. They now have 11 days left, but I've not seen anything on Twitter regarding any progress pictures, which teams usually do, and on their website it says they're going to 'Try' to complete the works by the 31st March. Obviously their success in this or not changes entirely the play-off picture for any mid-table teams. It may just be that no news is good news as far as they are concerned.

No need for us to worry about them. Just let them crack on lads.

Re: Clock's ticking for Spendy
No way will they not complete the seating on time and they are nailed on for the playoffs.York are the ones under threat with Southport,Stockport,Chorley and us in that order, but all we can do is keep on winning, we have to play 2 of those sides so you never know.

There has been no visual updates that I know of since February 17th (see below), largely due to them not playing at the Brewery Field since then!

Re: Clock's ticking for Spendy
The Crowdfunder page to raise £10,000 from fans towards the redevelopment has so far brought in a total of £500 from 10 fans with ten days to go. But I believe they are also raising money from fundraising events and bucket collections to run alongside.
As regards the work at the ground, I don't supposed they were helped by the two Beasts from the East that we have had, especially as they had quite a tight timeframe when they started on it.

Re: Clock's ticking for Spendy
I actually want Spenny to complete the work and get there on merit. I don't want to happen to them what happened for us, although ironically our exposure to the stupid rule may have benefitted others to not make the same mistake. Chorley don't deserve to benefit 2 years in a row. As for potentially the 8th placed team getting in the play-offs, that isn't right either.
Re: Clock's ticking for Spendy
Spennymoor back in the play offs after beating Leamington 1-0. Kick off was delayed for 45 mins.*
*Due to travel delays for Leamington. Back of the class anyone who thought it was cos of crowd congestion. This is Spennymoor. A big 635 in attendance.

Re: Clock's ticking for Spendy
Seats were in place behind the goal as well by all accounts.
Spenny will make the playoffs and give it a good go, could be the top NE non league team next year.

Re: Clock's ticking for Spendy
Same with Hartlepool, hence why they could be the top NE non league team next season. You can add Blyth to that but only one of Spenny or Blyth can go up really.Mckue wrote:Beat me to itDarlo_Pete wrote:What about Gateshead?super_les_mcjannet wrote:Seats were in place behind the goal as well by all accounts.

Re: Clock's ticking for Spendy
Fair play to them for beating the clock. If they did manage to navigate the play-offs and found themselves in the NL, even seven-figure Brad ( ) could find his commitment being stretched to the limit, given the limited ceiling on their support and the extra burdens involved at the higher level.

Re: Clock's ticking for Spendy
Have the seats been installed in all of that stand behind the goal? Surely that'll reduce the atmosphere and also the capacity of the ground? Not that capacity is an issue unless a team brings a lot of away fans!!

We will be playing at the arena again next season - fact.
Quakerz - if you actually attended games and spoke to people you might actually find our facts, rather than spreading s*** on this board.

Re: Clock's ticking for Spendy
Does that increase the capacity? Hopefully we'll get more allocation for Easter Monday then.

Re: Clock's ticking for Spendy
No it'll reduce the capacity, as you could get a good few more in that end when it was just terracing, before seats were installed and the capacity hasn't been increased anywhere else in the ground. I'd be surprised if the game isn't made all ticket, considering the likelihood of us bringing up a large following.

The game is NOT all ticket and you can pay on the day at the turnstiles.

Re: Clock's ticking for Spendy
Also on twitter they're asking for help just to tidy the ground and paint certain areas. I'm guessing it's for the ground inspection. Wine and dine time!

According to DJ last Friday, we are taking 8 stewards to help them out on Easter Monday!!

At least they wouldn't have trouble meeting the rules for seating!
Re: Clock's ticking for Spendy
Tonked 4-1 at Gainsborough today. What a strange division this is.
