Diego_Sideburns Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 ...once the site has been cleared, after the current demolition of the terrace has been completed. At last it looks like a start is to be made sooner rather than later. http://www.oldhamathletic.co.uk/news/article/20130701-terracing-887359.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singe Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 in 2052 Is what I thought you were going to write. I always thought the Broadway housaes were a long way away, but they look closer to me. Mind you a bit of judicious tree planting would solve a few issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafcprozac Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 It says "it will be clear for construction to begin 'soon". Don't be counting those chickens yet, when I see heavy plant arriving then I'll believe.....even then I'll be worrying about a Port Vale scenario...

jsslatic Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Pretty sure the last comments from SC were that it hadn't gone out to tender yet or that the tenders were not yet due back in - have there been any noises on that front I've missed?

They maybe put in place but a lot of structural anlysis will need to be taken place which could take up to 6 months, then they will move onto the roof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the correct postage was missed off the documents sent out to tender. If firms want to submit quotes they first have to pick the Copy drawings up from Hamilton Street and pay the difference................

Likewise, but it also says "...will soon be replaced by the new North Stand." The Rome Mill wasn't built in a day and, before some doom-merchant says it, I know it's now demolished and houses built on the site. “The strongest of all warriors are these two — Time and Patience.” ― Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace.

oafcprozac Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I'm impressed with the way the club are going about the demolition of the remaining sections of the Lookers. Let's be honest it's only completing the half-arsed job that the demolition firm did in the Summer of 2008. Looks like there's finally a firm on the case that knows what they're doing. Looks a good tidy job so far.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The builders aren't going to be working at night and on a Sunday, so shouldn't worry about it. It's not like we are the first club to play whilst building a new stand next to the pitch.
