3fingersreid Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 From hobos.net fat freddy 09:41 PM Yesterday Heard tonight that another two brickies walked off site today, arguments over the turnstyle build, they were told to re-do some work but weren't happy with the terms on offer. The lift shaft is becoming increasingly problematic, it has been built in the same manner as The Leaning Tower of Pisa and is several centimetres off between top and bottom, it could be costly when it comes to putting the lift in position. They've also ordered the wrong size of lintels for the openings at the lift doors, I hope they're not going to do any short cuts to remedy this problem. Morale is at an all time low on site, some of the management are at breaking point, I'm hearing from some involved that its one of the worst run jobs they've ever been on. January now a more likely completion date. The thread has now reached 100 pages. Keep yer chin up Thomaso , don't let your moral drop They really are the gift that keeps on giving , arseholes the lot of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambothump Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 sorry but the only one having problems with English is yourself. I've read your posts a couple of times and, although your second attempt made a bit more sense than your first hilarious post, still not quite sure what your point is. You have been told repeatedly that, if the seats had been ordered properly and on time, then the stand would have been ready to admit spectators for the Aberdeen game.Being told something and the actuality of it ,are two different things, I am getting fed up with the low life intellect on this board, you as with others do not earn or command a reply Sent from my FDR-A01L using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
August Landmesser Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 How much is it costing? Now the transfer window (the reason given by many for the silence) is closed we can announce it, yeah? As I understand it, the original budget for the stand was ?10m (plus ?1m contingency) and ?1m for the rest of the ground - ?11m total (plus ?1m contingency). There's been a ?2million extension to the original budget, I'm not sure if this involves using the ?1m contingency. So, the stand is now costing either ?12m (plus ?1m contingency) or ?12m (including ?1m contingency) and I'm boring myself even typing this so fair play if anyone reads to the end.

"Hello Mr car salesman felly, I've a budget of 10k and want a new car." Certainly sir, but that's the basic model without the cup holder, the parking sensors and central locking, the upgraded model comes it at 12k. "Aye but that'll be over budget and that's just criminal" Ok sir, the 10k model it is. "Actually, geez the 12k wan." Is that easier to understand for some, I'm only trying to help btw.

If you have friends/family who may be willing to give you the extra then maybe it is a fair idea. Your family/friends would have to suffer financially for a couple of years, though.

What if you can afford the extra without asking friends and family, what about friends and family being more than happy to oblige. What about keeping finances strictly in house.

Over budget is over budget is over budget. Increasing a budget and over budget are different. In you analogy if 10k is his budget, buying the 12k one is still over budget.

King Of The Cat Cafe Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 To elaborate, at East Fife game, comments were made on stand being ready for 9th sept. I said they must be meeting their programme KPI's or it would be flagged up for a delay. One week later, visually obvious on progress, programme date would not be met. After this, seats, haven't been ordered, I would surmise, supplier would want a pro forma payment, so hold off order till last minute. When order is eventually placed, supplier informs you, that you missed your delivery time slot window. It's what suppliers do, once they have your money, I was a tier 2 buyer in construction for RBS, NatWest (same company) and Nationwide. Good fun, your procurement schedule of both contractors and materials dictate your programme, labour require materials, their availability is most important. Perhaps we have not been deliberately misled, construction has been excellent, it would have been better to have been less optimistic at the outset. I would still have bought my season ticket, but felt less cheated, I'm still paying to FOH, it needs sorted on the pitch though.
