Excellent choice of fence We'll; be able to see through it to watch the progress. I hate these solid fences that hinder a good gawp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Mikey Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 There was a thread about the new stand name a while ago IIRC. There were many suggestions along the lines of "The Who'd A Thowt It Stand", "Gerron, We'll Never Build It Stand", and "Bloody Hell, We've Managed It Stand". Your guess is as good as mine, but I imagine it will most likely take the name of the biggest sponsor, whoever that might be. That is, if there are any sponsors, of course. The Town Hall steps stand.

laticdickovarmy Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 I hope the contractors never have a minute of from now on in and work through the night, I expect it to be built by next Thursday before a bombshell kicks in and we are told that infact the stand was meant for another ground! Awaits a statement on the fishal site telling us that we have run out of money and you have to bring your own seats from home if you want to come to the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latics_Fanatic Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 More like Corney going into a landfill sight, balaclava on, in the dead on night to re-claim the seats that were thrown away 4 years ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimsleftfoot Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Just found this picture on Twitter of it. Earthshattering. Amazed or what.... There's a video on You Tube about some guy who was trying to report to the club that the stand was insecure and he could just walk in and the clubs response was that they would have him arrested for trespassing.... but didn't seem too bothered about the stand been insecure.

You can't have anyone arrested for trespassing. It's not a criminal offence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youngen Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Goes back quite a significant distance actually... Promising! Anyway - i wish they'd paint that :censored:ing rood - RoofGate next! I would imagine its fenced so far back as the removed rubble/ground which will be dug up, will need to be shifted somewhere before its offloaded. Not to mention the site cabins and material storage areas! I wonder who is undertaking the early works? States that they are just removing the police box and some other little areas, but they cant name the main contractor as they havent been selected yet. Good old traditional procurement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but to a generation of fans its always going to be reffered to as the Lookers stand perhaps the older generation still refer to it as the ford stand one of the quirkier aspects of Latics fans Message here for advertisers sponsor the stand and a generation of fans will remember your name.

Good old traditional procurement I'm guessing the removal of things includes the terrace and possibly the corner flag suite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pukka Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 (edited) <span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif">Message here for advertisers sponsor the stand and a generation of fans will remember your name. I'd name it after one of: Andy Ritchie Joe Royle Jimmy Frizzell Roger Palmer I know people will say "we need money from sponsorship" but seriously, how much can we get from Verlin (who are they anyway?) and direct all alarms? Can't get much. Edited May 16, 2013 by pukka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
