Tubestationatmidnight Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 The ground is absolutely lifting. Thankfully I won't have to go in anytime soon, even turned down a free ticket for the Arsenal game. Was 50/50 on palace away like, still got the away day bug and palace is a rare pl ground I haven't done Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubestationatmidnight Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 SJP needs a clean. Getting really dirty on the outside of the stands. The North East corner is particularly bad, covered in algae. Shepherd, sort it out or sod off. I don't think it's been cleaned since either Ashley sort it out or sod off Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sima Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 I think the pigeon is a fitting metaphor for the current plight of the club. Redesign the badge with it on imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleBingo Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Spoke to Andrew Musgrove at the Chronicle today, as he was the reporter who contacted me after my post on Twitter about the clip of SJP. He'd visited the ground this week and when I asked him how the visit had gone, all he said was there was some good people work there. I said I was aware of that, but that's not the question I asked, I also said that Lee Marshall's claim that this was about 'point scoring on the internet' was utter bollocks. I asked him about what he thought of the state of the stadium, and he avoided the question again, saying that 'he'd stated the concerns I had, and had received some honest answers - story will run soon. I asked when the story would run and got no reply. Doesn't sound like it's going to be particular hard hitting unfortunately. He needs to work on his manners as well.

Rich Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Think this more or less makes my mind up that there needs to be a very simple website where people can upload pictures and descriptions of various problems with the stadium. The site could auto-report them to the relevant people and we could then hold the club accountable for sorting them out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Email Stephanie Gouldson, stephanie.gouldsonNUFC[/member].co.uk as it is apparently her job to address maintenance issues at SJP. Having specific, detailed, and exact locations of each fault would be great, so too would any accompanying pictures as well. If people who do attend matches could make a list of things that need to fixed (with pictures) then we should just keep sending emails to let her know. If not then we could always bring up these issues online, to the media, and relevant authorities. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Great news all this. I've said it a few times but compared to other stadia I've visited SJP is a dump and our stadium could be so much better with investment in the proper upgrades and maintenance. Considering we don't spend the spare money on transfers or the academy there's basically no excuse. I don't doubt for a second that the people there are doing their best but in general terms it's not nearly good enough for a top flight club. It's just another example of the laughable lack of investment in the club as a whole under this owner and I hope it continues to gain traction.

Made even worse as it’s in the city centre so every fucker sees it. They’ve done amazing to broaden the net to get these shit sports in town and boost the local economy but I fear that’s only emboldened the ‘it must fine’ thinking.

ToonArmy1892 Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 I find it hard to believe that the dead pigeon hasn't been reported by cleaners after games or something, been there for 5 years ffs, powers that be will just ignore it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chopey Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 I've been in level 7 for 3 years now and the windows looking down to Stowel street have never been cleaned even though a proper lift is in place to do it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonArmy1892 Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 The neglect of the ground is a symptom of the regime, bloke doesn't give a monkeys about anything to do with us (SD signs would be fixed or replaced sure enough though). Any so called fan that isn't behind the magpie group isn't a true fan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Ok, so everyone just needs to take pics of everything wrong with the ground and email them to that contact Stifler posted. Let's see if they do anything when they receive hundreds of examples of the disrepair of the ground, both inside and out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjb Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Someone should do something to a SD sign. Take a picture of the 'damage' and send it in to them to see their response to repair it. Send it in with the legendary pigeon complaint too and see which of the complaints is acted on or otherwise. We almost know the answer already so can then highlight it to the media.

morla84 Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Not sure if the pigeon was mentioned by name, but pretty sure the state of St James Park has been brought up at every fans forum for years. To pretend that no one has mentioned anything until it became cool to score points on Twitter is a joke Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Some of the line of work we do involves the Environment Agency and Environmental Health and I know if a property had a dead pigeon or any other animal carcass in an open environment it is classed as a health issue and if reported will in most cases require an officer/agent of one of those organisations paying a visit to the premises and if need be enforce some kind of action for it’s removal. I’m not sure about sports arenas though, but it is shameful that a dead pigeon hasn’t been removed and absolutely disgraceful someone employed by the club is basically going online to defend the club’s lack of due care regards maintenance, citing how it’s down to fans to point any issues out. No it’s not, it’s down to whoever is in charge of maintaining the stadium which clearly is a position that doesn’t exist at the club. Just another sad indictment of how the club is ran under Mike Ashley. Again the stadium needed modernised under Freddy Shepherd, that was over a decade ago. We’ve seen photos of decay and have also eyewitnessed it ourselves, god knows how far it goes inside the corridors of the stadium. We have come along way from the days when Sir Bobby eulogised about the quality of the oak doors at SJP to fans posting photos of dead pigeons trapped inside the stadium on social media... Well done Mike! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
