It makes you wonder where these people are coming from. Bit like an episode of Twin Peaks really.
You’re really not the brightest are you?
The delay now means the stand won’t be ready for the start of next season. I could go through some of the factors that this creates issues with, but I’m not sure you’d grasp it.
Grumps, it was never the plan to be ready for the start of the 2019/20 season. The plan was to be ready in time for the 2020 celebrations.
If anything, this is earlier than expected as most people were talking about an October finish date.
Sorry Mike, but it was planned to be ready for 2019/20. (See article below from Feb) The delays have now pushed it back with October now being the new target.

Apologies to Kentish and 'Don't Panic' (lol) for dealing in facts, once more.
Apologies for dealing in facts Grumps, but the completion date is 30th August 2019, not October.

Also, the article you quoted is very woolly about dates by saying 'open for the 2019/20 season'. Not saying 'the start of' is journalese for "we don't know the exact date".
I know you will argue the toss with me over the semantics of this, buy tis true.
