I know one of the site managers at lang Orouke he said they were fav's for the contract, plus they so seem to do alot for the council and alot of stadium work e.g the quadrants at old trafford.

There was work going on on site yesterday, which is a bit odd as the remediation contract ended on Friday (or was scheduled to) and a friend passed on Friday afternoon and said that all vehicles and machinery had gone off site. From what I saw yesterday there were a number of (possibly concrete) tube sections sticking up around what looks like the perimeter of the stadium buildings and two in the area that looks like the pitch - some kind of drainage prep work possibly?

That will be the pilers ready to put in the concrete pillers underneath the ground, this is what the steel framework will be fixed to, if you did see what you say u saw iain then we're very very close to the start of the building work.

We may have some low quality pics taken from a cameraphone in a moving car so if they are clear enough I'll post them up tonight. The reason I thought of drainage instead of piles was because 2 are where the pitch looks as if it will be.

It must be Starbug vandalising the site to slow down the building schedule.

Exciting times, they did say early november start

Putting structures up doesnt sound like a "monday" kind of job to me tho, recon its a midweek effort

Now the levelling / prep works contract has officially finished the large earth moving plant will have gone .You should look first for drainage works , then piling works for the main foundations , there should be a seemless changeover I would think .

The qyuality is worse than I expected but you can see two things on the pitch area and there are more dotted around the perimiter of the stadium which you struggle to make out.
