In addition the Main Stand and PDB Terrace Emergency Lighting was also tested. (Again these pictures are without stadium floodlights which would normally be on when the stadium is occupied of course).
Both stands together...

Re: Hayden Road - Pitch & Ground Maintenance Updates
Also over the coming weeks we should have a few volunteers up for some general repair work and painting etc ( once it's a bit drier). Most jobs are outside - only a few jobs to be done in chg rooms ahead of pre-season. We will have access to outside toilets and also Dale's bar for tea/coffee for volunteers.
I currently coordinate most volunteers via a small WhatsApp group, and a few via email. Drop me a direct message here if you want to get added. Plan to have a few weekday daytime, evening, and weekend slots to suit.

Re: Hayden Road - Pitch & Ground Maintenance Updates
A few volunteers up on Sunday for a few hours - this week's task was re-fixing the mesh cover to the fence on the far side end to end, as had come loose in many places in the wind. Made use of stronger (hopefully) cable ties this year. More work to follow with other boundaries, wood repairs, roof repairs and general painting over the coming weeks.
