The Robins Nest Forum

The 500 club are taking up three new projects. In June the sittle alley and dance floor are to be ripped up and relayed costing £4,500. The victory bar is to have new lighting, tables, and blinds costing £1,000. Finally we are to spend £8,000 at the end of the season on having new dugouts which will be sunk into the ground so fans in the paddock and tunnel enclosure will be able to see the entire pitch. Hope these schemes are acceptable with the 500 club membership

As a paddockite, I certainly approve of the last one!

well done Steve ...............

Our paddock view should be much better, nice one Steve and 500 club.

Fine by me Steve. Keep up the good work.

Top work. A great asset to the club.

That's all fine, but I assume the skittle alley, dance floor and bar work wouldn't be a waste of money if building work on a new stand is to start in the next couple of years? Just asking.

If it increases revenue in the short-term I would argue it is job done even if a new stand replaces it in five years. If we don’t make any improvements as we are always waiting for a new stand then decay will set in, in my personal view.

Any chance of a CTFC fans skittles league? Pre-match or post-match games.

Yeah, it's worth it if it makes at least that amount back.

Excellent work, well done. Hopefully these fine improvements will encourage a few more to join the 500 Club.

May also need a water pump for the sunken dugouts

When stage 2 of the work is completed in the clubhouse the 500 club would of invested close to £30,000 in refurbishing the club. Since stageone was completed some 18month ago the profits have been beyond expectations, the exact figures i cant give you at present, but rest assured stage 2 wouldnt be going ahead if it wasnt financially viable

excellent keep up the good work steve and others
