Snow Clearing - volunteers required

Redash · 12-01-2010, 17:40

There is about 6 inches of snow covering all of the pitch. There is far too much for it to be cleared on Saturday morning.

The club staff will be working on clearing the snow during the day, and would like volunteers to come and help in the evening.
The club have suggested 2 or 3 hours, under floodlights, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, until about seven or eight o'clock in the evening. and do the remainder on Saturday morning. (I think it will probably be cleared before Friday.)
I think this is a good idea as it takes away the uncertainty of the game being on for Rotherham's visit. The car parks and roads have been cleared today.

It would be great if you could bring a shovel. Winter clothes, wellies or boots would be to your advantage.

Clearing the pitch of snow also minimises the risk of waterlogging. I as well as most of you are desperate to see The Stanley in action again, especially whilst we are in such good form.

So please come and help.

Come on troops even if you can only manage an hour, 6 of us for 7hrs yesterday an we only got about 10% of the pitch done.The main problem is we need to get it out of the ground as it is piled up to the top of the wall down the main stand side.
