When do things start going in the ground and how long until something resembles the shell of a new stand?

You do know this is a council job, don't you! Ruddy ages yet lol!


I reckon the next stage will be the pilings.

No idea!!!!

They'll presumably be working Sundays if it's a council job then, just standing there gabbing for 6 hours haha

Sounds like a job for a high vis ball boy

Any update needs to include a picture, for those too lazy for hullkr.tv
5 workers/1 digger/2 trucks - the mind wanders

i cant do pictures but you have captured it perfectly the trucks were red and the digger was yellow

Baby digger gone walkabout again.

If the builders in the picture are Anything to go by we cud be waiting 20 yrs for the stand to be built

This thread is about the North stand build if folks continue to derail and throw insults warnings will be issued and bans will then be given if they persist.

You should have written that in red. That's what the proper 'ard mods do.

It applies to =#FF0000YOU too

I reckon there'll be at least 3 "North Stand build" threads, basing that on the fact we're halfway through the first thread. Is this off topic?

Red [iand[/i capitals! Shit.

This is a proper question, well, three.

Have Rovers formally announced the ground development funding and programme? I can't remember reading about it.
When's the estimated completion date?
Someone posted that there may be 500 seats ready in this area for the July derby. Is this correct?

Not as far as I know, I did ask last time I was at CP and my answer was pretty much 'Yes it has started' whilst pointing to that end of the ground.
I belive it is a 52 week build.

I seriously doubt that is going to be possible.

Thank you. It's a bit odd that after 4 years of false starts and articles in the HDM that when work actually begins there's not a big formal announcement with Smith driving a digger and a councillor pondering a site plan in the foreground. Derby at CP with reduced capacity, then?

I wouldn't know.
I will say that if those posts I have just made are re-used OOC in the future I won't be happy.
Just saying they are best guesses from someone who has been to CP at least once a week since the build started for one thing or another and I have no 'inside track' to info.

Was at CP today and the hold up isn't down to KR it is down to the council.
They have been given permission to clear and flatten and other things but the actual building hasnt been given the green light yet and no steel has as of yet been ordered from the faricators either.
They are fitting the piling mats next week however.

I'm surprised they haven't taken an injunction out on you yet.

I'm puzzled as to why you would think the hold up is down to Rovers?

Nevertheless, the site is still working and the early stages of any build are the most frustrating - its always slow and tedious until it gets beyond the piling stage. As for no steel structuring being placed on order, its not as if there is a 3-6 month waiting time.

Well the club have as of yet said zip officially even though the build has actually been going on now for over 2 months.
A strange going on wouldn't you say?
But with that said I didn't say it was down to Rovers I was confirming it wasn't.

Who mentioned me being frustrated?
The piling mats are next week.
So the actual piling must be just around the corner so again who mentioned 3-6 month waiting time for the steel?

God, don't you know anything?

God no he doesn't

like the new photo much better than the the other one
