On my walk yesterday I noticed the Cricket end stand being prepared for seats,I presume this is a league stipulation, such a shame as I know the lads love standing while have a sing song.

Yes it is we have to have 500 covered seats to stay in the national league south the league has given us a deadline of March to install the seats

Shame that we lose the atmosphere, but nothing really stopping people from still standing anyway.
It will be similar to that new end at Frome and we've stood there before. Tight but will still create noise.

Did you go in and offer your help!! I’m sure they would have appreciated it 😂
There is a national lockdown and I was on my daily exercise, mind you the there was no social distancing going on in the stand. Yes agree everyone will still stand up.

Nice to see some people appreciate it I work 50 hours a week at work then spend most off my Saturday working with Neil doing odd jobs at the football ground I’m one of a small army that keeps the place going

And it’s very much appreciated Donk.

You know if I had one wish for 2021 it would be that someone could post something like this without it turning into a "Dick Measuring Contest"! I have probably disagreed with every single person on this forum at least once, some people I have actively wanted to hunt down and throw stones at, but we are all Chippenham and mere observations shouldn't constantly cause controversy. The club is run on a very small band of volunteers and those volunteers are greatly appreciated by all but, (and I am not assuming by the way this is the case) but, how do we know that the person who made the observation "CAN'T" volunteer for whatever reason? This site is complete anonymity. Some sleuthing and more often that not, just outright honesty means we know who a few people are on here but for the most part we have no idea who we are calling out. Opinion is one thing but more often that not this forum just turns into a witch hunt and an excuse to vent or rant at someone with no deniability. No wonder the admin wants to wash his hands of the task and the club won't recognise this as anything more than a soapbox.
