[Monkey boy]

Next week more like

 

[cider spurs]

I've been looking at the stadium site and the fixtures, both televised and not televised. I reckon the first game could be one of:

Chelsea 24/11
Southampton 05/12
Burnley 15/12
Bournemouth 26/12
Wolves 29/12
United 13/01
Watford 30/01
Newcastle 02/02
Leicester 09/02
Arse 02/03
Palace 16/03
Brighton 06/04
Huddersfield 13/04
WHU 27/04
Everton 12/05

What do you reckon?

Alas my learned friend...some of these fixtures will soon change just as soon as we gatecrash the Europa league this season.

(Except for last time!?)

Not really, we didn't get that far last time. What I'm saying is that the behind closed doors event doesn't need to be announced like last time. We do that first and then if it passes announce the public events and opener.

There wasn't a closed door event last time it was an induction for staff. But they were allowed to bring their families.

Well whatever the event was it's the main one that needs to be passed. I think the mistake we made was we committed to a date for that and the public test events and opener. I doubt we'll announce that one this time and only announce the public event. So if this induction event fails again they haven't announced it so wont end up announcing yet another delay. Instead they push it back, retest and once it passes announce the public ones and opener knowing it should pass.

I’m quite sure that the fire systems will be tested beforehand, it will either work or not regardless of 30,000 people in the stadium.

Therefore I believe that it should be possible for the club and Mace to be certain of a completion date pretty soon.

You would think so, but they evidently failed to do so the last time.

 

[nicdic]

The induction thing wasn't a test event. The fire stuff wasn't picked up at a test event.

Nothing particularly groundbreaking but I went to the new shop today with my daughter and I must say it is really, really impressive coming out of the station and first seeing the stadium-it looks immense!

I did take a couple of videos on my phone but it says they’re too large when I try and put them on here if anyone has any advice??

Could upload them to YouTube, Facebook or Twitter and just link to them

Oh he than that you would need to either cut the size of the file by reducing quality and/or how long they are.

If we arent in by Wolves, we should not be allowed to move in until next season.

 

[Saoirse]

If we arent in by Wolves, we should not be allowed to move in until next season.

Why not? In my opinion the league should be encouraging clubs to invest in their infrastructure, not penalising them leaving a perfectly good ground empty for no reason.

 

[Hoopspur]

If we arent in by Wolves, we should not be allowed to move in until next season.

Nonsense of course and just your opinion that has no grounding in fact. Unless you know differently? Even if it’s mid April then we should be allowed to move in as soon as the ground is ready.

 

[Dougal]

If we arent in by Wolves, we should not be allowed to move in until next season.

Why fuck over fans for another 9 months? We’ve been fucked around enough of late. We need to get in at the first available date.

Really cracking on with veil. At least we know for sure now the annoying gaps are just covered by the veil. It’s gonna look virtually done once this veil is on if they carry on a this pace west stand be done in 1-2 weeks.

 

[coys200]

Have to say reading about Everton stadium and after Chelsea fiasco we were incredibly lucky with timing of Brexit. Had it happened 2-3 years earlier I very much doubt the stadium would have been built at all. Or at least not in its current design, they’d probably have ditched the NFL pitch.

 

[Jenko]

Have none of you guys ever been to a big race meeting? I can't see bookies wanting to go cashless. The queues would be so long that you'd never get a bet on. And paying out the winnings would be a nightmare.

And don't bother applying for a mortgage or business start-up loan if your account is littered with deductions from a betting company...

I was driving out of London on the A4 flyover yesterday and looked at Brentford's new stadium coming out of the ground. Theyve done one stand and it looks unbelievably steep. They are working in a small space like we were for WHL but not on the same timescale. I dont know who is in charge of that construction project but it will be interesting to see how quick that goes up being the only real vague comparable stadium construction going on at the same time in London.

I think they’re due to move in August 2020. Given the relatively small size of the ground (still under 18k capacity I believe) this seems realistic, even with tight surrounding area etc. Demolition was completed a while back so they have best part of 2 years for the actual build.
