For "construction of a stadium", are you sure? I'm fairly sure they haven't in the time since the planning inspectorate gave the OK (and you wouldn't tender before that).'"
Yes I am. Have a look around.

You're the one trying to prove a point, you look around and present the evidence.

That would be the expression of interest, not the actual bid return.

| Tenders were put out previously, but when a new company involving the council was set up, NEW tenders had to be put out, as with any council work in whatever capacity.

I wasn't trying to prove any point. You made the statement that tenders would not go out for a pipe dream as I descrived this fiasco.
Tenders were sent out for the previous stadium which did not materialise. That's not proving a point, it's questioning your assertion that this is not a pipe dream.

You're right, it's a pipe dream, it's a fiasco, the whole club's a fiasco.
Well done, now run along.

Quote Scanners="Chambers Dictionary"pipe dream noun a delightful fantasy of the kind indulged in while smoking a pipe, originally one filled with opium. pipe-dreamer noun.
ETYMOLOGY: Late 19c.'"
Lot's of money has been/is being spent on a delightful fantasy that won't happen. Remember Blackpool and their drawings of floating stadium? Pipe dream. You can't really compare that with a project with years of work, several planning applications, public inquiry, consent, formation of joint venture company, council chamber agreement, and tenders for the work.
For what it's worth. Whilst I applaud the club trying to improve crowds, I think that the original release on this "stadium building party" showed that the club still haven't learned the lessons from previous false dawns. As much as I am very confident that a stadium will rise on the Barton site, unless someone is 100% sure that work will be starting on site in the next two weeks, then they shouldn't be shouting about it.

At least you have acknowledged the many false dawns and the way in which the club is treating the fans as stupid. The Salford club cannot make any announcements because it is not a contributor to the scheme. Only when those putting the money in make an announcement can anything be taken as credible.

I've met some pillocks in my time ............ however, I've yet to meet this one.
What on earth do people such as you glean from this sort of approach  I'll have a [i'pound to a pinch of salt' [/ithat you love talking politics in the pub, and bore the ass of everyone around you whilst doing so.
If the stadium does go ahead then fine, if not, just how elated will you be
Perhaps you should focus all your energies on something more productive.
Chill
