I don't know you sir, and I didn't even realise you didn't go behind that goal - but I guess you have been there a fair few occasions - and yes, it is grim. So thank you for speaking up.
As I've mentioned before, putting something there now coverwise is all about the cost of course but (like I also mentioned earlier) you'd have thought something would have been put there when this ground was newly built.
It is VERY depressing being round there in the pouring rain and queuing in said rain.

Even flags have to be checked and verified for fire safety AND have a certificate prior to them being put up nowadays.
Still, if people didn't use those bloody stupid flares / smoke bombs.......

Anyone from FCOM want to put this across to the chairman? Maybe even get a local sponsor to chip in a few ££.

your completely wrong about the TC, at the time the club made no contact about the towns crest, if they had it would have given permission to use it.

Fantastic offer. Don't know how well it is being communicated though
