here’s been a lot of refurbishment
      Twork going on around the ground
      over summer, the boardroom has been
      rewired,  plastered  and  decorated,  the
      shower block has received a facelift, the
      main ironwork gates have been painted
      and other general tidying and cleaning
      have been undertaken. So everything   We’re expecting some big eaters down at ‘the
      will be looking spick and span for the   Lane’ this season
      coming season.                                         do not fear; Bovril, that old staple of
      Some interesting additions to the Snack   football grounds throughout the land, is
      Bar menu have been spotted, such as   still available, although my mate would
      Mediterranean Couscous, Thai Green    like to see Marmite on sale too.
      Curry with Rice & Quinoa and Betty    The pitch is looking in great condition,
      Crocker Chocolate Cake in a mug, but    as it prepares for the double whammy
                                            of the battering it’s going to endure
                                            this season. Sand has also been spread
                                            around the ground to aid drainage. Ex-
                                            pert maintenance resulted in only two
                                            games being postponed last season,
                                            and for one of those matches, the rain
                                            was reminiscent of the Great Flood. A
                                            word of caution to opposing teams, or
                                            anyone else for that matter, please don’t
                                            warm up on the main pitch before the
                                            match; otherwise, you’ll incur the wrath
                                            of Andy.


                                                   GET OFF
                                                THE PITCH !!!
