some of us have been on this very slow rollercoaster for over 10 years, so another month, 6 months, year, is of little consequence in the grand scheme of things.

I admire your loyalty Sadfish, but do you go through life saying nothing ever matters? are you never willing to offer some criticism just to be constructive?

Well another week and if the press suite has not been overbooked then we will get the promised announcement??? LOL

not at all, just that most of the people who have any sense know that with the amount of money involved and the present climate and the building industry in general, decisions like this have to be made carefully, if things ain't right, then things ain't quite right.

Like I said, having been sat at UGB social club in 1999 when the first plans where announced, and sitting here now so close to the first sod being dug, a few months really doesn't make any difference to me.

Sadfish,

You don't do yourself any justice, everyone is having problems in this climate, but they don't go about making announcements about announcements over and over again and then nothing ever develops and they give weak excuses for not keeping to promises made to the loyal supporters you talk about in the UGB Club in 1999, sadly some of those in 99 will not have made it to now and by the time the ground is ready for opening.

But lets be positive, the media room does not seem to be double booked for this week, so we will know in the next few days who the contractor is, when work will start (though Big Mac said a week after the announcement) and then the actual planned ground opening date (what did Big Mac say again, quite different from the CEO?) we all hold our Breath, but don't too it for too long or we will be around for the Big Opening! LOL

How many announcements have the club actually made? 3 or 4 over the last two years?

Yes, the public meeting announcement was before Christmas though IIRC, saying they'd be done in Feb. Add that to the McManus one this month. That's two in 7 months, they aren't exactly overloading the news feeds with announcements. When was the third one and what was it?
