Re: Still stuck in the mud! - Development updates
Along with all the other good news there's a break in the weather and Crane's back up on the roof (cue song)
They also seem to be filling in the roadside façade of the second floor bar/diner for the 'posh seats brigade'.
Could we have a roof on for the Munster game?

A good news day today, but still the boring gripes go on and on and on. Give it a rest.
Re: Still stuck in the mud! - Development updates
More progress on the external roadside façade and it looks as if the steelwork for the roof is about complete. We could have some dry seats for the Munster game (pointy end)

Is that part of his contract? That must put him ahead of Fonua and Pearce in the pecking order.Noggs wrote:Along with all the other good news there's a break in the weather and Crane's back up on the roof (cue song)

So completion for the play-offs may indeed be possible!dunks43 wrote:Drove by today...

Or at least start of next season?
PS It does often snow and freeze in winter. Would such "unforseen circumstances" delay things?

Smile they said - it could be worse.
So I smiled - and yes it got worse!

No great rush for the Munster Game then. Or even the New Year - just one small step at a time. Easter for the roof? Start of next season for the full Monty?

Re: Still stuck in the mud! - Development updates
Safety netting put under the roof, which indicates that roofers will be on site next week

Re: Still stuck in the mud! - Development updates
For those who do not get to the ground, other than on match days, when I walked along Aylestone Road the other day, the green fascia of the stand part was almost complete, as was the silver(?) framing of the long window. The view of the other side of Aylestone Road on the Cam, is THROUGH that window.
Time for another gallery of photographs I think!

Re: Still stuck in the mud! - Development updates
Weather permitting they should get a lot of the stand roof finished next week so at least some of our Munster friends should be siting in the dry. I also suspect they will press on with the wall cladding at the southern end of the building to try to complete the main encasement.
Not sure how the ground floor facilities are progressing but it's just possible that some of these will be in use.

Re: Still stuck in the mud! - Development updates
Serious question - is it better to buy tickets in this stand or at the A&L at the other end? I know the prices are the same but I'm thinking here about the state of play of the Stand development and also the Facilities (Bars, Toilets), the View etc?
