Or any other de facto public subsidy of a professional sports club.


But that is another very well-worn path.
Important civic institutions are professional sports clubs, IMO. Even the ones I don't support myself.

How much do peppercorn's cost to rent?

I was not talking about the main structure.
You will be suprised how quickly the main steel work goes up.
It's the fitting out that will take months to complete.
Fitting the concrete blocks and seating areas takes no time at all.
The fans could access the stand without entering the main building.

Ah, rhetorical questions - 'the stock-in-trade weapon ay burds and psychos' as Tommy tells us in Trainspotting.

FC and City pay £2m pa to the SMC. A commercial, rather than peppercorn, arrangement. Karl Turner is on record as saying that Hudgell's agitation on this project has been unhelpful at times(East Sard - RL World May edition, article East is East). Why continue to bite the hand that feeds disproportionately
generously?

No it isn't. But we've been here before - If I trusted you I'd suggest you dig up a version from the archives.

Do you really want to do it all again?*




He also acknowledged that it was very natural that Hudgell pursued a Rovers-centric agenda. Hudgell made a point of thanking the council and possibly Brady himself in that article. Disproportionately generous, eh? Even allowing for our truths and yours being different to the point of diametric opposition, that looks like...




*As I'm not a 'burd', I guess that makes me a psycho.

Any steel work gone up yet, how long has it been now. This could be ranking alongside that footbridge to knowhere on the river hull that has taken years to get off the ground. Come on lets sort it. lets finally be proud of a building in east hull.

More pictures.
Piling seems to be now complete with the next stage well under way.

Anyone in the building industry will tell you 2/3 of the job is underneath. Once it starts growing its quick. Believe.

Absolutaly, you only have to look at the St Stephens complex as an example. I was doing some work near to there during its construction, i used to look every day and think to myself, is anything happening on that site as no real visible progress was evident for months, then wham,! it shot up in next to no time and before you knew it the cladding was been put on and windows etc inserted.

Do you have H&P's permission to be putting those photo's on the internet?

I'm sure they won't mind that Fans are interested in the build of our new stand. Infact it's publicity for H&P surely?

I have the clubs permission.
Plus if they didn't want anyone looking in why did they cut 3 2x2 foot squares holes in their white material so folks could look in?

And just so you are aware I have asked in the past and the reaction I got is 'feel free'.

Seeing as Alfie Moon was unable to get the holes covered here is the latest set of photo's.

The holes in the fence are so that people can see in rather than climb over fencing. I was thinking more along the lines of work in progress/practices being uploaded onto the internet without them being aware. There is a difference in the Site Manager allowing an interested supporter a few photos and them being put up on a public forum, not to mention the subbies who I doubt have any idea of the photos. It would only take an unintentional photo of an unsecured ladder/unprotected excavation etc to get in front of the wrong eyes for problems to start.

Believe me, i'm not trying to be awkward here.

Better tell them to be on their best behaviour then, I mean - it's on a live webcam, I'm sure there is no tomfoolery going on like burning Rovers shirts or urinating behind the digger.

We may have met.

I hope not.

Then they should follow the rules then.
Not my problem not being funny I have received permission form the club and have mentioned that I have been posting them on a fans forum to the builders.

I've been informed the North Stand seating should be ready with a limited capacity for the first home game in March 2013, subject to everything going to plan. It should be fully operational by the end of April.

If so that is great news as I was expecting it be towards the end of the year it would be open. Only downside would be that it wont have its big grand opening for a certain game and instead is opened in parts.

First month away from home?

I reckon season will start extra early for the RLWC

In future would it be possible to give a warning before making such exciting and momentous announcements?

I just wet my under garments with joy.
