"Substitutes will never feel the same again"

The dug outs on the main pitch finally got back underway last saturday with Gavin Swanscombe on the tools & kindly donating the metalwork for the roof construction, the nest at present is like a building site and its strange to see the change happening so suddenly after the break from the redevlopment program, The dugouts were originally started in 2006 and its been an ongoing joke with most rival clubs about their former state, now thanks to Gavin its onwards and upwards, being a substitute may never feel the same again.Our thanks also to Graham Fielding for also signing up to the Team, he gave a hard days work on saturday helping erect another 6 fence panels .

Helpers are still needed, be part of our ground renovation team
