Possibly 2017 or 2018 is the date Tony thinks we'll be in the new stadium

Sorry if this was already posted.

Much sooner than I expected. I'd still expect to miss that timeframe by at least 3-4 years though.

I think the projected time frame is about right. I wouldn't think there'll be too many planning objections, especially as it's pretty much a derelict site and has strong financial and political support.

We'll see. It's certainly ambitious.

Would be surprised if its done before 2020, Westfield took 5 years to build

After the legal and money wrangles were dealt with, the Emirates was begun July 2003 and opened July 2006. Ours will be a lot easier than what happened with Arsenal.

It's part of an area regeneration scheme so it should move along nicely.

Well, maybe. I think being part of a big scheme can be good and bad. If the rest of the development goes along smoothly then all well and good but if there are problems then it can affect everything. For example, even if the stadium can be completed quickly, we may not be able to use it if the transport links aren't completed, or there is still major construction going on around. Hence references to the "infrastructure requirements" in the announcement.

More importantly how many Tune hotels can you build on the site?

Ya think! Worked on many Multi million pound construction projects then?

You have no idea what challenges lie ahead.

The site investigation alone could push the completion date back a year.

You only have to take a look at the training ground delays to put the whole thing into perspective

Worked on the Wembley stadium project actually......

Anyway, as I said, the Emirates took around three years to build once they got going. That's a fact.

What a great example, Wembley Stadium was £400 million over budget and suffered eight years worth of delays dicky boy

We can all dig out a great example, which the emirates was (I actually worked on that project) but then there are other not so great examples…..know what i mean!!!
