The Co-op Live, next to the Etihad.

I work in construction so I get all of that, but regardless to miss the target date by such a distance and then still fail to deliver is ridiculous and surprising given our owners are involved and have a bit of experience in this sort of thing!

As I said though, no one will care when it finally does open. All will be forgotten and it will go on to be the venue they all expect it to be I'm sure.

I dont work in construction and know very little about it. But for the last few months whenever I’ve walked past the building I’ve thought “that’s never going to be ready in time”. At what point should they have realised that they were pushing it too fine?

There will be so much more focus on the stadium redevelopment now, internal and external.

First week over as PR at the CO-OP arena think it went quite well.

I’ve compared it to new builds, too. Some of them are absolutely shite and are knocked up in moments and sold for big money. You’d have to be an absolute mug to buy a new build. That or be in your mid 20s, turkey teeth, fake Jordan missus on your arm and a Range Rover evoque.

Welcome to Blackley!!

Just another symptom of the shit this country has become.

No building project hitting its targets or getting anywhere near them. I think back to our South Stand expansion. It was touch and go and a little rough and ready but it got done.

I'd be shocked if the North Stand is anywhere near ready for the season after next, despite a promising start.

You can't expect people who are paid to build things to just show up and build things FFS!

I did wonder why Everton aren’t moving into their new stadium as soon as it’s finished given their financial situation. Looking at this mess I now understand.

Everton made some comment about not wanting to change the pre-match routines of fans during the season. Makes no sense whatsoever; perhaps there is more to it? Or perhaps there's no chance of a test fixture being arranged.
