58 massive scaffold poles unloaded last week - the first task of the accessibility project is complete. The poles will make up the new pitch perimeter fence. Keep an eye out for future comms if you’d like to help out with the the next stage of the project 🤝

⚽️ Pitch update ⚽️ The Old Spotted Dog Ground pitch is surprisingly dry today - despite the storms over the last few days. Unless the weather forecast is drastically wrong, Saturday's Men's First Team game against Brimsdown is very likely to be ON. 😍

Merry Christmas 🎄 There’s some great news to end the year as the accessibility fundraiser has hit its target of £10,000. Thanks to everyone who donated and shared. Work will start in the New Year. www.oldspotted.dog/news/old-spo...

The fundraiser to make the Old Spotted Dog Ground accessible for wheelchairs, those with mobility issues and those with reindeer-powered sleighs is edging closer to the target. Please donate if you can or share with your contacts and on social media 👇 chuffed.org/project/1499...

Someone had this cool idea before, and since I cannot watch our teams at OSD this weekend 😥, will do the best next thing and donate what I would spend on tickets to the games to the campaign instead 😄 Please donate if you can. chuffed.org/project/1499... @oldspotteddog.bsky.social @claptoncfc.co.uk
