There's still 102 weeks until 2020. The stadium build only takes around 50 of those, especially if all the groundworks are done in this year. It's probably less in practice.heritage1926 wrote:There was an interview with him on Look North i believe, where he clearly said we will be in a new stadium by 2020 and that we only have a matter of so many games left to play at WR? either he's a confident man and knows something we don't or he's telling the fans what they want to hear!HuddsTigers wrote:Completely wrong. SG has continuously said he will NOT put out news to appease the fans. The club is reliant on Lateral and the people involved to dictate when things should be released, and the club will only release news when there is news.heritage1926 wrote:As much as Steve Gill as admittedly turned the club around, he is living in a dream world when he said we would be in a new stadium by 2020. Didn't he come out last year in an interview and say we had so many games left at WR? he strikes me as a man that will say whatever to get the fans on side short term.
Comparing is futile purely for the fact they were built in different economies and different market conditions.old cas lass wrote:Anyone know how long it took from getting planning permission to actually playing a game in the saints and Warrington stadiums.
Just want some sort of comparison.
Spot on. The key thing is that we maintain a CEO, Board, coaching staff & playing squad that allows to compete with the best. A new home will happen at some point...Robbo wrote:We are being funded as part of a retail development.
Steve was probably told these dates.
It’s a difficult one of which the club has NO control.
I think unlike HUD 2020 is not going to happen. It’s too tight.
I think if the development happens and it’s still a 50/50 bet then we have 5 more seasons at home. If nothing is signed by 2020 then we look at plan B.
If it happens before these dates it’s a bonus. That way we can put the matter to bed.
For now we concentrate on building on 2017 on the field.
That’s my view

The first I remember of plans for a new ground was in the mid 70s while I was still at school, over 40 years ago!Lofthouse Tiger wrote:Dont get built overnight? Try dont get built over a decade. Does anyone know when the club first decided on a new ground. Just the year will do.

They are closing part of the slip roads it seems. I would assume this is where they are planning to park work vehicles as they can hardly park them on the site/main road!Nu Shooze wrote:Yeh, on the M62!yorky wrote:sounds like things are about to start then!
It was "Support cables for supplying electricity have been installed underneath the field where the facility will be located". Given it's across the other side of the site for the stadium, I doubt you will have seen much from Xscape side.- electrical cables having been laid. I live within a 1/4 mile of the site and pass it almost every day and have seen no evidence of the work that would be required to lay electric supply cables for a development of that size. Also it's very unlikely that any utilities will be installed until the ground has been levelled
Generally adverse weather conditions delays things, as well as having more daylight hours. A spring start means less stop-start and I assume with them doing coal extraction on the site first, this also plays a part in the decision.work has stopped because the weather is 'bad' in the winter. Well plenty of other construction sites seem to keep going, in fact the bulldozers moved in and started work on the new ground in York in December.
As has been explained on this thread, the work is being done in phases. The first phase is the roadworks, coal extraction and some of the preparatory groundworks. No major work will begin until phase 3, which is after the country park has been contoured and planted.All the time that this goes on costs Lateral money. If it was close to coming off some of the more major work required would have already started.

Read it again and seen that bit. Sounds positive. Here's hoping. :pray:sirocco7 wrote:HuddsTigers wrote:They are closing part of the slip roads it seems.

Clearly says it’s for access to 5 Towns Park...
“M62 Eastbound and Westbound Jct 32 Lane closures on slip roads for Highway Access to Five Towns Park”
Yes and in to allow them access to the site. They can’t park on the site so they will have to close the M62 to park all the equipment/machinery to do the road layoutssirocco7 wrote:HuddsTigers wrote:They are closing part of the slip roads it seems.
