I dont think anyone ever said nothings happening since the balance of power changed from the parasite to SH.

This was from Greens on Screen reference the Cladding failure. The question was put to them why were they claiming in their photographs that it "wouldnt be long until the cladding arrives" and were they aware of the company having gone bust. Email response below was from the 13th May

"I am fully aware Carl, more so than you might think. Argyle's only contract in this respect, as I understand it, is with GL events. It is their problem and their responsibility to resolve within acceptable timescales.

Oh, and I have never at any time claimed to "know all things Argyle". In this respect, I wonder how you do? "

(lol he didnt for utter certainty but he does now)

That's Greensonscreen shuddering in their boots...

... and who is Carl I wonder?

Just hope he's not flying anywhere anytime soon. Watch yourself at the airports Carl!!!

FFS! Punchy, there are only two views in Argo land, North Pole and South Pole. like all the people clamouring for us to spend, spend spend and go bust.

Its all happening a lot quicker then it would have with Brent.
Yeah its not ideal but it looks alright tbh.

Think I’ll wait for a bit before I start blowing smoke up halletts arse...let’s see if they get it right on the pitch first hey

More nothingness...

Absolutely deserted all 3 cams at 11.30am so slow. All well and good Newell having a countdown clock but it started in February 2018 as per GOS files not August 2018 with the spurious contract signing.
Close to being into the 17th month after commencement.

6 months.....3 sides. 17 months and not even halfway there on 1 side. Cladding replacement being sought.  This will take 2 years all up and likely longer much longer in fact

It's not even like it's worth the wait.  2/3 length stand with a tiny roof.  Very 4th division.

de generation of the stand is going to look so crap when finished that i wager inside 20 years along with the stands it will be rebuilt to be fit for purpose. the other 3 stands are starting to look old now and seeing as maintenance is a dirty word they are ageing faster than usual.

Would have been nice if they could have replaced all the seating in the horseshoe than overall the place would have looked half decent when the grandstand is finally completed
The Farm are speculating on whats occuring on Devonport corner where Bungos Tardis currently sits. I cant find the link but I know Bungo stated it would be relocated about 6 months ago but he never said where but hopefully out of sight
I just cant see Pa Hallett just leaving it as it is Tardis or not

The horseshoe is rotting away nicely and putting new seats in would be wasteful.  I'd rather see it all redeveloped in the future, starting with a new expanded stand in the Demport, only with a wealthy enough owner who won't raid the playing budget to do so though.

Its disgusting that they arent even 20 years old and parts of the stands look rotten. The bricks being a good example how general maintenance is never done i dont think its going to change once the de generation stand is re opened.

Maintenance is a concept our previous owner clearly ignores. His few remaining hotels are suffering from the same lack of attention.

I do like the offset Mayflower terrace now the concrete bases are in situ. That will look very decent upon completion I reckon.
I found the Bungo statement over the Tardis on the official site but it doesnt say anything other than what I said previously in that its moving somewhere else at some point

Filling in the corners alone will obviously never happen. Knocking down the Demport and filling in that corner would seem the next logical step if we're ever to increase capacity, incorporate the tardis into that.

GL Events have been told to take the "hit" themselves over the cladding fiasco as it appears they sub contracted the work out maybe normal practice for them.
New contractor expected on site 7th June or earlier

The amateur shite is still going on under Hallett.

Temporary changing rooms were being removed today apparently according to the farm

Strange choice of colour in cream for the seats so far installed on GOS photos

Think we got the only set of builders in the world who wont work when its raining. Not a soul in sight on all 3 cams.

Do not like the drainage system, with a big  pipe that size will let a lot of water into the park. (Picture 66) and why is it needed to water seal the first 3 rows of the Mayflower seats after all these years. Is the roof not big enough.

Errington saying club didn't go with cantilever as wanted the Leitch feel of pillars. Has he any journalistic pride?

So this will still flow off and end up at Barn Park pooling at the bottom by the road ??
