What a great idea if it could bring the £44000 projected by MC. I’d definitely buy some of the hallowed turf!

I'll be in for some.

I want a portion my dad's ashes were spread on the pitch

Count me in too

I remember bringing this up a few years back just before I re-turfed my back lawn. A couple of patches need redoing though.

Put me down for some. It'll go well with the white painted brick I salvaged from the old dugouts when I demolished them some years ago!

Another potential money spinner from the ground development is selling seating from the to be demolished east stand. I would gladly buy a couple of seats with the frame to fit in my garage for when I get out of way of the missus. I would suspect other sporting clubs may be interested in the seats as replacements or spares for their own grounds, more so amateur clubs if the price is right.

Shame there isn’t more worth salvaging from the East stand, shows what poverty we’ve been in I suppose.

I’ll buy a square all the same.

Just a thought but when the club do sell the turf why not have a memorabilia sale at the same time.

Anything the club sells goes to the club, but anything fans donate goes to charity (hospice).

Good causes both and good publicity. Bet TC can do auctions.

I'm sure he could but for auctions you always go for Mick Morgan first.

That's true, why break a winning formula.
