The Red Planet Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Could I be allowed to be a bit sensible on this rather light hearted thread ? Having attended the fan's consultation meeting about the stadium redevelopment, if my memory of the timetable serves me well, this confirms the contractors are on schedule, which means that the new stand should be ready for the start of next season. Then the Williams stand is demolished for redevelopment during next season. Just a thought. Most of the club's management have offices in the Williams I believe. Where will they go when it comes down ? I can't remember this being mentioned at the meeting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EstoniaTallinnRed Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Is this 1 step up from getting excited about Piling? You should be jealous, I been watching an eight storey block of flats going up next door to ours since February. I can tell you it amazing how easy they make it look. The best part was watching the tower crane go up, two men who climbed like ants and even assembled the gib in the dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidered abroad Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Iv'e got an N Gauge model railway, I never had an electric train set when I was a kid. So put a stadium next to the station! I am designing a new layout at the moment of the Somerset & Dorset at Evercreech and trying to justify the inclusion of a football stadium. Once an adult, twice a child and I hope this second childhood lasts long enough to build the layout and see City back in the top tier where we belong.
