Link didnt work for me either but can be found here : https://www.facebook.com/BlakedownSport ... cale=en_GB

Looks like impressive progress
I think NLS fixtures are out on Friday 10th July - let's hope we are ready for the first scheduled home match

We're not going to be. It's already been stated it won't be ready till the end of August at the earliest.

Looks like the Keith Hussey Stand has been removed.
Was this what Dowse was referring to in his interview last week?

Apparently expecting to have to reschedule first three home games depending on how fixtures fall.

A genuine question. If we ask other clubs to just switch our early home games to their ground, or play them later in the season, can they refuse and ask to be given the points instead?

My guess would be we would still have the opportunity to find an alternative venue to host the match.

For those not using FB. The ground looks rather strange like this.

A new update from the chairman.

Very positive on numerous fronts.

Good update - is indeed very positive

Joe Monks has joined from Hartlepool as new MD/Football and Business Development - presumably covering Will King's old role and more. Seems to have plenty of experience https://www.linkedin.com/in/joe-monks-68046147/

More than willing to give Joe Monks time, but the replies to this from Hartlepool fans appear worrying. https://x.com/official_hufc/status/2046 ... JLl_yHWs2A

So these are the guys doing the 3G pitch.

They did Hanworth Villa's as well.

Have to put it in to the context that, at the time, he was working for Hartlepool's version of the brothers. An owner who, seemingly, made it his mission to alienate every part of the fan base and run the club in to the ground.
