Brick Update....

As you may be aware, the Trust have been in communication with the Club in connection with the new sign on the Jackie Husband Stand. The erection of this has resulted in some of the Trust-sponored bricks being covered up so that the inscriptions are no longer visible.

When this was first pointed at the last game of the season, the Trust was advised that this was a temporary structure which would be rectified for the start of the new season. This did not happen and the matter was raised with the Club again. Notwithstanding the information we received at the time, the sign is not temporary and does not give the appearance of ever having been intended to be so.

It is clearly entirely inappropriate that this sign should have been erected without any consideration being given to the impact on the bricks positioned at that section of the wall. That it was not self-evident that the structure would create an issue seems incredulous.

There have been exchanges of e-mails on the matter but these have not yet resulted in either a satisfactory explanation of how this situation arose in the first place or a suitable resolution to the issue. Rather than continue to attempt to deal with it in this manner, our new Club Board Rep Kieron Dempsey will take the matter up directly with the Board.
