leeslover Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Hiya lads. You thinking what I'm thinking?I'm not thinking about having to take that job in my father in law's jewellery shop, so no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SavageTheBeast Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Would it not be an idea to arrange friendlies for these "ramp up" games in order to prevent those of us who have paid £350 to watch League One games from the stand ultimately seeing even fewer League One games .......? I'll even go to the friendlies if having my arse on a seat helps.... Or play reserve games and bus a load of people in to meet the required numbers if need be....??? Could do what city did and even have an open training session Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryBosch Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Could do what city did and even have an open training session Assuming the 50% capacity represents the number of season ticket holders (does it?) I want to sit with mates who don't have season tickets..... This could enable it to be "full" for the first League Game it's ready for.... And enable the club to immediately start taking money at the bars.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyleArmy1994 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Ive been the told the Balti pie will not feature in the new stand as Corney doesnt want to add an extra £150k in costs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SavageTheBeast Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I've been told 2 ramp up events before its fully opened. That's obvious because you need two events in order to gain the safety certificate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al_bro Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Doubt they'd be embarrassed. They'd be fined by the regulator for failing to meet new connections SLAs, but that's business, nothing to be embarrassed about. However from what I've heard, the delays are purely down to failings on OAFC's side. As suspected. In that case the director in charge of project management should be relieved of his duties, as they would be for such a serious delay in a building company.

Sorry to break it to you, but we're really not that important in the grand scheme of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyleArmy1994 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 So they started work on tarmacing the car park with no clue whether they would be able to even afford it or not...? I dont believe that for one second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoke to my source today he's said that the tarmacing for the car park has been put back because we are unable to afford it. I'm struggling with this. So just to clarify, we've been adding to the squad in the last month but have been unable to finish the stand because we couldn't afford to pay the electric bill? And now, a day after signing another player, we can't afford to pay the tarmac bill? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And now, a day after signing another player, we can't afford to pay the tarmac bill? We had a six figure bill to be paid in order for the electricity company to make the connection this was the delay. We have paid it but that came at the expense of the tarmacing bill which, as been put back a week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps they signed Yeates as they assumed his beard and tattoos would mean he had contacts in the Tarmac business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
