Wait till they actually see it.........

I like those dots at the end of your reply @roydo , a Freudian slip perhaps lol

Other companies involved in the scheme included Sir Robert McAlpine but the Emirates Stadium builder dropped out of the race because of worries over ground conditions at the waterfront site.
Wonder what that was?

Its unreal isn't it.

I finally understand why they got proper experts in to do the planning and took their time over the application, rather than just nipping into this thread to see what the GOT massive thought.

Oh great, made a great decision leaving Laing O’Rourke 9 months ago

You could have had your footprints in the foundations of our new stadium
Now there’s a story to tell your grandkids

Presume this appointment of contractor pretty much negates any concerns over how it's being financed?

 

[Brisan123]

It's similar to what Brighton do at Falmer station - which is grim when you've lost and it's lashing it down.

Having said that, although there's currently a crush to get on the first post match train at Kirkdale, it's nowhere near as bad as it is by the Amex, which is partly because the Amex is in the middle of nowhere, so it's either use the train or the park and ride.

Getting away from BMD for lots of people won't be much worse than it currently is for getting away from Goodison. On any half decent day I'd just walk into town and grab something to eat before pushing off home.

I’d do exactly the same
Just change the word home for pub lol

Not quite, seen a load of projects get scrapped after a main contractor has been appointed.

It's in the Heritage pdf. In there it states 52,888.

52,888 is referenced throughout. A couple of the docs has the following breakdown:

Supporter profile and stadium seating
5.3.2 For a typical match at the stadium, capacity is set at 52,888. It should be noted that this includes
all people who will be seated within the stadium on match days: accordingly, it includes all
‘revenue’ seats i.e. paying supporters and ‘non-revenue seats’ such as team benches, officials
and media. A breakdown is provided below:
● Standard home seats: 43,880
● Premium seating: 5,782 (including boxes and hospitality).
● Away seats: 2,968
● Non-Revenue seats: directors, teams, officials press & media: 258
● Total 52,888

Brexit will mean it’ll never be built due to a lack of foren builders

Edit " foreign"

Club probably asking successful contractor to take on some element of the risk associated with this aspect of the work which was deemed unacceptable to the powers that be within McAlpine.

Sacrifice a goat before we play the rs.

That’s not nice

Two different things.

Laings will have a contract with the club and, although they'll have more than a passing interest in how we raise the cash to pay them, they'll be more concerned about their contract than our financing mechanism.

That said, they'll presumably be in the loop on the financing situation, but that doesn't mean it's 100% done and dusted yet ... not that I have any doubts about it being done, but the fat lady ( or gentleman ? ) hasn't fully sung yet.

Great find, so that's 52,630 paying punters per game.

I know it’s obvious to say like, but the amount of technical expertise and research that has gone into that application is incredible. I’ve only glanced at some of the Docs (and there’s more dropping on) but the detail and scale of the project is mind-boggling.

Not exactly a kitchen extension on the back of a cigarette packet is it
