"Work has been suspended on Charlton's £15m training ground.

Strangely enough work was taking place on the 'big trench' on Sunday when I went past.

Roland popped over to do some more digging of the hole he's in.

No no no, it's all still going to plan. We've been told it is, so that's all ok.

I blame Tony Cojones. A man who can't manage to get a reasonable number of chips into a bag is never going to cope with a building project.
He's just used the £15m set aside to complete the training ground project on buying is wife St Trinians AGAIN.....lets be honest - what's the point of a decent training ground when you have a shit team, no supporters, no income etc.
A spokesman for the building contractor "Bodget & Scarper" have released a statement saying "The media are once again stirring trouble" and building works are going ahead as soon as Wickes can get the 6 bags of Readymix delivered and Tony Southstand can find his "level" (well we all know where that is).......

So the Burger Flipper in Chief is Project Managing this complex construction project?
God help us.
No Tony is not Project Managing it. There's a specialist company doing so and they report in to Tony and the team
Love to see that month end report.
Who are this 'specialist company'? I just need to make sure they are not on our approved list as my 11 year old nephew could manage digging a few trenches better than them.
Even if you appoint external project management, someone has to take ownership of the scheme within the club's management structure. If that's not the chief operating officer, who is it?

My guess is Sue Parkes, she can keep an eye on proceedings from her bathroom window.

Perhaps thats why Mandy Double-Barrel buggered off. She couldn't cope with the expectation of selling tickets and wandering around the site in hard hat and wellies.
When I saw that thread title I was expecting a predominantly misogynistic rant at squirrel face and speculation that PMS could be contributing to her nuttiness, but no, it's bumped up cos the builders probably ain't at the training ground any more. Cue insensitive speculation about menopause..?

Trying to bury more bad news ?
Surely there has to be more than on shovel with the amount holes that are being dug.....
But seems, according to @addickted05 on twitter, a whole new pitch is being laid at the Valley.
Wasn't it stripped and reseeded a year after the new drainage, irrigation and pipes for under soil heating put in? I seem to remember someone saying that the original works included the resurfacing for the first 3 seasons.

Oh i know she's devastated my football club with her Abbott and Costello approach to management...

I know I posted that while back but i think this issue has starting happening back then... and now its coming to a head.
"raising speculation about the Belgian owner's long term commitment to the club"

But it is.
If only it was just an hour .....
Have they thrown the towel in?
The previous big outlay was more to do with the drainage & the layers below the grass.
