Sounds great...wonder if they still need contractors?Builders doing charlie you say?..... I just refuse to believe that
Yeah, you’re a big one allright!Sorry about that. Broken zipper.
In the interest of transparency and honesty, I can now only assume this was total bollocks! Oh well, I'll leave 'ITK' to 'ITKs' in futureI've heard a whisper we've asked to switch the U23 game away at Blackburn on 28/09 to be a home game for us the following week. Logic says this is so it can become a test event for the new ground?
I've heard that from someone on the Blackburn end though, so the stadium bit is a total guess but don't know why else we'd ask. This guy has no track record so big pinch of salt to take with this.
Yeah if that had happened, I'm sure we wouldn't have had reports like that, my nation is known in whole europe for keepeing away from drugs and alcohol...Fucking Daily Mail. We could have got some decent Polish builders in if it wasn’t for their meddling.
But you can handle it. Few cans of the high scrabble score for breakfast and build a stadium in the afternoon.Yeah if that had happened, I'm sure we wouldn't have had reports like that, my nation is known in whole europe for keepeing away from drugs and alcohol...
"Sources within the construction industry claim Spurs face a bill in the region of £1.2bn to complete their new stadium....."
Based on the article, I am not as confident.I'm sure any bill relating to the delays will be heading the way of Mace
Sounds like how Levy usually operates. Take a huge financial risk on an early deadline that is completely in the hands of someone else...Based on the article, I am not as confident.
It sounds like Levy thought he could shave a few pounds off the cost if the Stadium was done early. The flip side was Spurs were on the hook if the project ran late. Had there been a fixed-rate contract, MACE presumably would have budgeted for a delivery date of June 2019. So, MACE will simply claim that a delivery date of August 2018, was never feasible, though they tried their best...
Yeah that's right up there as one of his favourite things, rewarding incompetence.Sounds like how Levy usually operates. Take a huge financial risk on an early deadline that is completely in the hands of someone else...
More like MACE claimed it would be done by September in order to get the work and that's why we went with them. There's no chance we would pay the extra because a contractor fucked up and caused delays.Based on the article, I am not as confident.

The construction world on big projects like the stadium is quite small. General disbelief that Tottenham did not negotiate a fixed price contract or similar but the talk down here in NZ was no-one was prepared to take on such a contract and with constantly changing design who would take on that risk. Unfortunately it would appear we are in for a lot of the pain from the stadium delay and will be lucky if it only ends up costing 1.2 billion. If you want the real reason we were absent from the TW look no further.
