super_blue Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Improved training facilities and the playing surface have to be number 1. The football side of the game has to be priority. Currently we can’t train outside and had to go to Wigan last week to use their pitch for a session or 2. That’s poor for a professional club. Painting stands and other things I agree are important but not more important than the various pitches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeP Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Not bothered about the pitch. We win more games when it's in this state. Ploughed is the new plastic... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlossopLatic Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 (edited) So really to stop the shit storms, to relay a new pitch and maintain it so it still lools like a bowling green in february new training facilities and buying back the stadium and developing it we are hoping this could cost what £30 million minimum and thats before we start on the team Edited February 14, 2018 by GlossopLatic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wogghead1 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 3G, hybrid pitch (if it can be used for internationals, Scottish prem, champions league it’s surely good enough for league one). Overhaul of mini Wembley, same sort of thing. These could be rented out like the old one used to be bringing income in. Will cost a pretty penny but I’m sure our new owner can see the benefits in the long run. up phillys budget and set up a structured academy system, try and get kids to want to come and learn their trade at Latics rather than city, Utd and even Salford! focus on this and the next generation of fans, make junior Latics/boundary blues like it was years ago with a lounge for before games, regular tournaments, trips away to play different teams on match days. (This could coincide with the “fans bar” being finished) not all imediate priorities i know but will definitely improve things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting a proper playing surface in place for the long term? Refurbing any or all of the three older stands? Negotiating a deal to gain control of the North stand? Appointing an experienced set of directors? What else? All of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

singe Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 I thought I'd have a quick look around to see if the mooted £800k was about right for a new pitch. Watford have postponed at £1m re-lay. There are quite a few other teams having problems this season, which seems to be weather related. Dale we know about, a real shocker that one an we should not complain too much about ours in comparision, they are re-laying ahead of Spurs match at a cost of £500k Bristol Rovers are going to relay theirs because of their current problems. Hearts are relaying their ahead of Ross county match, and planning the hybrid GrassMaster (formerly Desso) in the summer. Gloucester Rugby also having problems so are installing hybrid in the summer. Celtic will do the same. United, City & Liverpool all have Desso, and Liverpool have had problems for a number of years, at least they all have the funds Reading and Liverpool re-layed theirs int he summer, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hands on Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Might I suggest that he has started in the right way by getting us the strikers we needed. We would need to know the deal he has done with the two amigos in relation to the stadium and surrounds to suggest improvements there but we do need a new pitch. If memory serves me well it has not been relayed for some time, worked on and reseeded yes but relayed no. You can't compare a pitch that has to be covered with one that has undersoil heating as our problems only surfaced when the pitch was covered for frosts and with the work undertaken to remove snow. I would prefer grass with heating but then the options for 3G or whatever it is have been considered and rejected. The pitch at Kilmarnock didn't look too clever when they beat Celtic but no doubt it is better than what we have now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmr Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 A fundraiser for relaying the pitch Boxing match between Hughes and Shez with booze and prison rules, maybe have some OWTB handbags settled on the score card n all, maybe get all the convicts we've tried to sign and have a proper prison brawl... last one standing gets a contract? sell the bodies to Blue Tiffin and head over there for the afterparty and tuck into our "chicken" vindaloo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traditional methods not working. We have a bit of land and never been as wet as this year. Constant top up and good drains at limit. The hybrid is what we have now. The Desso, before it was taken over. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GrassMaster The issue is not us using the use of hybrid, it is used by all the top Leagues. it's the cost £800k+ becasue it is quite a few years past it's replacement cost. The second point about using 3G, and I think you are both right, we should be able to at our level. If (when!) we get to the Prem we can afford a to put a proper pitch back in. As above, lots of teams are struggling, and it's also in use in places like Italy, Switzerland etc it is good enough for us like you both say.
