You know you've got 'em when they resort to this frep!

Really Frankie about mr Larvin

Absolutely terrible shizzle.

As a member of the project managment board posted on here today with upto date completion dates I'll say your information on both subjects are a way off.

No problem, but sadly your contention that it is a 'shiny new word' belies your intelligence,
I thought everyone knew that REVUE means a musical show satirizing current events, we sing and dance every year and talk about current events like our recent win at the KC, we also Review the accounts if we have the energy left after the jollities and merriment.

So in answer to your question I have not invented a shinny new word, but have now found use for the word SARCASM.

i bet you a 100 quid im not

so ive heard ginge and i was one who thought it was a load of bull

Shall we get him to double it

We shall see hey

What makes you so confident easty do you have inside info

Regards the stadium a member of the project management board has stated what the revised dates on the North stand opening will be. That message was posted today which makes me confident on that matter!

Regards Mr Larvin if he actually had the money hed have shown Rovers proof of funds. Not hard to log onto a bank account online and swizzle the screen around for Mr Hudgell to have a ganders at surely?

Ok easty fair comment ....... We shall see

Was it a laptop in a briefcase in a James Bond baddy esque kind of way

regards the stadium the dates mean nothing they said it would be june its not they said it would be july its not they said august its not so whatever they said today whos to say that wont change next week im pretty confident we wont see it been opened for a league match this season and regards to larvin who knows i was just saying what i was told today

I made it quite clear earlier that it has always been 29th July, be interested to see a link to an earlier date.

but its going to be nowhere near that date is it

He's on the project management board. If he says that the North stand will be open for paying customers then I'm inclined to believe him. What won't be open is the hospitality stuff.

well i know it wont i dont really care if you believe me how many times have project managers come out and say this will be built in say 6 months and then they ask the builders and they say not a chance and guess whos always right

Thats spot on, Now for the last time.
I was informed by the contractors on Wednesday 23rd January that we could push for the hospitality by the target date, but they were worried about quality and appliance safety without it being tested, the stand will be open for the last two games, and the new hospitality will be ready for the world cup, the club are happy with this.

In a capital expenditure constrained environment, probably wise not to commit the contingency on unnecessary acceleration.

You've not answered my question yet, cockle, you must have missed it, so can you clarify the funding aspects as keenly as you have done the programme timeline?

You said, I think, that the project would not cost the Hull taxpayer a penny. Bits of information we've had since include the following. The estimated cost of the whole thing was estimated at £6m at ERDF application time. £4m of it was eligible for funding (against which a grant of £2m was provided), leaving a balance of £2m on the training centre bit and £2m on the stand itself. I know the costs have gone up since, but is it the case that Rovers will repay the £2m on the stand part (or whatever the latest estimate for this part is) and the other tenants will repay the balance?

Pretty sure the non ERDF bit was funded through a loan the council raised at nil or next to nil interest through some special scheme, and that rovers would repay this at something like 50 grand a year for the next 40/50 years but the council would be liable if rovers default. I know they were looking at a private partner to run the business centre but unsure if this progressed
