I only ask as I was sure the Memorial Garden was maintained and run by the supporters club.


I'm sure there would be plenty of volunteers if they were asked.

I am also a decorator since 1975 and in my opnion the growth of moss in the wall indicates it' s totally damp inside knackered basically it has a flat top where water has got down in and to just keep painting it will only mask it for a while i don't live in cardiff but if i did i would get a few decorators / fans together and do it for free but it looks like with the cracks and moss, it needs re rendering and the flat top needs to be shaped so the water runs off rather than down into the wall, its disrespectful and embarrassing its a memorial piece and should be done now before the season starts.

The club can afford to pay someone to do it properly and they should get on it

I was down there Tuesday and went to find my brick because it is impossible on match days. They all definitely need a clean along with the walls around the gates i hope it is done before the start of the season :old:
