tonygreenbank 472 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Those pictures are truly shocking. The current Board surely have a duty of care to maintain Ewood Park for the future for new generations of supporters. Do Mr Waggott and co not see the mess as they enter their offices?

Presumably that does not cover the cleansing and maintenance bills. And Mowbray saw fit to give a month's extra money to players he had no intention of playing. A decade of decay sums that lot up perfectly. He should have shoved a paint brush and a tin of paint in their hands and told them to earn their keep for a month.

Popular Post JoeH 2697 Posted August 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 21, 2020 I’ve spoken to the clubs supporter liaison team who say the grounds are being cleaned and sorted out within the coming days, she thanked us for our concern and appreciate the offer of volunteering.

tomphil 12376 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Just the same as the team and management everybody down there needs a kick up the arse now and again. Nobody there to do though due to the void between Ewood and India and their reliance on the same agent pals to install people in office. Maybe someone would be so kind as to train Pasha in the art of the knapsack sprayer i doubt he does much else for his money. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jim mk2 8251 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 It's like looking after any property, including your own home, don't keep up with the maintenance and it starts to look tatty and unkempt. The daft thing is, it will cost them more to put it right (assuming they're bothered) than it they had maintained the ground properly. Anyone looking at Ewood would say that there is a club with a management that doesn't care and has no pride. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yoogo 3088 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 4 hours ago, MarkBRFC said: Agreed. That pic infuriates me though. It really isn't the huge job they make out to maintain the grounds around the place. My theory is that because the club has a small fanbase, stadium maintenance is low on their to-do list. It's not really that funny to think how Ben Gladwin's charitable contract extension could pay for just a bit of TLC around the stadium to keep up appearances. The last time I was at Ewood was when Paul Lambert was manager. The stadium roof above the terracing would leak when it rained. The exterior stadium walls looked rain-stained (or whatever you call it). Nothing a jet wash couldn't handle. That was five years ago! Seems like nothing much has been done about it. The least they will have to do is paper over the cracks by the time fans return. The nicer thing to do would be to restore some pride into the stadium and sort out these issues. I suspect the BBE upper still leaks when it rains, but if you don't sort it out, you'll probably end up with bigger costs in the long-run. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Miller11 2506 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 And to think one of our former heroes funeral procession went right through there two days ago. You’d think someone would have been ashamed and embarrassed enough to make it look a bit respectable for such an occasion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
S8 & Blue 3123 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Possibly the banners are being replaced too. 50ft mural depicting Ben Brereton's goal against Bolton. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stuart 16225 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 It doesn’t matter what any of us thinks Waggott will blame Covid, lockdown and furlough. But, once again, a club in need who has a good relationship with fans could easily find volunteers to help rally round to sort stuff like this. But if a chief exec is on a six figure salary and we have billionaire owners who could easily fix this, if they cared, it leaves a sour taste. Maybe some of these photos should be tweeted over to India to highlight what a decade of Venkys ownership looks like. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A Northern Horde... 315 Posted August 21, 2020 Author Share Posted August 21, 2020 I wonder if Deepdale,Turf Moor or the Breezeblock are presently in such a bloody mess... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RevidgeBlue 7515 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 The neglect of Eeood Park isn't really a new issue, John William's used to comment quite frequently ten years or more ago at the Fans Forum that ground maintenance issues had been deliberately overlooked in an attempt to maximise the playing budget. This seems to be taking it to a whole new level. though.Shocking really when things like the weeds could be so quickly and cheaply sorted out. Great idea to send the pictures to the owners who Iimagine would be appalled. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'll bet Gigg Lane doesn't look like that and nobody's playing there at the moment ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
