There’s loads not been done Baz. Have you seen the roof over the pitch. They were taking about lowering men in harnesses to put the cladding on now all the cranes have gone. Warning signs were showing when the new seats stopped going in. 

 

Mates saying if another contractor comes in its gonna take at least 2 months to start and looking at a Xmas finish. 

Fucks sake. You have to assume at this point it needs another contractor.

There’s no shortage of lads waiting to start work back on it.

 

Edit: then again, maybe there wasn’t enough lads on it in the first place

If the mingebags aren’t at least exploring ways to develop the Kop and keep growing their asset they’ll lose any credit they’d get for doing the Main and Anfield Road stands when they eventually sell.

This isn't good - running at about 3,000 or so paying customers per game down on last season and even down lower than expected this season until stand is sorted.....

Hogan has commented on the progress here…

…I’m going to predict now it won’t be fully open in October. I’m going to go for Fulham on 2/12.

If the administration gets messy, 2/12/24 might be nearer.

Two paragraphs in and fuck me, what a lot of waffle without actually saying anything. Just answer the fucking question and then beat one off on LinkedIn.

Billy Hogan looks like the bagman in a 50's  gangster B movie ......

[Kevin D]

Are people really complaining, just because a section of the ground is closed and has no realistic opening date?

 

Moaning bastards.

[lifetime fan]

And to think @Barrington Womble was accused of just being a whinger when he questioned the appointment of them as contractors…

Just take it out of the huge profits they'll make selling the club piecemeal.

It really is - they are all same - manc evening news, newcastle chronicle etc....

Lad i know went on the tour last weekend, they've had to put aload of plasterboards up where the boxes are going and theres still alot of work to be done on the interior of the stand. The tour guides were trying to play it down but one of them admitted it's a right mess and well behind schedule, October is looking doubtful.

Buckingham confirmed as in administration then.

Is any work actually being done?

The article implies that no work could be done for the few weeks Buckingham were in limbo, but could start again now.

Nothing can be done until an administrator is formally appointed and some kind of deal is struck with him. it looks like the club has been very quick off the mark.

17 days before the next home game so hopefully they get some momentum.

Not many home games in November, either, so they should be able to get cracking on that.

 

It will be interesting (if, like me, you're a dull bastard with a low bar for "interesting") to see how they schedule the works; whether they prioritise a phased opening of the top tier or the completion of the corporate boxes.

Some of it will be hand in hand. The front 12 rows of the upper I think are for hospitality.

Got this from the club.
