Sprinkler system
 

There will always be a part of Christie Park at your ground, now that our old sprinkler system has been removed from our ground and is about to be installed at The Crown Ground.

Served us well over the past few years and a good investment by your Board.

Just a pity that you couldn't take our North Stand.

Re: Sprinkler system
 

Sir,

IF only ASFC had the vision of your fine board!!!:)

The North Stand was made for Accy!!! Glad you've kept it in such good condition!!!

Being the fine Club you are, I believe we've got a bargain:)

Comisserations on the overall play off result, but at least you got there!!

Re: Sprinkler system
 

Confused....... Have we bought a Sprinkler System or a new stand from Morecambe?

Re: Sprinkler system
 

Just a sprinkler system, the north stand has been declined. ( was my baby hence the comments!!)

Re: Sprinkler system
 

i'll have to join the club, got me beat as well now.:confused:

Re: Sprinkler system
 

They have got the sprinkler system

Re: Sprinkler system
 

Shame prefer Morecambes to the other one personally.

Re: Sprinkler system
 

This was what I thought Mab was refering to in the other thread:confused:

Re: Sprinkler system
 

When was the Crown Ground ever dry enough to need a sprinkler system? Or is the plan to sprinkle hot water to melt the ice? :confused:

Re: Sprinkler system
 

Last couple of home games chimer was dry as a bone.:)

Re: Sprinkler system
 

arnt we getting a roof that goes all way accross so no rain/snow can get to the pitch :) and water the pitch with this new system!!

Re: Sprinkler system
 

would be cheaper too get proper covers.:)

Re: Sprinkler system
 

I would of taken the stand as well as the sprinkler system, job would of been a complete good one. Who's knocked it back Mr T??

Re: Sprinkler system
 

So I take it we're getting the Blackpool stand? Very poor decision by the club, IMHO.

Re: Sprinkler system
 

an explanation of the reasons, that being the case,would not go amiss.:(

Re: Sprinkler system
 

Probably because it looked like a bargain, just like that stand in Aldershot did!

Re: Sprinkler system

Re: Sprinkler system
 

car wash would do ..... no fans just cars ...

Re: Sprinkler system

Re: Sprinkler system

Re: Sprinkler system
 

It's the opposite end to the away end according to this. There's a photo of it too :)

The Crown Ground.

Friday 21st May 2010.


Stanley bring in 15 from Morecambe.

The first signings of the summer have come in the shape of fifteen sprinkler heads and a large water tank from Morecambe.

Earlier today David O'Neill, Bill Holden, Martyn Cook, Aalan Payton and Fran Hartley went up to Christie Park after the clubs agreed a price for the system following the Shrimps final game at the ground ahead of their move to a new stadium in the summer.

The fully automated system will be an essential part of the renovation of our playing surface, and will be installed next week as extensive work on the pitch begins, full details and pictures to follow from Monday!

:) :) :) :) :) :) :)

Re: Sprinkler system
 

Doubtless the next trip will be to Blackpool to bring the "white elephant" back. :rolleyes:

Re: Sprinkler system
 

Won't the Donkey Lashers need the Gene Kelly stand if they win today ? Cant see them buiding a new stand before the start of next season and 1500 or so £35/£40 seats in the open air will be a major source of income for them

Re: Sprinkler system
 

If that is the case, Dave, I really, really hope they win!

Re: Sprinkler system
 

am I missing summat ? - if local residents & council were agin the portacabin, how do we expect to get away with a grandstand ?

Re: Sprinkler system
 

I think the sprinkler system will be money well spent

Re: Sprinkler system
 

Easy just demolish the houses n then there will be no moaning *******.:D

Re: Sprinkler system
 

Plus loads of room for a big stand, and lots of car parking spaces, (or a training complex)

Re: Sprinkler system
 

sod the training pitch fella just remove the moaning *******

Re: Sprinkler system
 

According to a bloke in the local club I went in tonight, Oyston has said their ( Blackpool's ) new stand will be up in time for their Premier League season in the sun, meaning the temporary effort will probable make the trip down the M55 / M6 / M65 to our gaff.:o

Whilst it's nice to see that efforts are being made to improve the playing surface, part of me wonders what was the financial difference between moving what would have been a permenant structure and a temporary stand down to the crown. That same part of me thinks the temp stand from Blackpool is; and will be an expensive quick fix solution to our problems.:(

I'd have thought it makes more financial sense making permenant plans, despite the costs, rather than bulldoze the cowshed to put up a temporary fix which will cost to maintain ???:confused:

Re: Sprinkler system
 

Thats been my fear carpon.:eek:

Re: Sprinkler system
 

History repeating itself? :(

Re: Sprinkler system
 

Quick fix to a problem with the number of seats and ground capacity? Answers on a postcard for Tuesdays meeting in the clubhouse.

Re: Sprinkler system
 

I guess you won't be wanting this any more then ?

Re: Sprinkler system
