Laugh out loud moment.
Which given I am listening to the cricket whilst supposedly working has not gone unnoticed by others.

If they don't already own the properties that need to be demolished, or have not come to an agreement to buy them then the plan to start work before the end of 2018 doesn't seem realistic. CPOs aren't easy to come by.
Also, I must surely be wrong, but it does look like they are planning to add around 2000 uncovered seats, many with obstructed views. Confused.

You don't need cover when you are wearing a balaclava and have you black hoodie zipped right up to the top.

Don't know why you are the least bit bothered to be honest. You've got a lovely brand new stadium, albeit flat packed and we've just got a new stand.

Flat packed? The Amex is unique as they come. You're wetting yourselves over a glass fascia on the back of our West Stand. The renders of the rest of the stadium looking all white and shiny aren't fooling anyone and only serve to try to make the new stand blend in. Which, it won't.
IF it gets built at all that is....

Funny you should say that really, flat pack best describes identical stadiums like the I-pro and Riverside, or standard bowls like St Mary’s, King Power and the lift the lid and stick it on Madejski. The Amex is a completely unique stadium that has won buckets of awards and was selected as a host stadium for the Rugby World Cup.

It's only Paddy O'Reilly and his mate doing it cash in hand.

Doubled in price overnight don't you think?
and some, esp if you can encourage a few to sell up early.

Probably dipped their fees to 10 pence in the pound so they recycled the West Stand drawings to save a bit of time to try make something out of the project. Sometimes it the only way in this industry

I wonder if each house is privately owned, it would only need one to dig their heels in.

I wouldn't be getting too excited if I were them. They haven't even submitted a planning application yet, there's no agreement with Sainsburys (in fact it sounds like this is the first they've heard of it), and CPO's are notoriously difficult to push through (just ask Spurs).
This is a CGI equivalent of plans on the back of a fag packet.

Flat packed its isnt. Genuine question 100 mill on one stand - crazy and dead money surely? Would it be better not to flatten the thing and build a whole new stadium? Ground share for 3 - 4 years if anyone will have you. And the corners need filling in it looks like even with the nice new stand a mish mash of scalextric and subbuteo accessories
Oh absolutely, still I see it as the owners have 2 choices.
1 - Assume it'll happen and hold the club to ransom.
or
B - Knock on their door this morning, deeds in hand, and say '£2m and it's yours' ('oh and you best make that in cash... well... you know why')
