TrentFox Posted 3 September 2020 Share Posted 3 September 2020 Went past jt today. Lots of cones everywhere. One man throwing quizzical looks at a lamppost. It would be a stretch to say ‘work had started’ 🤣 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoxFossil Posted 3 September 2020 Share Posted 3 September 2020 Council job. Needs at least three people giving quizzical looks before any workmen can start. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesilverfox Posted 6 September 2020 Share Posted 6 September 2020 Not sure how much truth there is in this, but I heard yesterday from somebody who’s done work at seagrave that the training pitches have flooded, the owners have gone mad and Maclaren are now flapping and in the brown and smelly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly it does but equally I’d rather they get it right than rush it and have loads of snags. The water feature is going to look sensational once it’s done though.

Babylon Posted 9 September 2020 Share Posted 9 September 2020 Making sure the pitches are properly drained and not going to flood is such a basic thing, I can't believe for a moment they've all flooded. One area unexpectedly near something that's not finished yet, maybe. Entire pitches... no. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted 9 September 2020 Share Posted 9 September 2020 The official work deadline for completion I understand is/was 13th September which they (construction companies) had been pushing and aiming for. Following rains and COVID etc it was always going to be set back a fair bit though I was told that we'll likely be training/moving in some time in October (the person thought) though it won't be absolutely finished.

TWUKO Posted 9 September 2020 Share Posted 9 September 2020 Its come along a bit more, some tarmacing has been done, water feature has started being built. A lot more paving needed by the look of it. I suspect it won't be done until the end of october at the earliest, possibly nearer christmas time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moore_94 Posted 9 September 2020 Share Posted 9 September 2020 Next International games are 8th October - 14th October (3 games) 15th November - 18th November (2 games) With players being away I imagine if it gets completed in time either of these would be the most suitable periods to move in 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
