I read yesterday that Boston Town have been regular visitors to The Rec as we are helping them out with a few odds and ends to help them improve the standard of their ground. I've also read that Rocester and Shirebrook bought stuff at the auction (Rocester getting the goals!) and that the lights are wending their way to Ilkeston. Matlock are rumoured to be taking possession of some of the blue seats for their new stand as well.

I'm actually quite pleased that parts of our old home will continue to be used at other grounds and that we have been able to help out some of the lesser lights of the footballing world. Our club is being seen as 'goodies' by other clubs for once. Long may it continue!

one mans rubbish is another mans treasure

I couldn't agree more. Especially now the auction is over and done with, anything else that is left might as well go to a good home if other clubs can benefit from it.

Just a general question though, why aren't we taking things like the goal posts with us? I know that it wouldn't exactly save us a fortune but surely every penny counts.

I thought they, along with the subs benches were good enough to take with us, but everything being brand new is nice to have I supppose

Lights and seats were secondhand to us as well.

Has anybody bought the subs benches yet, i don't think they sold at the auction, remember thinking i was surprised at it due to their newness and the state of many other teams dug outs.

I'd prefer us to have all new if we can afford them.

Both did get sold, from memory about £110 for the home one, a bit less (£90?) for the away one

Ah, my bad, now you mention the away one going for less i can vaguely remember it.
