Yeah I can imagine Levy turning up like the Godfather to give them an offer they can't refuse

Message I got from a contractor friend of mine is that 35 out of 300 fire loops are working at the stadium and one contractor has been told to put 50 men on site for 3-4 month's.
Everyone wants credit for it being delayed, this is the weirdest phenomenon I've ever seen.So many people coming out now with news of this and that being delayed
That seems low - the West, North and half the East stand have had a long time to have the internals fitted out and tested.Message I got from a contractor friend of mine is that 35 out of 300 fire loops are working at the stadium and one contractor has been told to put 50 men on site for 3-4 month's.
Taking photographs.ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHH WHERE ARE THE BUILDERS
I’m not entirely sure how anyone thinks that 62k is somehow going to beat our highest attendance record...
Thanks Macenot ready until after Xmas. apparently we've paid the fa to use Wembley for the next 3 months
Interesting comment: All the works are behind inside the stadium. Daniel Levy gave the contract to his brother-in-law for all the interior work (Base) that’s what I was told by people inside the stadium. Mace got the exterior and supposedly ain’t that far from completion.
I think this is worth reinforcing. Mace aren't "doing the exterior". They aren't contractors at all. They're construction managers. They have overall responsibility for the entire stadium build - everything from the deepest piled foundations to the cockerel on the roof. That means they also have overall responsibility for whatever bits Base (I've never heard of them) have been subcontracted to do.Complete rubbish. Base are doing the Paxton building (ticket office) and the interior of the shop/experience only.
Mace are doing the stadium. Base aren't involved in that at all.

alright clever clogs ?No, we paid last January for an option to use Wembley until December. We have not paid now for the next three months.
Probably mate I am just passing on from someone close to it but there us a bit to do.Could the 3-4 months not involve the other buildings though ? And I’m sure even after we host 1st game they’ll still probably be a few months work left. I guess anything now NFL related as in changing rooms will be left.
There's just too much ignorant nonsense on this thread. I don't have time to refute it all. It's just one paranoid extrapolation and misunderstanding after another.
The fire safety system has failed tests. That's what's happened. Nothing to do with stands or exterior cladding or the whole project running late since months ago. Just the fire safety systems. That's enough to derail everything, all on its own.
Going by the info that was passed onto me I'm not close to these works but he is being asked to really push on.That seems low - the West, North and half the East stand have had a long time to have the internals fitted out and tested.
What I can't understand is Mace knew the project was running late - Levy himself told us that the roof going up in Jan would be a good indicator if we were on schedule (it was months late) - why didn't they focus on getting 3 stands good to go, and leave the North stand for after?
In the first plans, we were going to be playing in a 3 stand stadium for a season, so it is not that unthinkable.
I know that would be pretty awful for those with season tickets there, and I'm not sure that seats could be found for everyone, but as it is, we are looking at staying at Wembley for another full season.
Maybe that was the undisclosed plan and this officer has vetoed the idea. That would make sense.
