considering we will be losing revenue the longer we are not in our own stadium there will be financial penalities to the builder for any delays, so i expect it to finish within the quoted 60 week build time

I work within the construction game, it's not very often jobs meet there deadlines.

The penalities for not hitting deadlines are massive! And i mean huge, but in this country nobody can predict how the weather. I did no buisnes from the 21st december 2009 up to 18th of jan 2010. Also with the recent cols weather not done much since.

That's the nature of the building game in england.

The rumour (strong one) going round (has come to me from different sources) is a 15th March announcemnt and almost imimediate start on a 60 week build.

Also that the club are not in the driving seat with regards the tender process and therefore can't get involved without other parties announcing first.

Langtree are not even involved in the Tender process, the have handed it on to a firm called ARCADIS, Langtree will oversee any appeals there may be. most of the pre plannng has been done by specialist in their field hired by Langtree.

Is right, just showing how remote the Tender process is from the club.

No doubt, but on the advice and guidance of the firms they have hired.

If they start work on site by the first week of April , which is probably the soonest it could start from now, and if there are no hiccups, fingers crossed, the earliest we will be able to watch a game in the new ground will be first weekend of August 2011.

Just thought we needed a bit af a reality check.

Looks like we will play the season in Widnes.

Is it worth getting a season ticket for that year?

You must be expecting one hell of a stadium for a 16 month build.

Wires Stadium was knocked up in 10 months
Llanelli Scarlets new stadium with its 15k capacity also took 10 months to build.
The Keepmoat stadium in Doncaster, started construction in October 2005 and was opened for the RL in December 2006 eg 14 month build.

As a further guide, Southamptons St.Marys stadium which has a capacity twice that of Saints proposed stadium took approximately 19 months.

It is a 16 month build for the whole site, not just the stadium.
