Improvements to the stadium? 16:18 - Jul 6 with 3294 views | Bluesky | Apart from the dismantling of Marcus Evans paraphernalia are there any signs that the stadium is being tarted up/repaired? Any grumblings of improved catering facilities/quality and those sorts of things? Any moves to improve the pitch surface and so on? |  | | |  |

Not the first thing to have a 'rub down' under the North Stand i'd hazard a guess |  | |  |

The pitch is one of the high priorities, bit its too late to do anything now so big changes end of the season. Have a look, its worth a listen. |  |

That’s been there a while, hasn’t it? What’s it covering up? And how did it come to be there? Half assed Evans repair that never got finished? |  |

Rust probably judging by the state of the steelwork. Actually, I think there has been some work done to at least paint bits at the back of SBR this Summer. |  |

We were told they’ll be cleaning “every seat, all terracing, windows and roofs” and repainting every yellow line on the stairs and gangways. |  | |  |

Is that an exclusive "ITK" scoop? Stay away from Kally, Cruncher etc on Twitter with that gossip. They will have known weeks ago anyway, which is was I would say too! |  | |  |

As long as they don't freeze the GK, not all beer needs to be kept cold, sometimes simply cool will do |  | |  |

It’s covers the wind flaps that go right along, which I’m glad of being on the back row. I think they take it down sometimes to allow air to circulate for the pitch. |  |

That's what they were put there for. When I sat at the back we tried to take the tarpaulin down on a hot day so we could get some breeze and got told off by stewards. |  | |  |
