Surely Odin Bailey’s office should be relocated first (maybe or maybe not Odin relocated with it?). And I’m not absolutely sure County has 18,000 potential Porsche customers to justify making no changes to the other end of the Danny stand.

That’s very kind - I’ll have a pint of bitter & a chip barm please

Was there any asbestos on the rooftop of one of the stadiums I heard … ?

If so that whole stadium in question ( main stand not the Cheadle end ) must come down won’t it ?

Roof will need to be sealed and then very carefully taken down if asbestos involved.

So embody I’ll advisedly power hoses on a warehouse I used to work at. It was a record place for a bank. Showered the warehouse below in powder infused with asbestos.

The bank legally had to be able to produce the paper documents so had to put a bubble over the whole warehouse and then had a team in space suits working 24/7 to seal every card and bit of paper. Took a year.

Warehouse was on Roundthorne industrial estate:

Great that we have an update but work won’t begin until the close season in 2026.

Why wait ?

Why wait?

It's because Dosser wants to reflect whether his 7,399 servants should pay or receive complimentary entrance.

It says in the article that the decision being made in July doesn't give enough time to mobilise contractors etc.

Well I wasn’t expecting them to roll in the diggers in July 2025 but perhaps jan 2026. Anyway it’s progress. Hopefully there is no issue with the approval.

(I find the stadium rebuild more interesting than a signing. It’s a huge statement)

Just hope the diggers rolling in doesn't coincide with our relegation from the Championship!

I doubt it would but even if it did , whilst not ideal, we’d still be able to do the groundwork. The money will have been loaned and the work planned. If we went up and came back down, we’d be ready to build a new squad and go again.

I was semi joking really, it just struck me that it was a possibility given the time scales outlined

But if we do make it up, Pompey, Derby and Oxford all survived this year so no reason we can't. And we know as long as we've still got Dave, we'd probably make the play offs!!

How long would it take to build a new railway end for example ? I know they get things built quickly but surely it takes longer than a pre-season?

Notts County built four Stands in eleven weeks, so I was told.

I'm guessing that they'll start building behind the existing Railway end first.

I think they’ll expand the Main Stand and put a new roof on it first. That’ll increase capacity a bit so they can crack on with the RE.
