If we’ve spent thousands on them, is it so hard to store them somewhere other than along the touchline so that players are trampling all over them in boots to get the ball?
There’s a whole stand there that isn’t being used and leaving them where they are can’t be the best way of ensuring they remain in top condition. If nothing else, they are in front of advertising boards that companies have paid good money for.

Agree 100% and alluded too on another thread.
Would like to see the manufacturers instructions for the best storage conditions for maximum shelf life.
If they have been there since the Oldham game that is another CBA job to add to the list.
If taken off on the day around midday I can just about accept why they are left where they are. |  | | |

Not yesterday I can’t, there was nobody in the Willbutts and they could have been stored the other side of the wall to stop players trampling on them.
It’s the small things. | |

This thread reminded me of the numerous comments about the fixture board on the Willbutts/Sandy Lane corner, always way out of date......it took forever for someone at the Club to react. | | | |

And it ended up in a skip… | | | |

There's no excuse for them being left in such a state. If you're spending 30k on the covers, you may as well spend however much it costs for the storage/transport system for them.
From what I'm told, they have to be carefully removed from the pitch as so not to 'spill' the water from the covers. What's the point of removing them carefully and storing them in such a way which can't be good for them?
They have the space by the exit gates at the Sandy Lane end and that end in the Willbutts stand too. They don't use those exit gates so it's the ideal storage location (albeit slightly awkward). |  |

Or the saga of that pile of tyres at the Pearl St/Willbutts Lane corner.
It took ages for those to be shifted. | | | |

Probably one for the new stadium / facilities manager to sort out ... to be fair that desk is probably brimming over with stuff to do... |  | | |

At many cricket grounds Ive been to they have an efficient system to first get the water of the covers away from the wicket and then folded and wound onto a storage frame. Takes very little time. There must be something similar possible | | | |

Oh have we got one of those too. I was reading in TVOS that we have recruited a new Customer manager to help with fan experience - I presume a focus on hospitality and events as a priority. | | | |

I think it's the same person as mentioned by 49th; it was mentioned at the forum. |  |
| When I was your age, I used to enjoy the odd game of tennis. Or was it golf? |
