Depends on whether it is a milestone. There are some milestones that are bonus linked, I.e. Get the roof on by a given date, to use your example, you can get a bonus. Sometimes Key Performance Indicators (KPI's) are linked to programme performance and carry additional bonus payments. It all depends on the contract.

Mostly the concern is Critical Path. The programme will show the key activities that dictate programme length. If one of those goes pear shaped you get delay, which can be exponential if certain successor activities are dependent on key dates being hit.

This is why judging performance from the shell is misleading. Many of those activities may be non critical, so whilst it looks like loads of progression is being made, there could be a lot of delay because critical activities haven't been carried out on time.

This. I don't know the construction industry but I did work on a major London-wide computer system roll out. Provided you keep the critical path on schedule it is possible to catch up on the other non critical issues. As far as the stadium is concerned once the main building is done, and the roof is on, it should be possible to throw more contractors at the internals and pick up some lost time.

Played on the flank for Ipswich. Paul Mariner was the centre forward.

Might have played in the same team a bit wider for a small amount of time but he was a CF. 80 goals in 210 games for Ipswich. I used to watch Mariner when he played as a twin striker with Rafferty for Plymouth. He wasn't at Ipswich that long before moving to the gooners. We also bought Brazil as a CF.

edmonton again: Not yet behind. Bound to be a few problems over the winter, high winds would be the worst so might end up slightly late. It may not be the finished article though, eg, the brewery will come later.

Bored of beetroot faced Alan Brazil now so thought i would stick this here -

Thanks to EJG on SSC again -

The latest aerial and ground photo galleries have gone up on the Spurs web site.

These are the photos that haven't yet been posted on here from Twitter or Facebook (or have only had a smaller version of them posted on here):

South Stand Progress
(First Post)

I've updated an earlier posted image to where I think progress is on the south stand to give an idea of what the final thing is going to look like: Massive is the answer. Red shows rakers installed, yellow is the bounds of the terracing installed.

Im pretty keen to see how vast that south stand will feel. I think there is enough building to make a guesstimate.

ImperialAero did a great job above so i thought id have a crack with a real photo.

Had a go at this v quickly (5 mins) as the people put it into perspective. Based on the plan and where the opening are I think its close to how it will appear.

Huge... and i think i might have been a bit conservative on the height!

Glass now clearly going in on the second level of boxes. Some have the x tape still on them. More gone in on East than West though.

Last week I posted the level below had started.

Those top photos are fantastic. Really make it seem the stadium is steeper and more cauldron like than i imagined.

Sure it's not so there are no prints?

Giovanni · Oct 14, 2017

Just watching althletico v barca and what a fantastic stadium they have delivered. Looked stunning as the players were coming out.
I wonder how it compares to ours? I know its slightly bigger at around 67k but how about proximity to pitch? And also the steepness of the stands compared to ours? We will have the single tier which will really add the wow factor.

I saw somebody a while ago did a comparison of our ground to emirates and the pikeys. Id like to see somebody do something similar with the athleticos if possible.

Not all opinions are created equal. Some opinions are based on reality and some are incorrect. Saying someone's opinion is incorrect is not the same as denying them the right to express themselves.

...People ignore facts because "it's my opinion" now means "anything I say is as good as anything you say, even if I don't have any information or understanding".

It isn't. Most opinions are just wrong.

I am not alone...

Ed doing his thing again.

Something unusual and potentially very significant has just happened at the New White Hart Lane site.

First, all the cameras went down at the same time (often one or two go down but almost never all of them) and then two identical black Range Rovers turned up and parked next to a pop up marquee in front of the new south stand.

At first we thought it could be some VIP visit for naming rights, but now think it could be the re-interment of Bill Nic's ashes, especially as it's on the overlap of the old and new stadia.

You can see the excellent guys at Skyscraper City talk about it here: http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=549397&page=2222#44424

I think it is Bil Nic's ashes.

If you look at this picture it looks like there is a hole being prepped:

Zooming in, even looks like there is a large square hole with a smaller, deeper round hole in it.

A time capsule would have greater fanfare i'd have thought.

coys200 · Oct 15, 2017

Should make a slide in the south stand.Be great fun hurtling down it every time we score lol.

Where on the webcam would this be located? I can’t quite work it out.

Also on SSC the capsule has been reportedly made by Archway Steel. There can’t be such bad blood after all

Edit - I found it, it’s actually under the old north stand inside the new stadium. In front of the new south stand

Edit 2 - that’s probably the new goalmouth

Buggsy61 · Oct 15, 2017

On the link that punky posted (in case you missed it) interesting picture of where the South Stand structure will end, so still a massive amount of steel to go in at the back. This stadium never ceases to amaze me as to its final scale.
