PR building work 08:45 - Jul 13 with 2238 views | leftback | Hearing things that there’s ‘no chance’ building work will be completed ready for the Liverpool game and town have been advised to switch/postpone it. Anyone know how much notice they would have to give premier league?? I believe similar happened at Luton last year |  | | |  |

Not all of the ground is open for that and the TV and VAR facilities don't need to be in place so not sure the friendlies have much impact on the viability of the opener |  |

They had to completely redevelop a stand, install six new floodlights, and the five existing required high powered LEDs bulbs. I'd be very surprised if we postpone the Liverpool game. |  | |  |

Wonder if they’ve tried to cram too much in. |  |

Really surprised the club didn’t request an away game first, they were obviously confident of getting it done, but more and more people now coming out with what you initially said, doesn’t sound great. |  |

Why do we ever listen to Phil when "Mate" is always such a rich source of detailed and credible information? There may or may not be any truth in this, but Ashton and his team has earned the right to be presumed competent until there's actual evidence to the contrary. |  | |  |

But surely preparing for a fairly high profile friendly is going to take several days out of a building/ work schedule at full pace so I still reckon the fact it's going ahead is a good indication that they are confident it will be ready . |  | |  |

‘Mate’ was in the stadium texting me photos… don’t think Phil has done that. But there we go His exact words were ‘Ashton is changing things mid way through causing people more work and delays’ He’s a town fan too, so no reason to lie, he’s worried about it! [Post edited 13 Jul 2024 10:49]

Because believe it or not some people do have info on things, and we know who are reliable sources. |  |
