Cannon Park, 28th January 2010

Left click for slightly larger image.

Passing by Retford United's Cannon Park ground earlier this morning, on my way home from Leverton, I couldn't help but notice that they had the mechanical digger in, finishing the prep work for a new seating area they're putting in next to the existing one.
The stand to the left of the above picture, originally lived on the wood yard side of Sandy Lane when Worksop Town played there (see picture below).
The former 'Tigers' owner H*w*rd R*ym*nd sold it to the former RUFC owner Dean Vivian heralding a proposed redevelopment of WTFC's (then) home. Of course there has been much water under the bridge since then and no such redevelopment ever took place ... the rest is history.
Bill Wyles, Retford United's chairman is a really nice guy. I hope for his sake and that of the many other good friends I have who support 'The Badgers', that they get the work done in time before the UniBond League ground grading assessors turn up in March.
