    No sign of any demolition action yet.

    seems the grass is growing faster than the stand is!
     
  3. Demolition? The club is using a low carbon environment friendly erosion method

    They have to strip out the interior first before they start knocking the structure down - which looks like is happening.

    Does anyone have or can get up to date photos of progress of work on the inside and rear of the stand and knowledge as to why the extension steelwork is taking so long to errect at the Vic end?

    I can only presume they're struggling to find enough men or appropriate machinery to remove the trophy cabinet.

    I think you'll find they sacked all the Eastern Europeans and got some non-Eastern Europeans in to do the job instead. It may cost a little more, but at least it won't take the jobs of English people, it won't strain the welfare state and it won't rape our wives.

    If only that made sense....

    Would imagine they will do it at the same time as when they do the Rookery end.Also I suppose they have to wait for the steel to be made. Big shortage of materials in the building industry at the moment

    They obviously heard you hollywood as it's up and running now. Do you know when we're actually going to see the main demolition work begin?

    Ashton was banging on about a electricity sub station underneath the stand which was going to be horrendously expensive to move. Does anyone know if it's been ring fenced?

    There must be some curse on the east stand. I don't care what progress is being made off camera, there has been insufficient development since the start of the close season. A project like this should be taking advantage of the break. The works will be obstructed, delayed and hindered during the season. If you were the project manager, you would have to be very disappointed with your effort, unless there are extenuating circumstances. If so, an explanation would be considerate.

    I know nothing about construction but they do seem to be moving at a snail's pace (if they are making progress at all). Like you said, this is the off-season and it's very frustrating that things aren't moving any faster. I know the Pozzos don't communicate much but an update from the club would be nice.

    That was the problem with the first part of the demolition, I've heard that the next part is very simple,demolition and steelwork wont take to long when started.

    No curse just being done on the cheap.

    Why is it a shambles because they've decided to do more work now to save it being done further down the line?

    Being a cheapskate is a curse.

    The sub-station is behind the East Stand very much towards the Rookery so hasn't been touched yet.

    Are they using it as a slaughterhouse now? We've really lost our identity.

    Chill Winston.

    I've waited a long time to have four fully functioning stands at the Vic, so for it to be pushed back shows to me that they want it to be perfect, rather than rushed to make a statement of intent.

    Are they phasing out the new East Stand in order to sell the land to Danepak?
     
  27. Some people will whinge at anything. The club has decided to make alternations, it takes as long as it takes.

    "Pozzo's giving away £20 notes to every fan that attends the first game of the season."

    People will complain its not £50 notes

    To be fair, at least there is a little more information out there to clarify what is going on. If it is finished by the Christmas period, that would be fine. A nice mid size compact four sided stadium as a seasonal present.
