Eamonn mentioned last week on GMR that there will be a major announcement this week on the new stadium?

Question: Anyone know if anything is is likely to be announced today/tomorrow?

Here's hoping

Word on the street is that the announcement has been cancelled but dont know why.

got told last night it had been cancelled, dont know if its correct or not, but the source seemed positive, he also said that the solicitors Langtree use have gone into administration, if true that could be the cause of the delay.
I am only passing on what I have heard, it might all be a load of rubbish.

Well, if they use [url=http://www.legalweek.com/legal-week/news/1721350/halliwells-secures-sales-ward-administrationHalliwells, which was a substantial firm of solicitors[/url then it isn't rubbish.

I think the announcement was about the contractor selection so any issue with Langtrees solicitor would have affected that.

Didn't the directors have a board meeting last night to approve the new coach appointment too?

I heard there was some form of announcement being made today, didn,t realise it was about the ground. Thought it was going to be about a player or new coach.

The stadium has been cancelled. We're to play our home games on Sherdley Park until further notice.

Halliwells are continuing to operate as normal so that shouldn't be the cause of any delay (if there is a delay).

Not quite the full story. Halliwells are presently selling off their business to various interested parties and it is while they are in the process of doing that that they have requested a stay over appointing an administrator. They are operating but hardly as normal.

Fair enough. You obviously have lots of dealings with them whereas I obviously haven't.

Nope. I've just been reading about where they are up to, that's all. Who Langtree will end up with I don't know but although the reports claim that the transition will be 'seemless', it's hard to imagine that the new firm won't want to take a good look at the various portfolios before committing themselves to providing advice, etc.

I knew Wire would have something to do with all this - (Halliwell)

if all this carries on...i can see us playing our home games at leigh...the season after next..does anything go straight for this club?

at least you mite fill it there.

Sherdley park is bigger than our current ground.

On Radio Manchester tonight it was stated that there would be no announcement about the ground this week (someone asked if there was going to be one at the game v Catalan tomorrow), but the club were hopeful that they could release a statement next week.

I mean the car park near the zoo

Doing it the Saints way
Keeping us all on edge.

Bummer, I was hoping for Bishop Road.

Blackbrook and Thatto Heath will have a better stadium than Saints next year?

Keep the faith. We at Wire know exactly what you're going through.

hardly - Wilderspool was a palace compared to KR

Give over, you had to stand in pools off in that toilet in the away end, that doesn't happen at KR. It gets washed away by the rain.

Though the pie and peas were nice.

It's so good at least we can laugh or at it least smile, its so similar to the days in business when the old excuse was always a cheque is in the post! which hardly ever arrived!!!

Looks like you'll be playing the whole of next season @ Widnes then?
