Definitely looks like it's sneaking about in the wrong direction.

I presume they're burying the paperwork for all our summer signings that didn't work out?

Hopefully the media team are at the training ground today killing 2 birds with one stone, training ground update and a signing...

This reminds me of the jokes along the lines of "How many men does it take to change a light bulb ? etc". It hardly looks an efficient use of machinery or manpower, no wonder that the budget has escalated !

Enviro Building Solutions Ltd. are in administration as mentioned by The Chairman at The Fans Forum. Apparently they were very keen to get into Sports buildings like our new training ground and so it would seem tendered a low bid to get the work. Too low as it turned out……. Another interesting thing is Modulek were involved in the initial design and feasibility studies way back in 2013/14 but obviously cost proved decisive in the original tender and not the need to work with an experienced company who could deliver what they offered. Expensive lesson learned but at least we will get a quality proven product now.

From the very outset Enviro were a very strange and dangerous choice for a project of this size but I was assured by the Trust Chair that proper due diligence had been carried out. It was not. One hopes that we have not lost too much cash as a result of this very bad decision.
