Have to admit i'm falling more in love with it every day.

I think it depends on how the players feel. They may feel the same as you but then they might think that Wembley is going well so let's keep playing there.

I reckon the escalating cost of continuing to play at Wembley, where it appears we have an option agreement for the rest of the season, but are paying per match, will dictate that we move into the new stadium at the earliest opportunity, irrespective of the opposition for the first match, irrespective of the frequency of home matches, irrespective of any moaning or otherwise from other clubs, pretty much irrespective of everything. We're shelling out millions per week on extra Wembley rent and, as yet, there is no guarantee that money will ever be recouped from a contractor or subcontractor.

David - with THFC essentially being the main contractor, I think we will have a job on our hands getting any significant monies back.

THFC is not the main contractor. There is no "main contractor" in construction management. Mace are the construction managers. The buck lands there first. In general, if Mace can show that the mess with the alarm system was down to a design error or an execution error by a subcontractor that Mace could not reasonably have been expected to detect and rectify, Mace should be able to pass along their liability to the offending party.

I'm in no doubt that the contracts between THFC and Mace and between THFC and the subcontractors contain detailed provisions for dealing with claims for late completion. It won't all be left as THFC's liability, just because there is no main contractor.

But the law surrounding liquidated damages is a complex mess that depends on a mass of often contradictory case law. Unless there is a commercial settlement to avoid legal fees getting out control, this is likely to end in court. As the weeks elapse, THFC's potential claim gets bigger and bigger and court cases look likelier and likelier.

"Irrespective" is fine. Perhaps you're thinking of "irregardless".

I would have thought having that shaped screen on the fascia would cause unnecessary production problems (design). But I guess if it’s totally produced in-house then it would be templated and easy. A trick for trick’s sake? But what do I know...

Really not much new to see from a drone at this point though.

Those cranes working through the night on the west side facia panels does lead me to believe that we are pushing to get it done for a reason, I am convinced we have an opening date in mind.

Or they could do a funny video skit of Hugo pushing past punters and team-mates to get to the opening of the longest bar in the UK!
