I'm sure Swag mentioned around £3m being spent for ground improvements at the end of last season. 

Not heard or seen anything. 

Is this yet another lie in Swags long list of fibbing?

when i drove past a couple of weeks ago,the steelwork looked like it had been cleaned but the perspex on the side of the stands was still a shade of dirty green

This £200 canvas banner has been up that many years, all the colour has run frim the letters.

They will walk past it every day and not even notice. Get another decade at least out of it.

[ABBEY]

of course they notice....they just dont care.

I thought it had been reported at the end of the season that a chunk of money had been earmarked for stadium maintenance?

but it all depends what has been earmark what is more important? Probably work we don't see regular when we visit Ewood Park

Send Swag a picture, no issues exist unless he’s sees it in photographic form. Which I suppose is fair enough when your only view of Ewood is from the corporate lounge.

Or more likely they'll be doing fuck all like the last 14 years.

Like what?

[Forever Blue]

I’m sure someone can dig it out, but was £3m not mentioned as being set aside for the stadium maintenance? I’m sure it came from Waggott either in the LT or via WATR.

Maintaining the roof, steel structure, painting and cleaning the concourse, fixing steps on the walk ways, new seats if any of broken.

Ask the Fans Forum or WATR to ask at their next meeting what work has gone on.

I seem to remember it was specifically for painting/repairing the underside of the stands where paint has flaked off and is in a state of disrepair. I was told that it has been put out to tender and three prices have been quoted but in typical Punekar fashion nothing has been done yet.

[RevidgeBlue]

Was it not stated in the FF minutes that a lift in one of the Executive Areas needed replacing?

Seemingly can't afford any players but at least we have our priorities right.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

The outside of the Stadium has not been touched..it looks filthy,the above picture of the front of the BBE says it all.

See point 9

I've read point 9. What in the world are vomitories?

Also, if Venkys have reiterated that money is no object as long as it doesn't compromise FFP, why aren't they sending over the millions needed to put the whole ground into a state of excellent repair?

Perhaps that’s why they needed ‘extensive works’ 😁

You’ve obviously been to a few games this season…

As I was queuing outside the Roverstore yesterday I noticed that one of the wooden food outlets was being painted or weather proofed. As this was happening I looked at the grubby exterior of the Blackburn End, rust coming through some girders above the Blues Bar and the big picture of Ronnie Clayton looking tired and tarnished. And my thoughts were that it summed up the last 14 years under the Punekars in that £15 on a tin of creasote is fine but the bigger things are just festering and withering.

I'd wager the fractured concrete steps (N01) are still in disrepair  with crumble and metal protuding.
