Fair enough. My confusion revolved around you quoting the wrong post though

Well, it has only been 3 years in the planning. These things can't be rushed. I take it everything's still on track for the ground to be "unrecognisable" by the end of June? I will nominate pmh to be the independent arbiter of this statement as it's unlikely he'll actually attend a game before the date this statement is enacted, ie 2 July, with his convenient prior commitments to basket-weaving and CAMRA Royston Vasey weekends. As a consequence he will miss the construction phase of the East and clearance for the North. The test will therefore be whether he passes the apparently technically complex development known locally as the CP Deathstar, disorientated because the ground is just, well, unrecognisable.

When I was last there 3 weeks ago they didnt have the final design drawings at that point. I supose its possible that the drawings could have failed building regs. Either way, work is definitely on hold.
Oh no!

You seriously want to go down that road? I'll save you a lot of aggro mate and remind folks that this is about the hold up on the east stand extension.

Update on whats going on.
Turns out that the original design for the east stand extension didnt include any disabled areas. Obviously this was turned down. Rovers then said that they would build 2 more dug out type things at pitch level, this was rejected because it discriminated against the disabled in that it is their human right to be able to have the same atmosphere/experience as able bodied supporters, so the area had to be in the stand. Rovers then said that they would put double the disabled areas in the proposed North stand, this was also rejected. So the plans were then re-drawn and submitted for Building Regs approval, but the Council Offices were closed for Easter. Predicted to be another month before the site is back open.
The North Stand is due to be awarded to a contractor in early June, with work due to start sometime in July.
Cheers

Thanks for the update Alfie.
