MJC_MKI Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 Toilets shut in the East Stand, concourse ankle deep in water, pipes burst and God knows what else. It may be 'home' but it's long since had it's day and for the sake of the club's future we need to get out of Fir Park. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamy Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 even fancy new shiny stadiums experience burst pipes and closed toilets in extreme cold weather! + 1 In Gelsenkirchen, Schalke roof is partially collapsed due to snow and despite eviction. Also happen in new and more modern stadiums in extreme weather burst pipes or the like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finlay Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 Yet it still comes a a close second to having Rangers and Motherwell fans sharing the same toilet facilities in the POD Stand. An 'accident' waiting to happen. Madness....but we know why it is being done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJC_MKI Posted December 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 even fancy new shiny stadiums experience burst pipes and closed toilets in extreme cold weather! It's not just that but is it? Look at the stadium, it's done. The East Stand is falling to bits, the stairs are barely safe to walk on, the toilet facilities are a disgrace and across from that, the Main Stand isn't much better. Fir Park needs to be shut down and buldozed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fir Park needs to be shut down and buldozed. It was the first time I've sat in the main stand for at least 10 years and was shocked with how crap it really is. I forgot how bad they wooden and plastic "seats" were. Atmosphere wise it wasn't much better either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdalli10 Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 there was actual pish running from back to front of the east stand. There's no way that stand should have been open today. imaging that was your first 'Well game - would you fuck be coming back.

Special aka Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 Fir Park needs to be shut down and buldozed. Sad, but unfortunately spot on. She's done, and is a financial burden the Club can no longer afford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you qualify the second half of that statement statement ? Why are the people that run our club twats? Maybe you should start a new thread to do it.

Dexter Dawg Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 absolutely shocking,think its time Leanne D and those in charge are held accountable to the Well fans who are paying good money for a sub standard product !!!!

gordy Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 I work in Facilities Management for First Scotrail and the majority of our stations have frozen pipes and will have burst pipes with an increase in temperature. How many grounds have problems with frozen / burst pipes in these extreme weather conditions? Rangers game was off last week, Accies have problems and Blackpools game was off today. The stadium is only open for one day almost every two weeks and at minus 15 some nights what do we expect??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no way that stand should have been open today. How the East Stand and the stadium passes a health and safety check is anyone’s guess. I know there has been extreme weather of late but if any other entertainment business charged £22 to sit in pish they would be quite rightly shut down. John Boyle should have came over and sat in the East Stand today to experience first hand what the fans are getting for their money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awp Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 I'm not sure about the long term prospects for Fir Park but I can tell you that the efforts that went in to getting the game on today were phenominal. It was a game which financially, all at the club could ill afford to lose. The work done by Leeann and her team, particularly Ian Wilson and his ground staff was way above and beyond the call of duty. At The Well Shop we were desperate for the game to go ahead and these guys performed minor miracles in achieving this, although its clear from these comments that conditions were not great. Our sincere thanks go to all involved in the effort. The press are very quick to criticise the Club when games don't go ahead even though those involved have made every effort. It would be nice if they would recognise these efforts when they are successful. Can't see it making for great soundbytes though.

Special aka Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 Right now I'd settle for a 2 sided effort, 2 x 4.5k seaters running each side of the pitch......with decent facilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emmjay Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 And all you moaning minnies complain about us women complaining from time to time...!!! Toughen up, will you.
