Stadium pictures up on the offish

[Plewggs]

The probably haven't picked a contractor yet. When they do, the contractor will decide the start date. The only thing we should worry about is the finishing date.

 

As the article says:

 

Laing O'Rourke, which is currently working with developer Grosvenor on The Paradise Project in Liverpool, has also joined the project development team.

 

Lang O’Rourke are the largest civil engineering company in the UK.

Normally you develope the project first, and then you pick a contractor. Have they picket a contractor yet? If so, then the start date is a relevant question.

If Laing’s are on the project development team then they will almost certainly be the main contractor.

 

Laing’s are not the cheapest civil engineers in the UK but they are well established with a good reputation for completing projects on-time.

You'd be one othe 90K that go to watch us against Derby in the carling cup on a mid winters weekday evening would you?

 

On the other hand, being a long term investment, shouldn't you design your stadium for the maximum capacity you think you can fill? It costs no more on the night to have a stadium which is not filled for a particular game, you just make less money for that game. That minimum attendance should not dictate your capacity. Barcelona don't fill their stadium for every game, but they make more money on the nights that they do.

the stadium will definately happen, the biggest hurdle the yanks faced was the loan they have now secured, the can now use 60m to start building and the secure the second loan against the stadium itself

No, the biggest hurdle they will face is that we can barely afford the repayments on the money they used to buy the club, let alone another £300M for the stadium.

okay there is that as well :whistle:

[chrisbonnie]

there`s no denying it, the stadium design is magnificent to say the least

 

easily the best looking stadium around

 

i wonder what the other designs where liek, the ones from that manc compnay, can anyone get their hands on a piccy perhaps?

[Unrighteous]

I'll believe it when I'm sat in the new kop... the fucking lying cuntfaces.

I suppose that very much depends on how often you are likely to fill to capacity (or thereabouts) and if the costs outweigh the benefit.

[Bellflower]

and the fact that we can't charge £90 a ticket like the Arsenal

Remember this post when it opens..........

[WaltonRed]

Why are all people on the waiting list assumed to be fair weather fans?

 

i know what you mean Gaz, im certainly not one and ive been on it for ages. I still go the games but to say I own one will be a dream when it happens.

 

I wont hold my breath the waiting list is probably a blag it is the ticket office after all.

[zigackly]

Well, quite. I think 70 to 80 thousand is probably about right, as it goes.

[hamstrung]

So do I. Maybe I am way off, but I don't see us filling 90k for most games.

[Stu Monty]

I reckon we'll struggle to fill 65,000. This mass of people on the waiting list that are going to start making the attendances rise at the new ground are already going the game pretty regularly.

[Unrighteous]

I reckon that we'll average about 60,000-63,000 or so for the 'eh' games. Sell out every big match.

 

We'll average closer to 70,000 for the Champions League easily.

 

That said? It'll never get built, anyway. Fucking skint cunts teasing again.

[Dirk]

What's the point in dining out at a palace when all they going to serve up is Maccies food?

[Spy Bee]

If anything I can see cost of raw materials sinking in the years to come, so hopefully this deal doesn't involve fixed prices. Anyone know how this usually works?

 

A prospector on futures and derivatives, and a dumbass in one post. Well done Milan!

So do I, even when we play Everton.

at least will be able to get a ticket then, no more 4.00am queues..:whistle:

[bigbak]

Soooo much better than the previous two efforts.

 

The heart hopes it's been one big misunderstanding and that things will improve. We won't compete with the rest without a bigger stadium.

The cost of steel is rising all the time. Laing O'Rourke will be be tied to an Agreed Maximum Price and will factor in an element of risk into their tender with fixed price and contingency allowance.
