Progress on upgrading the Lane for Premier League?

[bromtom]

Big red girders up now between South and Kop. Skeleton of the TV studio.

 

[Tom Bott]

I wish we'd kept part of the old pavilion.

We kept the clock, sits above the Blades museum South stand car park.

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

And what they've left up.

To be fair that is mostly in S6

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

I am sure Ball_Sup (Phil) will be along soon to tell us about Anchor's 9.8% rhubarb, raddish coffee and creosote porter.....

Strong cremated toffee apples to start, followed by a bitter blowtorched fence hint and a chewy finish.

Parts of the scoreboard were used as shuttering on the driveway at 29 Halifax Road Grenoside. I was just doing what my Dad told me, I didn't know any better.

It was 44 years ago I think.

And here's me thinking I was the only 'lower' Greno Blade !

And here's me thinking I was the only 'lower' Greno Blade !

Add me to the expanding list.

I saw they had a mobile crane in place yesterday morning, must have thrown them up yesterday afternoon.

 

[Lucky Polo's]

I moved from there many moons ago. I suspect the scoreboard is still doing it's job.

Yeah crane is still there. And there's a cherry picker on the carpark for something.

And me

Drunk shed loads of it

A cherry picker was being used Monday morning removing floodlight bulbs. Anybody know where we can find some new uns?
Oh, and John Garrett carried a four foot chest through the ticket office queue. Said it was our new midfielder. Scougall MkII?

 

[The Crab]

God that clock looks cheap and shit, dunnit? Wouldn't be sad to see that replaced.

Could be worse....................

 

[Bayingblade]

Nope....Rojean Road for a young BB

Creswick Lane was my manor...

Kiss my arse you feathery fuck.

 

[Hagan's boot]

Creswick Lane was my manor...

1/4 mile from me then.

 

[Lucky Polo's]

Nope....Rojean Road for a young BB

I'm fairly certain I used to deliver The Stir on Rojean Road. I certainly did Grenfolds, Grenobank, Swift and Nightingale roads all on my Raleigh Chopper with the Stir bag tied to the handlebars.

Can't add owt on the cricket knowledge front, but as a seasoned ale cart, I can confirm that it is the Anchor Brewery in the background way before Arnold Laver was a glint in Great Grandad Laver's eye.

I am sure Ball_Sup (Phil) will be along soon to tell us about Anchor's 9.8% rhubarb, raddish coffee and creosote porter.....

Rather gruesome story about the Anchor Brewery owner for anyone interested:

Henry Tomlinson - Brewery History Society Wiki

I took an interest as I've got one of the apartments at Anchor Point and had know idea why it had a maritime related name then I saw the stone feature set into the gardens here that said Anchor Brewery. It's like the one on the pic below but I don't know if it's the original would be nice if it was. Maybe Laver's had kept it in storage somewhere I need to try and find out.

Can't find it now but I read Henry Tomlinson was partners with John Richdale at Britannia Brewery which I belive was on the site of the BP garage but they fell out so Henry started Anchor. According to that Brewery History page Anchor was founded in 1889 as well coincidentally.

I'm sure things kept moving to places I'd not put them in my apartment as well when I first moved in! And that was before I found the gruesome story about the owner!

Not content with having to appease the football gods and crawl to the cricket gods, we now have the troubled Henry Tomlinson's spectre on the scene.

Gulp!

Doomed, we're all doomed I tell you.....

Are we getting contactless payments or what?

I believe there was also a quick-pour system on trial towards the end of last season (think Foxy mentioned this)...will we have this too?

Knowing SYP and the Council's Safety Advisory Group, it will be contactless beer and quick pour toilets. Unfortunately there will also have to be a further 10,000 seats netted off too.

So no-one actually knows what works are happening at the Lane then?

The TV studio between the Kop and South Stand was just having its framework put in place by a crane yesterday. Plus plenty of workers up on the roof of the South Stand yesterday too.

 

[bromtom]

Getting there.

They've got covers over the pink seats on John Street by the looks of it.

Can you dye seats? Is that a thing? Put a chemical on them, cover them up and they magically turn red?

That’s well strange. The covers? go over some of the white seats too. Can’t imagine what’s going on there.
