Stolen from SSC.
OK it is twitter, but this guy backs up his prediction of an opening game of 15th Dec with tech references that a gullible person like me just cannot resist.

So laying the pitch for the test events might be as late as the last week in Nov, if you buy into this narrative.

I'd love to see the pitch installed now, but wouldn't that make it even more frustrating, with everything looking hot to go on the outside, but the insides still a mess?

Having a bit of experience in fire and security, I cannot get my head around the fire loop thing...if what we've been told is right, and the wrong cable was used...I can only think that the people tasked with fitting the system weren't qualified to do so.
Qualified Fire installation engineers would know full well what is and isn't sufficient for the job.
Its complete and total incompetence from, I presume, Mace....you can't really blame the contractors as they were probably given the cable and plans and told what goes where by Mace.
If it was subbed out to a third party Fire and Security firm, they wouldn't have gone ahead with it, or if they did, they had absolutely no idea what they were doing...again it all falls back on Mace.
No wonder Levy is livid.

As far as CCTV is concerned, the vast majority of the cabling these days would be Cat5/6 cable in steel conduit, I'm really not sure what could go wrong with that, an idiot could install it.

Yeah, we'd have no grounds to grumble about that tbf.
Back in the good old days, both Leeds and Man U were banned from home games for a while because of hooliganism.
Leeds had to play their first four home games of the next season away from Elland Road: Wolves and Crystal Palace at Leeds Road (Huddersfield), Spurs at Boothferry Park (Hull) and Newcastle United at Hillsborough (Sheffield).

OK it was a long time ago - 1971-72 - and different circumstances, but no-one suggested back then after their 4 game ban had been spent that unfortunately for the integrity of the game, they'd have to play away for the rest of the season too. Although that would have been amusing...

If we can move in by the 15th Dec - what's that 6 wembley prem home games - then that is not a big deal, but if we are not in the running for the title, and going by the last 2 games, top 4 looks a big ask, then I doubt anyone will be too bothered when we move to nwhl.

Oh dear, Donna. Oh dear. Perhaps now’s not the best time for that one. Astonishing how awful this club’s pr has been since the summer. Did a director who held everything together leave the club recently or something? Just a comedy of errors from the club. Do they not pay attention to the landscape at all?

I can't help thinking recent posts bear out my statement that had we laid the grass people would see a near finished stadium with some internal work to be done but without it they see a building site.
Had we got the ok to play Liverpool at home on 15th September we'd have a pitch laid so to take the piss becuase we've decided that there's no hurry so we'll hold off laying it, is just plain daft.
Just because the pitch isn't ready doesn't mean it wouldn't have been or couldn't have been.

There's way more than that. They only "finished" the grow lights within the last week so no grass would have been down. There is no ground to walk on outside the majority of the stadium. You can see in the building with the high resolution camera's and most area's look half done.
It's all onions of course, but without the safety system issue, I doubt it would look any more done than it does now.

They put out a puff piece of a couple getting engaged at the new stadium. Cool, sweet story but the timing is horrendous

I don't think anyone else has seen this have they?
