Oh and the entry looks like it was done by knighthood themselves

Someone mentioned these comparisons before somewhere. But I think Barbour just conglomerates information on projects and who are working on them. The initial project would have been created from the press releases from them so Barbour's customers see it is there and are aware of a project if they want to enquire. The further details are then either released by the project owner, released by the contractor(s) hired or from publicly available records researched like planning permission.

For an actual comparison, maybe look at the Manure rebuild. First anyone knew of those was the press conference so date of entry on Barbour might be that date*. However they do at least have an architect added as per the press conference so that would be interesting to confirm as is listed as well.

*If the date of entry is even earlier then the press conference, that will be even worse for Blues.

I think we need a couple of bags of Evergreen 4 in 1 lawn feed.

We played on far worse than that throughout a lot of the 80s and 90s.

Probably still get told you're not allowed on the pitch when you do the tour.

We have 6 projects currently live on Barbour ABI web site to the tune of £131M for both stadium and training ground improvements. Architects are appointed, contractors awarded and in some cases works (like The Warehouse etc) have begun.

Meanwhile the mega sport quarter with 60K seater stadium (Named the Bordsley Park Sports Quarter) down the road has this single listing:

"The scheme has also been referred to as The Wembley of the Midlands. As of 14.01.2025 a planning application has yet to be submitted. Tunnel scheme are compelling and need to be seriously considered".

The only entry was back in April.

Talk is cheap but the mugs i speak to are still falling for it.

Our guys are just quietly going about their business of improving everything they can.

Got a link Hookey?

I have sent you a message

Green sand Holte End penalty box 1991. Les Sealey swearing like a trooper and poppers in your pockets. Anything could happen.
