Pravda:
Nottinghamshire supporters will be able to claim their slice of Trent Bridge history in the coming days, with seats from the venue’s historic Pavilion terraces available for collection.
The redevelopment of the centuries-old Pavilion building has reached a significant milestone in recent weeks, with the steel frame of the restored and extended facility now complete.
Ahead of the re-opening of facilities for members next summer, work will commence to enhance spectator seating areas, with new terracing and padded seats installed in front of the Pavilion itself.
The seats which were previously in place at the Stuart Broad End are now, therefore, available for members to take home, in exchange for a discretionary donation to the club’s official charity, the Trent Bridge Community Trust.
“With construction continuing at pace throughout the close season, we’re moving towards a really exciting period in the redevelopment of our Pavilion,” said Nottinghamshire’s Interim Chief Executive Michael Temple.
“Work will soon be able to begin on ensuring our refurbished facility feels like home, with the installation of fixtures, fittings and a healthy helping of touches that honour our heritage.
“At the same time, we’ve taken the opportunity to improve our member seating areas – and ahead of the arrival of those new, more comfortable seats, it feels only appropriate to allow our members to take home a seat from which they may well have witnessed moments of sporting history.
“We hope members will enjoy the opportunity to take home a money-can’t-buy keepsake from our historic venue, and to have a permanent reminder of Trent Bridge at their own home.”
Seats, along with frames and fixings, will be available to collect on a first-come-first-served basis on Thursday 18 December (1pm – 3pm), and Monday 22 December (10am-12pm).
Members who wish to collect a seat should arrive at the venue’s Dixon Gate (on Bridgford Road, opposite the Co Op) during those times, and speak to the gate steward. Limited parking will be available on-site, with further space at the Notts Sports Ground.
Should supporters have further queries, they should email questions@trentbridge.co.uk
Kindly note that the club will be unable to facilitate the delivery of seats to individuals’ homes, and that specific seats cannot be reserved in advance.

Today during Day 1 of the last fixture there was lots of activity surrounding a crane that was lifting steelwork into position

It looks like they've been doing some footings recently - the foundations, an objective person might say that it's back to square one!

It lookes like someone has laid a course of brickwork or two, perhaps they went too far with the knocking down?

I noticed yesterday, the dismantling phase has for now ceased and some of the steel work for upward expansion has now gone in.
Yippee !
ReplyDeleteI have great reservations about this development process regarding cost
ReplyDelete& what the final outcome will be regarding the floor plans all very vague, the shambles of the six restaurant comes to mind
Hope I'm wrong

So the comments on the foundations, by the former exec member, are true.
ReplyDeleteLike the new booklet which landed in the post yesterday stated we hope to welcome you to into the new pavilion next year
ReplyDeleteMore like Bob hope basically stating there not confident in this happening
But I read that it said you could transfer your reserved seating from the lower Hound Road to new seating in the pavilion at no addition cost. I'd find the exact wording but I binned the glossy brochure.
DeleteSo you believe that they are being overly optimistic?

Trent Bridge hedging their bets.
DeleteFair comment ! I would politely advise the club to work hand in glove with the building regulators, with current and upcoming work. They have to get this right, the consequences of not doing are very serious, financially and reputation wise.
ReplyDeleteSeems confusing information on how
ReplyDeletethe pavilion project is progressing the chairman stated everything's on schedule
But a credible source says it's already 6 week + behind who right I think I know who's version I trust

Love that vintage photo and your crack. Seems strange seeing George Parr's Tree, which I remember well, with no stand in front of it.
ReplyDeleteI suppose it would be quite a good thing to have , If you could find a place for it or perhaps have it in your back garden πͺ΄ permanently ? I think Forest π³ did a similar thing when the Trent End was demolished and gave or perhaps they charged, for you to buy a brick 𧱠if you wanted one for nostalgic value
ReplyDeleteI would like to tell them where they can put their plastic seats.
