Window Cleaner Posted 17 October, 2012 Posted 17 October, 2012 Had all the concrete cancelled this morning until further notice,was told it will definatley happen but dont know when due to ongoing dispute between the club and the main contractor. My my, what a surprise.
The Kraken Posted 17 October, 2012 Posted 17 October, 2012 Is it a dispute about the specifics of the specification? Or something specifically different?
bjk Posted 17 October, 2012 Posted 17 October, 2012 Is it a dispute about the specifics of the specification? Or something specifically different? Dont know but they said its something to do with money owed by the club.
hypochondriac Posted 17 October, 2012 Posted 17 October, 2012 Dont know but they said its something to do with money owed by the club. Looks like those who had been shouted down by some may have been right after all...
Gemmel Posted 1 November, 2012 Posted 1 November, 2012 Any news on this? Someone told me work started again last week - Does anyone know if this is true
trousers Posted 1 November, 2012 Posted 1 November, 2012 Any news on this? Someone told me work started again last week - Does anyone know if this is true The person who told you per chance? (sorry, couldn't resist...)
Gemmel Posted 1 November, 2012 Posted 1 November, 2012 The person who told you per chance? (sorry, couldn't resist...) Very good trousers..... the guy that told me works for the club, but would just like to hear it from one of the contractors or people who know the contractors.
bjk Posted 1 November, 2012 Posted 1 November, 2012 Yes i can confirm its started again,my company has been supplying concrete there all week.
trousers Posted 1 November, 2012 Posted 1 November, 2012 Yes i can confirm its started again,my company has been supplying concrete there all week. Sounds like a concrete source to me....
trousers Posted 1 November, 2012 Posted 1 November, 2012 I think there's mortar this than we realise....
trousers Posted 1 November, 2012 Posted 1 November, 2012 Was there ever any foundation to this rumour...?

Dan Posted 1 November, 2012 Posted 1 November, 2012 From what Ive heard Cortese is still refusing to sign the overall contract, is determined to have the architect removed and keeps adding to the specifications. An initial contract was signed up to £1.5 million, Leadbitter have currently spent around 1.2 but wont put any more into it until Cortese signs on the dotted line. If its not done soon, Leadbitter will be walking away from the job...

He did similar at SMS for some refurb stuff in the summer, although that was small-scale so didn't take long to resolve.

If he changed the goal posts at St Mary's he should have made our goal smaller than the opposition's.

the stain Posted 2 November, 2012 Posted 2 November, 2012 If he changed the goal posts at St Mary's he should have made our goal smaller than the opposition's. And try to get the old "changing ends" at half time rule scrapped?
Dark Munster Posted 2 November, 2012 Posted 2 November, 2012 If he changed the goal posts at St Mary's he should have made our goal smaller than the opposition's. He thought about it. But then realised that we wouldn't get an advantage because after 45 minutes we'd have to change ends.

Most contracts allow the client to hold back monies for work done if thet are deemed to have not met the specification. /this looks like a normal construction dispute to me if not resolved the dispute clause probably calls for adjudication or arbtiration before court proceedings!

No no no no Its because we have no money, Cortese is the devil and probably has a lot to do with Reeds meddling or Adkins tactics

I suspect that Leadbitter are acting on a letter of intent with a maximum value of £1.5m. When that amount is nearing the amount of works completed on site, the contract really needs to be executed or they will just leave site. It's quite common practice, but most Employers don't c*ck around with contracts when they need to be signed.

Saint86 Posted 2 November, 2012 Posted 2 November, 2012 Just sounds like a load of faffing change control to be honest. People need to stop making an mountain out of a molehill.
Frank's cousin Posted 2 November, 2012 Posted 2 November, 2012 Just sounds like a load of faffing change control to be honest. People need to stop making an mountain out of a molehill. Never going to happen whilst some see it as an opportunity to undermine (or support) the current leadership.....
Window Cleaner Posted 2 November, 2012 Posted 2 November, 2012 J People need to stop making an mountain out of a molehill. Well Leadbitters obviously won't do it unless they get paid in advance :lol:

Lets B Avenue Posted 2 November, 2012 Posted 2 November, 2012 nc does`t like fans What have I told you about using the computer, after being in the pub?
Saint Martini Posted 2 November, 2012 Posted 2 November, 2012 If there was a fan on the board, none of this would have happened. We don't even know what "this" was caused by so how do you know it wouldn't have happened with a fan on the board.
miserableoldgit Posted 2 November, 2012 Posted 2 November, 2012 No no no no Its because we have no money, Cortese is the devil and probably has a lot to do with Reeds meddling or Adkins tactics Don`t forget Gulys part in this!
Special K Posted 2 November, 2012 Posted 2 November, 2012 I presume this means Leadbitter wont have been paid then? No mate, they will probably have been paid, but there is a limit on the amount of work they can carry out. Of course they could chose to do more, but then NC wouldn't be obliged to pay anything over the amount stated in the LOI! But the longer it takes for the contract to be signed, the more uncertainty there is that Leadbitter will hang around waiting for the green light to carry on what they have started. It seems strange that NC would question the contractual arrangements at this late stage. Generally speaking they are all sorted prior to starting on site, especially concerning something as fundemental as the appointment of an Architect. Usually the time gained by issuing an LOI is used to sort out minor issues and compile the documents, which can take a little bit of time. But of course any questions raised about Staplewood will be interpreted by the Corteserati as being anti-saints, anti-NC, etc, etc, so apologies in advance to all the monkey-spankers who think this post has an agenda.
Pedro Posted 2 November, 2012 Posted 2 November, 2012 Wonder if Leadbitters have paid for their corporate box.
