Smarting over the 4-4 draw between Arsenal and some other North London team, I was hardly in the mood to be told that the Wolverhampton Wanderers (currently top of the Championship) recently hired Facelift's Haulotte H25TPX access platform for two days to help them carry out routine maintenance on their sound system at their 28,000 Molineux Stadium. Ahhhh yes the mighty Wolves. Of course I remember when they had Mike Baily, Terry Hibbett and Derek Dougan playing for them...and weataching those three at Highbury too. But I digress...
David Jones, Hire Controller at Facelift's Birmingham Depot said 'This is one of our most popular machines, and as you can see from the pictures there's a good colour match too!' Now click through here for more.....
The facelift machine allowed sound engineers from T G Baker Sound to gain access to the speakers many located some 80 feet up in the four surrounding stands.
Steve Sutton Groundsman for Wolves tells Biglorryblog: "We used this machine to help us gain the height and outreach required to access the system. It wasn't just a matter of going up vertically, it was the additional horizontal access we required. We also needed to ensure the machine was easy to manoeuvre, because the stadium's a busy place and we have to be able to move around the pitch quickly without causing any obstructions. This machine has ticked all of those boxes'.
If you are smarting over a draw with Spurs, I dread to think how you are reacting to a defeat by Stoke, Brian!
It was KENNY Hibbit! Terry played for Newcastle
