Ongoing Work at the Abbey Stadium in addition to the Pitch work - The Apprentice Groundsman

During the past week the main work done at the Abbey has been on the pitch. We have shown you what has happened each day, If you have missed anything see the blog or home page to catch up.

However, there has been other maintenance work being completed. Some of work being done or completed are shown in the photos below

You may remember that we painted the wood to replace the capping around the advertising boards during the past few weeks. Mick Brown this week changed all the rotten sections above the advertising boards and also started to Hammerite the metal work at the front of the Habbin Stand.

Terry O'Dell and Les Weston have painted the yellow metal work located near the tea bars. The Kiosks are nearly finished now with just the black at ground level and the wood fascias needing to be rubbed down and painted. The is a small bit of making good required however not too much.

Mick Radford carried out some maintenance work on the Main Stand toilets and the Generator Building located in the car park behind the Main Stand.

We have been painting the metal barriers in the Habbin South and North. This includes cleaning, rubbing them down and painting the metal work

Wendy has been clearing up around the ground and has given the shop outlet a spring clean ready for the new season. On Friday we started to clear up the car parks now the pitch contractors have moved on

The Floodlights were also tested at the beginning of the week
