Aldi have agreed to let Stafford Rangers have the 'Freedom Caravans' canopy that used to protect people filling their vehicle! They are going to put it at the Shed End, where the old stand stood before it was demolished to make way for the temporary stand that was required to increase the capacity, prior to the start of the first season in 'The Conference', one league below The Football League (division 2). An old git like myself found it a bit hard to come to terms with. If memory serves me well, it increased the capacity to 4000; I had been in the crowd of 8,536 at Marston Road! A new club house had been built where people used to stand,, and Health and Safety had changed!
But it still seemed odd!
Graham Mitchell has driven the project of replacing
'The Shed End' raising 7,500 so far! From the faithful fans of the club!
and plans are being made, to transport the metal, and to install it. The home fans have been without somewhere behind the goal, to gather and sing since the demise of the old shed! At away grounds where groups could gather and give voice to their emotions under cover behind the goal, atmosphere has been fantastic. If the cover can be moved and we can get '
THE SHED BACK', a corner will have been turned, optimism already elevated for the new season, will go stratospheric
