Stevie_J Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 As already mentioned, building projects run over all the time. However, the club should have been very careful about making false promises and selling season tickets for the new stand was, in my opinion, an error. Likewise, I think the partial opening this weekend is something of an error. It should be a big event, with all the bells and whistles that have been mooted, not something that leaves an awful lot of the most loyal of the fanbase feeling let down. Again.

Isn't the partial opening a requirement of the licence being given and enforeced on the club rather than their choosing? I agree, though, it should hzve been more carefully managed. They took a gamble and took a heavy hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hands on Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I love strict deadlines. Apparently the people at OMBC are not being as helpful as they could be - probably insisting on everything being right and not happy to work at short notice to check that it is.

Pine Villains Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Not so myth, then. The 12th Sept defeat seems to have caused a bit of a reaction, much happen?.... inconclusive as there is not enough wins to compare.........the sample is too small Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SavageTheBeast Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Looks like some lads will be working on it all night @Matt_Chambers_: Stand saga ongoing. No green light yet, despite Latics' belief every obstacle has been overcome. May run through to tomorrow. #oafc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego_Sideburns Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 It stands to reason that some upstanding supporters will be happy as things stand. Others will want to know where they stand, so they can stand up and be counted, or make a stand so they can stand out from the crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thought of a bells and whistles opening now, with Owen telling us how grateful we should all be for the facilities, makes me feel a little bit sick.

Apparently the people at OMBC are not being as helpful as they could be - probably insisting on everything being right and not happy to work at short notice to check that it is.There's a difference between not working at short notice and working over-time on a Friday in order to process the paperwork. If the paperwork takes a significant amount of time to process, then a deadline of 11am the working day before is not that unreasonable IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyleArmy1994 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Ackey you should pin this thread so that when the new stand is fully complete, we have 230+ pages of memories to read back on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beag_teeets Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 We've had new buildings open for a 'soft launch' a few weeks before the official launch, it would seem that the new Lookers will probably fall into this category. I'm going to check before I set off for tomorrow's defeat but I'm hopeful I'll be watching it from a totally new viewing point tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIKI1234 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 4 o clock on Friday and no news. With it being so late and still no news there must be a good chance it might be open. A race against time to get things sorted. Or they will release a statement a 4.59pm that there is another delay and then log off and all go home.

Diego_Sideburns Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Matt Chambers @Matt_Chambers_ 2h2 hours ago @HallamMacca Never say never but can't see that. Longer it goes without statement to contrary, greater chance it will open as planned. #oafc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsslatic Posted October 16, 2015 Author Share Posted October 16, 2015 I almost expect there to now be no announcement at all. We'll just tip up tomorrow and it won't be open. I'd love to be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
