deyres42 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 They seem reasonable arrangements, considering. Having to exchange your ticket beforehand if you want to go in the Main stand doesn't strike me as reasonable regardless if it is their fault or not.

LaticsChris Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Having to exchange your ticket beforehand if you want to go in the Main stand doesn't strike me as reasonable regardless if it is their fault or not. The Main Stand is always all-ticket, I imagine largely for safety reasons. If they just said anyone from the North Stand could use the Main Stand without exchanging a ticket then there's potentially an extra 1000 (I don't know the ST figures) people turning up unannounced in the most populated stand.

deyres42 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Missing the point, they are saying you cannot switch your ticket on matchday if you want to go in the Main stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryBosch Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Missing the point, they are saying you cannot switch your ticket on matchday if you want to go in the Main stand. Aah, I see. Still, I can understand it as they can''t have potentially several hundred people queuing at two windows on a matchday. It was only ever a handful when RRE'ers could move to the Chaddy End.

deyres42 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Of course it isn't a massive thing in the grand scheme but punters shouldn't be having to put up with more inconvenience. Was there any mention of reduced admission for two games when ST's went on sale? I don't recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My main stand seat has reserved on it for league games and that's where I'll be sat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forte_Baby Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 The reason you need am ticket for the main stand upper is due to it's limited seating and seats being reserved. Otherwise it be a free for all on matchdays people just trying to sit where they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clifford Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Dont shoot the messenger. Hearing that building control are unhappy with the foundations. Possibility that the foundations may have to come up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4froale Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Dont shoot the messenger. Hearing that building control are unhappy with the foundations. Possibility that the foundations may have to come up. Building control have to pass the foundations off before a single brick is laid. Im not saying that you are lying, but if this is true, the builders have seriously cut some corners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bozman Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 From http://www.planningportal.gov.uk/buildingregulations/howtogetapproval/howtogetapproval/bconsiteapproval/siteinspections Site inspectionsWhere a Local Authority building control service is being used, the Building Regulations require that notice is given to the Local Authority of commencement and completion of the work and at certain other stages: Commencement: at least two days before the work is commenced Completion: not more than five days after the work is completed In respect of other stages, the notice required is (in practice) at least one whole day's and relates to: excavation for a foundation (before covering up) the foundation itself (before covering up) any damp proof course (before covering up) any concrete or material laid over a site (before covering up) When these stages are reached the work should pause to give the authority time to make an inspection. They will advise you if the work does not comply with the Building Regulations. Where a building is being erected, and that building (or part of it) is occupied before completion, the person carrying out the work is required to give the Local Authority at least five days notice before the occupation. If the local authority is not informed of relevant stages of work for inspection it may, by notice in writing, require the work to be opened up for inspection so that it can be ascertained whether or not the work complies with the Building Regulations.

bozman Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Surely more likely to bankrupt the builders. If it's true I think the council would be at least partially liable, given that they would have passed the foundations as fit for purpose before they were covered up. Either way, I'd expect it to be covered by someone's insurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senor_Coconut Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 My source within the club informed me that unless we hit the fa cup jackpot, we didn't, then we'd have to sell to get the building back on. I'm not sure we have anyone we can sell really so I'd be surprised if it starts before summer. Same source Clifford old boy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
