What's pink & hard first thing in the morning? The financial time crossword [url=http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/864/pinkhards.jpg/:39bjthd5][img:39bjthd5]http://img864.imageshack.us/img864/5724/pinkhards.jpg[/img:39bjthd5][/url:39bjthd5]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_65068.jpg



Quote: Prince Buster "Regarding the water, I understand your point in respect of the up lift in height. But the players changing rooms and toilets are all ground level. Plus as I understand things after the Bradford game the players had to shower in the old changing rooms, so obviously no problem there. I didn't hear about any water problems in the boxes either. Right at the start of this new stand costs were cut, the rain screens were the first to go.'"

Are the showers fed from the mains or from tanks located on the upper floors of the new stand?
When I was at the barrow game I took up the offer of the hospitality at £30 to check it all out, I was extremely disappointed at my findings, I have resisted posting on here all the things I see wrong with the build as didn't want to be associated with the "Negative posters brigade" but fi I was Matt I would be absolutely flippin livid at what's been done, so a simple "for instance" why is the bar and toilets on the pitch side of the stand, they should be on the car park side, with as much glass and natural light coming in from the pitch, the quality of the internal fit is sub standard, I think a DIY'er could have done as good a job the bar is simply not big enough, the main room is too small, should be 3 times the size with the ability to partition off smaller areas as and when needed (as is the case with similar facilities). I could hear running water all the time, so there was a leak somewhere and where will that water be going? There was plenty more wrong with it but I don't want to go to town on here as I'm sure ME is on top of sorting these things out. icon_thumb.gif

M.I.B. ??....nope - M.I.R.W.B !!! Sent from my steam-powered Sinclair ZX81.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_46136.jpg



Sounds like we would have been better off employing you to project manage it, FT ?? icon_thumb.gif icon_thumb.gif
Is it possible to switch things round and do as you suggest, or does the structural design prevent that from happening ??

Quote: FIL "Sounds like we would have been better off employing you to project manage it, FT ?? TBH I was a project manager for 2 years for a £760m turnover electrical distributor, where I looked after 3 of the largest electrical contractors in the UK, I project managed the lighting for the institute of sports facilities for the commonwealth games stadiums in Manchester (Now man city's stadium and sports village) during its construction, this would have been a lot simpler.
As for changing things around, I believe it can be done but at massive inconvenience and cost, it would have been a fraction of the cost to have had it right in the first place.

It's not being negative, but being realistic. Many of those things you have seen should not have occurred . Pity Matt Ellis didn't take over much sooner

What's very disappointing for Matt and the club is that the new era has started off the field in such a way .

The new stand isn't just a new stand it's much more than that , it's a significant move forward and the first project that will hopefully take the club to where we all believe it can compete along with many other projects to come .

Whilst I wouldn't go as far as to say we've fallen at the first fence it's still none the less unacceptable .

As others have said Matt must be fuming , the man comes across as someone who insists on the highest of standards and in my opinion is the real deal , he's not bought the club to scratch around just above the bottom of Super League .

Hopefully it gets sorted relatively quickly .

I'm pretty sure he knew he wasn't buying a finished product.
He'll get these things sorted I'm sure.

To a certain extent this is the advantage of being in Championship this year.
We can resolve them slightly under the radar so we can be up and running in Super League
