carrying a pole .. ..standing it up....
....putting up the top bar.....
its a convenient setup as the store for all these games apparatus is right next to the padang.
..by 8am poles up ..and the flag too.....
..the game for the weekend ....RUGBY......
but that was earlier this year in June....
..now this is what the field looks like currently.....a 4WD track
...in June.....
...currently.....
..more carnage????
..and it covers half the field!!!! ( click to enlarge photo)
this is the last event that plowed the padang!!..the launching of wireless services...
what i can't understand was that the MBI office was nearby but somehow no preventive measures were forthcoming. Considering there have been so many big events held at this premier padang i'm surprised it happened.
Hopefully the repairs won't cost a bomb..and we can get back our Ipoh Padang asap.
cheers.
Good pictures and write-up. Ipoh folks especially the veteran sportmen are saddened with the sorry state of the Ipoh Padang. Give the grass a few more months to grow and hope that it returns to former glory. Certain that organisers of future programs will look into all aspects seriously so that this will not happen again.
