Everytime they anounce something the start building date moves back a quarter.

Old news that isnt it? Isnt Sadfish planning an "x-factor" sort of send off season, each week a thrash band perform on the pitch and we vote with the noise level we make as to wetehr they are good or not.. plus we are getting the gliter ball back. I think !

Aslong as they dont ask ISSA for any ideas, those guys are stuck in a timewarp, the chairman of ISSA hasnt a clue of the real world or hip things like "trainers" and "itunes".

I've noticed that too. It's a bit concerning.

There's no way we'll be in by May like they said last time.

How about mass pitch invasions ot rekindle memories of the good old days...

In fact, somoeone should let a dog on the pitch as well so we can all revel in the nostalgia of Rugby how it used to be.

Can we also come out from under the old boys pen to the crackle of 'oh when the Saint...'

The way they are talking and the how the project has gone so far! are we now looking at 2012 Season?

Still surprised they never went for 20,000 to keep it as a major stadium, but I suppose the argument will be is it worth it for a few games per year.

If that is the case it looks like we will spend the entire 2011 season in Widnes or Warrington. Instead of just the start of the 2011 season.

I think the reason is that 18500 is a specific style of stadium, then you go to 25,000 style stadium, I think the configuration for 20K is tricky.

but it's just a guess.

The article states that the tendering process ends towards the back end of November and the contract awarded to the succesfull bidding construction company.

I suspect the wait for the detailed plans and digital images have impacted on the ability of companies to finalise accurate bids.

Colquitt has instructed a company to complete this, so its all good news and another step closer.

Thanks, I didn't know that!

Why has it taken so long to get to the accurate plans for costings and quotes though?

That's The Very Nature of The Construction Industry they nit pick over every minute detail and Cost out every item it's just so they can try to avoid getting stuck in a Fiasco like Wembley. Dont worry its going to Happen and shut all The Trolls and Doom Merchants up for good.
