Right heard from someone I know who’s working, not that well to be fair, that there’s so many people on site that they’re just getting in each other’s way and if anything it’s slowing work.
Also an accident involving two cranes left one of them fucked
And lastly the reason there is one roof panel missing is that as soon as that’s in we would have to start paying business rates or something
It’s ready to be installed and when
It is we would know we are ready to rock
Please take all with a pinch of salt don’t shoot messenger etc

I'm sure the media will focus on it, but as long as we focus on what happens inside.
From what we are seeing and hearing from those lucky enough to get a look around we will be delivering an amazing stadium that offers a lot more than many other stadiums.
I see nothing embarrassing about how its coming together.

Frustrating at time, maybe, but even with the cameras on 24/7 We only see a fraction on the work going on.

I don't doubt the work that is going on, but still understand why the exterior of the stadium is being ignored ?

Someone mentioned earlier it may be cosmetic. More important to make the place functional first and foremost.

I thought the reason one of the roof panels was missing is because the crane can pass materials through the gap ?

As far as I'm concerned the key date is October 14th. If we're not ready for the NFL game that would be a serious fuck up, very publically letting down a major partner. If we have to play Liverpool at Wembley no one's going to care or remember a few weeks later. Screwing up the NFL launch at the stadium would be suboptimal, to say the least.

That has to be a windup. This isn't Greece where you could avoid rates by never finishing the building on your house, which is why none of them were ever finished.

It embarrasses me that the NFL is even playing there to be honest. If we cant afford the stadium with that crap being played in it we should have kept the lane.

Just had a look at the new stadium and it's lack of progress. Looks exactly the same as it did yesterday, and the day before, and the day before that etc etc etc.
They should have got you to project manage the stadium.

Are you a wum? If so it isn't funny. If not, get a fucking grip man!

So because I have a different opinion to you I am a WUM. Grow up mate. I look at the stadium on a daily basis, and it's progress is pedestrian to say the least. I accept that there are many things to do behind the scenes, but the claimed 3000 workers should be able to cope with all of this. If I were Levy there would be arses kicked

That’s a photo fella. You wanna have a look at the live cams.

I do, and on a regular basis. The occasional worker strolling across the camera on the north stand (sometimes having a fag). A couple of tractors shifting around sand, and that's about it. It's rare I can spot more than a dozen people over the 6 cameras. If you believe that all stops are out, that's great, I don't !!

There having a differing opinion and then there’s just talking pure shite. Is the stadium building itself? Look every day and you notice nothing. Look every week and you see change. Look every month and you’ll be amazed how much is getting done.
