SL not based on level playing field.

The extra tragic game can give an advantage.

Turn round games, just how that will work with games now on Thu, Fri, and Sat will be interesting.

Err I think you'll find it is, that's the point of a rule book, the fact that it often isn't is due to the flagrant ignoring of said rules when it suits.

Anyone watch the match on sky last night? Someone at work said they were talking about the new stand, just wandering what was said.

I don’t know what was said on tv, but before the game, I read the notes by JM in the March issue if Mighty Trin, in which he explains there had been recently some frustrating days and mountains of documents to process try to get the funds paid into he bank account, and by the time we read these notes, there should be some good news for everyone, and detailed plans published of the new Stand and development.

Hopefully we are still on for starting after the cas game.

the way gas and oil prices are zooming its going due to the war in Ukraine it will in the end up put prices right up

Although I get your point and it will effect it to a degree there is a time lag on these things.



I’m guessing much of the stuff is already made or off the shelf and already ordered. So we should avoid the worst.



All the same we don’t half have an unfortunate knack of getting close just as the economy dips.



Thornes was a great example. Although there were other factors the biggest issue was the 2010 crash which hit WMDC harder than most.

i am starting to get nervous now -

Why?

What the eye doesn’t see, the Heart doesn’t grieve, there is a lot going on behind the scenes at BV, and many meetings involving a wide range of partners. At least that’s what my understanding is of the current situation.

Been past BV several times today and they have been working on the floodlights again...presumably replacing the blown bulbs ??

Yes I saw that when I passed at 3pm and they were still up there (or up there again) at 5.45pm. Must have those nightmare bi-pin connections like in my kitchen?

You don't think MC would fork out for bi-pin bulbs when he could probably get uni-pin ones for half the price, do you ??

any chance "jerkcourt" have honoured their planning agreement yet and placed the funds for the stadium redevelopment in the appropriate account yet?



or would i be better advised to ask if Bo Jonson has stopped lying and knows how many children he has (was the best comparator I could think of in terms of the likely answer being yes!)

Don’t know but I’d trust Boris more.



Been asked by a couple of folk if it’s true that something positive took place last week. I don’t have any inside line as such so I’ll give it a day or two and just email JM and ask. It’s up to him what he wants to tell me which may well be nothing





The vibe seems positive but then we’ve been there before.

It's the ultimate question, we've a few weeks to find out. I would've thought there would've been some prep work for any temp seating given there is only the Salford and Cas game before the East Stand is scheduled to be demolished

My guess is we may not hit those deadlines but honestly just a guess.

Wonder if we might be hearing something stadium wise fairly soon

How soon?

Not sure. I’d be more precise but I’ve learnt that’s never a good idea stadium wise.

Fingers crossed. I'm as much looking forward to seeing the new stand built as I am watching the games.

i know what be possible but it would be great after being on nat free to air tv and winning against a big club - we may have got some new fans - be great to announce something this week

Same here Vasty, Chicken and egg spring to mind, but I’m more optimistic now than any other time.

I posted a couple of weeks ago, that almost daily meetings being held at BV with involved partners,(builders, architects accountants etc). The news is good, although the initial time frame might have changed a little, but if the dates are correct, it won’t be just Trinity fans celebrating on that day.

Any clues for us???

Perhaps something to do with the Queen's celebrations, dunno
