No idea but if I was in the SS level 2 i'd be wary of the stand above for the first couple of games haha

Breadrolls? Bloody heretic. They'll be having the finest croissants in there. Breadrolls are what the plebs in 111 eat.

Of course I won't. What's the point? Everyone knows it's barm.

Laing's working day and night and weekends - next 8 weeks.

Going to be tight.

But they can only work 7 till 7 ? unless that's changed

Can they not have a night shift doing internal work? I'm not in the construction business so have no idea what the rules are.

When a new stadium is built you have to have a couple of "dry runs" with the stadium 3/4 full. That's the law and it happened at COMS.

Does anyone know if that applies to a new stand/tier? I'd assume not.

Rumour of a couple of home pre-season matches. Might be the dry run.

They changed the planning order last April so they can work from 7am to 11pm externally but can work 24 hrs internally. I know this from bitter experience living on Ashton New Road

Quality updates from various supporters for the close season, lots of work to be completed but lots of faith in the contractors seeing what what they have achieved already.

every cloud has a silver lining eh? If you've got a £299 seat - you'll be able to zip wire back into your living room at the final whistle and avoid the hoards jamming down those new stairways of hell...

I sometimes work 24 hour shifts if a job needs to be done, there will be a shit load of hours being put in with the amount of work left. Wouldn't mine being on there myself, the contractors will be minted by the end of the summer.

I said from day 1 on here this summer was allways the pinch point. We have to hand the pitch back in about 2 weeks as well.

Very true Lee Jackson has asked for 6 weeks to sort the pitch out

 

[DiscoSteve]

so they've got to get all that heavy lifting done before the end of the month then

You're wasted on here sometimes lol

United have rebuilt three of their four stands . Don't recall there being any restrictions when they opened.

I think you're right.

I really hope the first home game WILL be on a Saturday at 3-00pm K.O. With a sell out - over 50,000 fans -

Non of this SKY Monday 8-00pm rubbish.

Over the last 4 seasons the eventual Premier League champions have played their first league game of the season on a Monday night:

2011-12 - CITY 4 Swansea 0
2012-13 - Everton 1 Pestilence 0
2013-14 - CITY 4 Newcastle 0
2014-15 - Burnley 1 Chelsea 3
