Take it the weather been great down there no rain or snow mmmm trying to start work in Jan feb is always risky ,
we are not building a house or breaking new ground its upgrading a old stand so delays happen , and I wouldn't be surprised if we missed finishing date , its part and parcel of building trade , money borrowed wasn't for transfers its for the ground only

It's been raining and snowing for the last few years?
 
Simon Jordan said on talksport about 2 years ago, there's absolutely no chance of the new stand being built, he was absolutely certain as he knows about issues no one else is privy to, he wouldnt discuss what the issues were. Most people said he was full of s***, its starting to look he was telling the truth to me.

I've heard from a reliable source that work will be starting soon but can't tell you who from as I'm making it up or am I mmmm ,

can tell you that there a couple of builders I know are are trying to get on the project as builders , they worked on spurs ground and knew all the issue there which wasn't being said in the papers which caused long delays

There would have to be an access route for vehicles to get materials in and out after the demolition of houses. It would have to sit alongside access for fans.

Could that be done while games are being played? If not, then nothing serious will happen until June. I guess we will find out soon enough.

They could at least demolish the Wooderson Close houses. The longer they stay there boarded up, the more chance there is of squatters gaining access. It would genuinely take no more than 3 full days for those properties to be knocked down and Grab Hire lorries to remove the rubble.
 
The fan zone is going in February apparently, then the houses go. So I’ve been told.
The new stand will go as far back as where the fan zone currently is.

I have no doubt that things will start happening soon. The club badly needs the upgrade.

Two blokes built the Tottenham stadium
Those polish are hard workers but s*** that’s impressive 😁
 
I did the stadium tour today. (Was good).

But I message because they changed the parking last minute as a result of the start of work on the new stand.

Ok…. this work is removing trees from the purchased houses behind the stand but it is the start of the work.

Parish would not have gone this deep into the project if that were true. Jordan never even got any plans drawn up. Hell, he never even owned the ground FFS. If there were underlying issues that prevented this stand from being built Parish would know about them by now and would have scrapped the project. He is a businessman. If his choices were still with it knowing you are throwing money down the toilet or look stupid for a while, scrap it and stop wasting money he'd choose the latter. Immediately.
Jordan just detests Parish, is jealous of how far the club has come under his stewardship and looks to downplay everything Palace does since he left the club.
