We're not the B****Y Baseball Ground! Why do we still have green walls after the filming in the summer? Jebus Rice!

We are Chesterfield FC from Saltergate. Our colours are blue, white and red. Have we forgotten that? We're not B****Y Plymouth Argyle!

Barrie, get a few volunteers in and paint it! Or are you that tight you can't afford blue paint?

[Spireite Phil]

I think the colour of the walls are the least of our problems.

I quite like the mucky green colour, it matches the rust on the side of the stand.

I'm guessing here, maybe the film crew had agreed to paint the walls back to the original colour, but BH would sooner take the cash equivalent, knowing that there's a fair chance we'll not be at Saltergate much longer.

I would have done exactly the same.

As said previously most of the green colour was painted over brickwork so it's almost impossible to return all of the green to the orginal colour. Given that we have actually got permission to build the new ground barrie probably thought sod it it's too much messing about to attempt to paint over the green when the rest of the stand looks no worse and we are the nearest we have ever been to getting a new home. If there was a cash equilalent involved i think i would have done likewise, maybe that's where we got the money to sign boden from.

The club was paid the money to have it put back. The guys who did it were told they would be back to put it back.

Guess what happened, the club kept the money.

hmm, there's an old fence at the bottom of my garden. Its about to fall down and when it does I'm going to replace it with a brick one. Questions is, do I go and buy a load of Ronseal and paint in on something that won't last the year out, or do I put the money towards some new bricks?

Decisions, decisions......

But did you tell someone they had a job in x months to do it and to keep their schedule open for it ?

A very shrewd move in my opinion what with the credit crunch.

Don't be a silly Billy, have you seen the price of paint brushes these days, What about all the other incidentals, tea sugar milk; gogles to prtect the painters eyes, St John's ambulance in case someone falls off a ladder. Someone to hold the ladders. Temporary fencing to shield the work in progress and the added Insurance in case any of our world class footballers have a heart attack when they see work in progress.

Was it done by a proper firm? The coverage in the centre stand is so poor and patchy as to suggest that only those bits that were in shot were done, and that it was done in a rush by set dressers from the film. If their blue turned out to be like their green, I'd have thought it money wasted on the re-paint.

The club/producers demanded they used the cheapest paint ie NOT GLOSS. The decorators involved told them it would look bad and would look patchy, hence the current problem.
