Seemed to be progressing well when I popped down there earlier...

According to the St Helens Reporter, A Judicial planning review lasting 12 weeks has been given as the reason why the club has not held the fans forums.
The forums were put back because the review period does not end till the 15th of March, the club does not expect any problems with the findings of the review.

I've defended the board over the stadium info levels, but a statement to that effect in the local press in Jan wouldn't have been much to ask

I was just being "realistic" with the time span, if as you say it will happen overnight, some people may end up disappointed if that is the case, four weeks was not being "negative"

Your second comment and claim, about buildings being thrown up, many of us who own new property builds know that too well, unfortunately!

You are not realistic at all. It is patently obvious, you have no knowledge of the tendering, pre-contract and final agreement of these things. This is further complicated, by the multiple client's with varied requirements and funding mechanisms.

It could also be borehole tripod for further SI works.
