For gods sake all it takes is soap and hot water, just shows they've no pride in anything at all. All just a wage as they trudge drearily in everyday. Sickening.

Is that grey box thing not a light meant to light up the sign and badge when it gets dark? Does look ugly though.

tomphil Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 They have the excuse that messing with cutting trees back and altering electric things costs money. Soap and water however doesn't and i'm sure they've a stiff brush lying around somewhere. Thing is it just won't register with those dweebs that half an hours scrubbing once in a while might make it look like someone cares.

Gareth Ainsworth scrubbed our facilities down Ewood when he was a lad, if its good enough for him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An in-ground uplight with asymmetric distribution would do the trick quite nicely. Mind you, looking at the state of the wall, there'd be 2 inches of bird shit on it by now so there wouldn't be much light coming through! Alternatively a new sign with integral LED backlighting - not much chance of that when a bucket & sponge seems to be above our budget! We can dream! 😆 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roverinbelfast Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 For anyone at the ground on Saturday what was the general condition of Ewood like ? For obvious reasons i havent been at the ground since the Preston game in Jan 2020. At that game i was surprised how tired and dirty the ground looked. The outside of the stands, the metal structures on the roof of the stands etc all looked in desperate need of a good power wash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattyblue Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 From my seat in NO1 of the Blackburn End, the metalwork between the BEnd and JW was absolutely covered in grime… the Totally Wicked devil that hangs between the stands has been infected too. Just looked generally very shabby… ‘furlough’, obviously. Though not sure what the excuse was prior to March 2020. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
