Parramatta Stadium Rebuild and other stuff

I never said he was a mate ffs. He was some pretty boy who worked for STOWE. We chatted for 5mins.

Must if been one of those blokes walking around doing nothing.

 

[hineyrulz]

Sounds like a rort to me. All the hallmarks of going over budget. I can't help feeling that short-cuts are being taken as well.

Its only a rort if your not involved.

Mate there's over 75 days until kickoff. Do you not think trades will not be allowed to finish their work after 20 days ?
Sure some parts of the stadium will be handed over for testing in 20 days but there will be ongoing work until the last week

There are different section where trades are working, corporate facilities, outer concourse sections, field, outside stadium and not all are privy to what is going on in other section. I was talking to some site foremen on site and know many working in there that mention what is happening daily. Do I believe it will be ready? YES.
But only because the huge fines they stand to be issued if not completed on time, hence the 24hr work. Things just don’t come together in a few weeks. They require clearances, sign offs, testing etc...

I was chatting to my neighbour this morning who is quite high up at Stowe and he said that they’re on schedule for a March handover and they have actually reduced staff onsite.

Are you and Hindy11136900832111 the same person? Both referenced

Testing pfft. Turn the power on and see if it works.
Its nothing that technical compared to a production site with a million wires and sensors. A few data cables, some lights and speakers. Check if the dunnies flush and sprinklers work. Shouldn't take more then a day.

A couple of switches isn’t how it works, tongue and cheek by you I know( well I hope), but Fire and evacuation, intercom procedures and tests, every seat , door ceiling, floor etc gets checked and signed off.
We are not talking about a domestic dwelling.
Patron/spectator safety is paramount and they don’t want any law suits or claims.
People go looking for a quick buck.
No doubt they will be testing all facilities including catering prior to open day for workers and staff.
You don’t go in blind on opening game day and hope for the best.

I think he got the contract for the lighting at The Gabba.

They could send out stadium food samples to LU members for testing.

Haha. No mate. I was actually sceptical when Hindy said they’d be on schedule so I’d thought I’d ask. He reckons it should be fine for an April launch. You don’t have to believe me, just passing on what I was told. He’s legit high up at Stowe. Slight chance he might be able to accomodate me up in the toff’s section at the new stadium at some stage this year

And Drummoyne Oval last night.

Don't forget the Wanderers flares test on whether the stadium catches alight, and knowing that suffocating smoke would quickly dissipate

 

[Gronk]

Your move Bankwest Stadium caterers.

 

[Eelogical]

I can't see that happening, Gronk. A lobster would be more expensive than a family pass. Imagine walking up to the nose-bleed seats with one of those in your hand. However, it will be interesting to see if the food on offer at the stadium will be of a higher quality than some of the crap they served up beforehand.

No I don’t expect lobster at Bankwest. I do expect good food at reasonable prices.

Btw you can buy a lobster roll from food trucks in the states for $US14. Our lobsters must be wagu quality here to justify AU extortive prices.

I'd assume most punters would fill up first in Eat St before heading to Bankwest if they prices are exorbitant.I don't know how much a day at the footy will end up costing but it could easily become very expensive depending on your transport, seats, food and drinking options. For me, I'd catch the train, eat before the game, expect reasonable seats in the sideline stands and possibly buy a couple of beers during the game.

I hope they have momos at the stadium.
