Not as far as I know, I did ask last time I was at CP and my answer was pretty much 'Yes it has started' whilst pointing to that end of the ground.
I belive it is a 52 week build.

I seriously doubt that is going to be possible.

Thank you. It's a bit odd that after 4 years of false starts and articles in the HDM that when work actually begins there's not a big formal announcement with Smith driving a digger and a councillor pondering a site plan in the foreground. Derby at CP with reduced capacity, then?

I wouldn't know.
I will say that if those posts I have just made are re-used OOC in the future I won't be happy.
Just saying they are best guesses from someone who has been to CP at least once a week since the build started for one thing or another and I have no 'inside track' to info.

Was at CP today and the hold up isn't down to KR it is down to the council.
They have been given permission to clear and flatten and other things but the actual building hasnt been given the green light yet and no steel has as of yet been ordered from the faricators either.
They are fitting the piling mats next week however.

I'm surprised they haven't taken an injunction out on you yet.

I'm puzzled as to why you would think the hold up is down to Rovers?

Nevertheless, the site is still working and the early stages of any build are the most frustrating - its always slow and tedious until it gets beyond the piling stage. As for no steel structuring being placed on order, its not as if there is a 3-6 month waiting time.

Well the club have as of yet said zip officially even though the build has actually been going on now for over 2 months.
A strange going on wouldn't you say?
But with that said I didn't say it was down to Rovers I was confirming it wasn't.

Who mentioned me being frustrated?
The piling mats are next week.
So the actual piling must be just around the corner so again who mentioned 3-6 month waiting time for the steel?
