Fair play to them coaching 50k fans to Stockport every weekend. ;)

I Think entrance Y is ok maybe going through what was the exit with handheld scanners,
entrances A and Z are now using the spirals instead,
I go in through A normally but have had email to tell me to use the spiral C,
now waiting for my phone ticket to update to show this, the email said will be done in 48 hours,
4 hours to go tick tock, sure all will be fine??

Yeah we’re Z moving to X

Two of my season tickets have been updated, 2 haven’t. So I’ll maybe have to decide which child I like best and abandon the other two outside to play on the building site.

Buckingham Group Contracting acknowledged that filing a notice to appoint administrators would “come as a shock” to stakeholders.

“Very strong delivery and commercial performance across most of the business has been outweighed by deep losses and interim cash deficits incurred on the three major stadium and arena contracts, and a substantial earthworks contract in Coventry,” Buckingham Group said in a statement.

“This situation on these four long-term, major projects developed through a combination of unexpected impacts such as the extreme inflation linked to the Ukraine conflict and other challenges in the sports and leisure division,” the statement continued.

Buckingham Group Contracting said the decision was due to “rapidly escalating contract losses and a sharp reduction in liquidity”.

Will be interesting to see what the final construction costs will be for the Coop Live Arena and the North Stand expansion. If those figures are ever made public?

Same here. Mines not updated either but I wasn’t hopeful.

They won't be. But it doesn't take a genius to work out how BAMs figures will have been effected.

I had to turn off automatic updates then turn it back on again and it now works

Think the one that really fucked Bucks Group is Craven Cottage, was always gonna be challenging with it being listed. Unfortunately its been a race to the bottom for a while as regards pricing for construction projects with percentage margins down to single digits, so any delays or price shocks cant be absorbed if they have gone in as a fixed price and the client is playing hardball commercially.

Its a shame really as I've work with Bucks a few times on infrastructure jobs and always found them to be one of the better construction contractors.
