And so it continues... North Stand Triquel.

Quote: phil webbo "I wasn't intending to comment, but just to clarify which I can do as I am on the project management board.

The target date after we received confirmation of the ERDF was 29th July, and at the last project board meeting that was still the date, that however is now not the case for the 'Official opening' as there will be delays in the fitout of the hospitality suits and the catering facilities in the west section of currently between 2/3 weeks, this is to ensure that it is done to the highest standard and not a rush job.

The building works are set to be completed on time and the plan is to have the stand, less the corporate facilities open for the Hull game.
The full facilities will be in use for the world cup.

All the nonsense spouted about deferals for next years capital budget is exactly that 'nonsense'
anyone that knows anything about local Government finance knows that it's the revenue that is budgeted anually, once we have receive the level of revenue settlement grant from Central Government (this year 21st Dec 2012) for 2013/14.

the capital fund is a carry over from year to year, and when it's gone, it's gone, we do an annual revue of capital (there is no financial year end date) and departments can put in wish lists, which cabinet grade on a needs basis ie-bridge repairs and road repairs even stadia, and they move up the list if we generate more capital, usually by sale of assets or prudential borrowing which can't be used to prop up revenue budgets ie social services or wages or even waste management.

Hope this clears things up, any questions just PM me.'"
