Are the tenders back and approved already? Top soil has been scraped before remember...........

Right, everybody ignore him. He'll go away.

Along with many others I've had a text message from the club this morning announcing that work has begun on the site.

Will it be ready for the Saints game?

Construction companies wishing to be considered had up until 23rd April 2010 to submit pre-qualification questionnaires.

Upto 6 of those will be shortlisted and invited to tender for the work in July 2010.

anything else ?

Burger vans?

Just got a rare early dart and going over the bridge noticed some work in progress so came of at the A57 turn and had a nosey, there is most definately lot's of work going on and from what I could see they are busy cordening of the area of the construction and securing the plant store in readyness for when the machinary arrives.

It's either that or the best mirage in history..

thought scanners would have been tugging him/herself off with Ant and Dec in at No 10, and toobusy to worry about Salford

That's interesting. When did the tender go out for the 'work' that has apparently started?
Who was awarded the contract?
What is the work that is being done?

' pssst - Leesten very carefully - I shall say thees only wance '

They have started to build a Stadium there. Keep it to yourself please.

It is called enabling works you clown. You dont just start building a stadium in a random field. You build the access roads for the delivery wagons, put in electrical, gas and water services for the site cabins, and generaly clear the site of all obstructions.

This, as with most construction projects was tendered seperatley, to a different smaller contractor, to save time and get work underway.

Its expensive running services from the main line, so you dont do it unless a project is definatly going ahead.

Breaking news. You're all dreadful at ignoring Scanners the wind-up merchant!

Hey, I object to that slur - I have managed to avoid posting anything about Scann ... Oh damn!

Ah, so scraping the top soil before the licences were given out was a bit of a con then? No need for it to be done, other than to make it look like something was going on................

Now if the money isn't in place and there's no design or contractor are we seeing yet another con job? What is being done and where's the evidence it actually is going ahead?

Pipe dream..................

You're right - they're just clearing it again for a laugh this time.

Where's the enabling development, or isn't there one this time? Casino, shops, college, shops..........

no casino, no college, no shops, no stadium, ITS ALL A CON

its a big hoax, some salford fans have donned hard hats vests and boots, armed with a few bits of timber made it look like a fence, took a few pictures and put them on here

HEY PRESTO, the work has begun!

[size=50just for the record, the above written is a joke [/size

You should get down there, as the shovel you are using is getting bigger and bigger and bigger .................. the job would be done in no time !

....if it isnt built scanners will explode with happiness
.....and if it is being built it is probably due to this wonderful new Tory government.

either way im sure you'll keep on cluttering up these boards.

Now s0d off

Nah hes not into Politics - Hes given the game away (scraping the soil away pre licences) - hes from WIDNES - NAP
