No construction company has been engaged yet. Once the architects have been confirmed and upon completion of their working drawings only then will it go out to tender, however some preliminary discussions may have taken place but these at best would be at a very early stage.

I hate to be all doom and gloom, but I find it hard to believe that firstly, a financial backer has been found and also that the club would decide to keep this "hush, hush" as such news could only be positive. No-one in their right mind would keep such news quiet.
Perhaps "tentative talks" with a financial backer would be more plausable.

I work with large consultancy who design roads and infrastructure.

You would assume that the infrastructure section of the development would be going out to tender for design? I havnt heard anything on this. Or has this already been designed?

Di knows something. Or she's just a little winker.
:lol:

Hope it's true. Waiting till August until we get some sort of news is going to be a pain in the arse.

It would also enable us to have a big massive boost ahead of the franchises and give the RFL that extra nudge.

I'd be very surprised if there was a mystery backer, the last i heard Waystone were going to stump up the money the Council can't afford to put into it.

Someone did say that the blockwork was being ordered, but someone else who should also know said that he hadn't seen any paperwork for any blockwork for the new stadium just yet.

I am led to believe the original post is correct and things are starting to look up on the stadium front

If thats the case why don't the club announce they have a backer and quickly, they don't have to 'name names' at this stage or disclose financial information, just a short statement would suffice !

One thing which worrys me is that Wake have just sold there ground to Carla homes for a sum of 7.5 million i wonder if they are the backer or does it mean the councel have agreed for both clubs to have funding for 2 new stadium.

Because they never tell us anything unless we put pressure on them, then they only tell us what they want us to know.
