If costs continue to raise we will end up with a half built main stand for years ala Halifax!

Shouldn't think so as the bulk of the materials will now have been purchased. It's not buying now that's the issue, as once purchased that is the price. The problem is the time lag between when the plans were first costed 18 month ago and the costs today. There will always be some shift, but at the time nobody anticipated inflation running at 10%, maybe more in the construction industry which is volatile at the best of times.

What we've done is cut no essentials to allow the core development and we won't be alone in that.

Just to let you all know, all being well I'm meeting JM tonight.

It's basically to pass on your concerns about the redevelopment and general issues.

I will report back whatever I can, but be assured I will have passed on all the sensible questions that you have all asked over the last six week or so.

Thanks

Good to know Vasty.

Long term, Rome wasn't built in a day, it would be good to see a bit of tarting up other sides, such as the west and south.

Some good old photos of the old South stand on facebook the other day. Wasn't the Benidorm flats only meant to be a temporary solution. With this, I'm not thinking something all singing and dancing, but maybe a slightly better structure. It does have a feel of portakabins stacked on top of each other. We do have a large function room in the new east stand, but what about some slightly smaller ones, say to seat 8-16 people or so, for smaller business meetings

To be honest I hope I can spill all the beans, that's my aim. I'm really not into knowing things, I'm far happier sharing. And to be honest they didn't talk about anything last time that I couldn't talk about on here.

So hopefully I will have the answers to all or most of the stadium question. On field stuff I'll find out same time the rest of you do, they don't tell that any of that stuff me, be great if they did but sadly not, but then again I'd probably blab.
