Even though Poch talked about the new stadium in his statement.

I'm only joking although DL did specifically mention in his end of season message about having the test events in August and then changed it very shortly after to something more vague so he's definitely covering his back in case it's delayed.

Or bringing them forward to July.

Just spoke to a friend of a friend whose uncles friends cousin is working in construction. He said Levys sons, right-hand mans auntie heard a rumour that the stadium will either be on time or wont.

Levy also said he likes the cassettes on the roof and is contacting TDK about some sponsorship deal per cassette.

Darren Andercam is off injured again - seats going on? Something groovier? Can't see in to the bowl on any of the other cams anymore.

Great video. One of the guys said that the grass will go in last... Doesn't it need time to knit together?
It will be pre-grown, not seeded in situ. It should also be grown on a weave of artificial turfing material. And it will be high summer when conditions are good for rapid growth. I’m guessing from general horticultural experience, but I reckon it could form a suitable turf in a couple of weeks.

From cam 5 you could see something going on just under roof level in the east stand, some sort of platform as far as I can see but who knows

What - you an expert in this also? :ROFLMAO: Clubs can lay whole new pitches in only a week - even Newport! I would suggest all the matting is being prepared now and will be rolled onto the trays very easily. In terms of knitting together, there won’t be any really as the trays will already be in 3 parts, and the system allows for these edges without concern.

Any other questions?

Excellent Percy. I see that it’s the open day again in a weeks time or so.

Whilst you’re taking questions the lilac bush has just finished flowering. How brutal should I be with the trimming and when should I do it? I’ve just done the hedge and really cut it back but don’t want to damage the lilac for next year. ?

They flower on the previous year's growth, so any pruning should be done as soon as they have finished flowering, i.e., now. That gives them time to make new growth that they will flower on next spring.

Capel Manor Bullsmore Lane?

Yes, the same college, but they also have a campus in Gunnersbury Park and now also in Regents Park. It was easier for me to get to Gunnersbury, which had just opened in 1995 when I started, as I lived in Marylebone in those days. So I studied there. They were behind on the build (familiar discussion...) and the concrete was still setting on the floor screed of the classrooms when we started our course.

Mate, as if. We're practically neighbors. Might give it a visit one of these days.

17 June this year. But I also do visits by arrangement, as long as people pay the £3 NGS charity contribution. I have a party of 10 coming the previous weekend, so I'd better get my finger out and start clearing up!

The two late freezes this March caused a notable amount of damage and a few deaths. They also slowed everything down. So I have some gaps to fill, which I started to sort out last weekend - all of which reminded me that I'm getting older and can't hammer into the gardening the way I used to...

There aren't a lot of Spurs fans in N7. We have to watch out for each other. ;)
