    I really feel for Olly when he has to write that stuff. "The pitch, which Charlton may never win on again as it drowns in the tears of broken hearted supporters, is now luscious and green!"

    Can't they set up a live stream for us to watch it grow? It would be more exciting than waiting for a new manager

    So the sun is out and the players are away. Ideal time for some building I'd say.

    Is there any building work going on?

    Has the next phase began?

    @Swisdom? Anyone?

    Quiet from our perspective but then again it would be at tender stage.

    So what you're saying is that despite the close season from the middle of May onwards, the highly specialist Construction Consultants have programmed the major part of June for the tender stage?

    So July will be the tender analysis and award. Contract signing and sealing followed by mobilisation of the main Contractor and where necessary any sub contractors.

    That should see a start on site the first week of the new season - assuming the funding is in place.

    Are these sort of organisational skills a Belgian trait?

    Lol. Good one.

    They must be waiting for a quieter period when there are less people kicking around the place to schedule the bulk of the works then. Perhaps when the weather is likely to be better. Maybe December.

    From that photo it looks like the club have finally taken the netting down.

    Only while the brickies are building the 20 ft high wall.

    But don't worry. It's been carefully designed so you can still see the match.

    Wouldn't all tenders and contractors been sorted well in advance so as to allow a smooth transition from one stage to the next and so not waste valuable time between stages?

    Or is Tony Cahones just as inept as a project manager as he is as a COO?

    Maybe the contractors are taking advantage of his inexperience?

    After reading various rumours a spokesman for the club Tony Southstand a former kiosk attendant for high end caterers Tupperware south said today, while there was a delay in building works after a board level decision to not wait for the August bank holiday sale at Wickes, himself and KM did a big shop at the store spending over £70, the club released pictures so it must be true.imageimageimageimage

    This.

    It's inconceivable that this project doesn't have a main contractor who will have set out a schedule of works for themselves and sub contractors that ensures that there is a smooth transition between phases of works ensuring that time and money are not wasted having men or plant sitting around or the necessity of moving plant on and off site.

    There will have been penalties written into contracts to ensure all of the above happens.

    A completely new level of incompetence could also be the reason feck all is happening. That or there is another reason we're not being told about but that's surely not possible.

    Fans Forum minutes extract

    8. Sparrows Lane
    CL: Are there any updates?

    KM: We are finishing phase 1, the water reservoir delayed it a bit. We are behind schedule, but
    phase 2 will be starting soon, which is the community part. We are being audited for category 2, but
    once complete, may be able to buy an extra audit outside of the usual auditing window to assess for
    category 1.     The criteria for category 1 keeps changing. Expected to finish work towards end of 2018.

    So the project was due to be completed in 2016 according Emmaus but is now TWO YEARS late!

    EDIT and it only started in 2014 so how much of a delay can there have been in two years to make it two years late?

    Love how KM casually states "we're behind schedule" too!
    It's like they're waiting to pay the training ground off with the new ticketing fees!
