Have heard the same.

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 .

Just dropping off the Great Crested Newts

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.

Oh, and does anyone know if any (double deck) buses go over Barton Bridge?

I think the buses use the swing bridge (Barton Road Bridge) rather than the motorway bridge (Barton High Level Bridge, as it is officially known).

Not in high winds

,
we need a nice haulier to crawl over the barton viaduct in his artic while someone get snapping from the cab .


about once a week for the next 52 ..

So has construction now officially started??

If it has you'd have thought there might be a little more of a fanfare from the club.

Let's hope now that the predicted bad winter doesnt lead to any delays in contruction.

It goes without saying.

Just like your profile doesnt say how much of a prick you are but we all know the answer

Only going off previous quotes by other people closer to the club than this gentleman



Got to say I'm impressed , two days without a bite

sure i saw the top of a crane there yesterday
showing over the top of the bridge that is

Link ?

Dont you come on here upsetting the reds fans shandy

seen john wilky in tesco on monday night and he said buckinghams have the contract to build it they have done a few stadiums before and it starts at the end of november

Now I know thats a lie , because John only shops in sainsburys and netto

I know news doesn't reach leigh that quick but Asda now own netto so Asda must be the main super market for Sir John, i can see him now having a right good browse through the george section for his office wear,




Joking aside im glad that a main contractor is sorted now, onwards and upwards Reds! P.s starbug see you at barton in 2012 with the rest of the clampets/ leythers!
