I wouldn't be too sure. It doesn't take long to fit out an empty shell.

 

[Crouchy]

Think the lad is getting a bit carried away.

Shop refits are like Ikea on steroids.

They just throw up cheap shite in no time at all. Fair to say, 6th August is easily attainable.

 

[Five&Six]

It will defo be open

 

[Laudrups Barnet 55]

Shop fitters can get a lot done in 10 days or so mate. I’d expect it to be open on time.

 

[Subway Bear]

Seen it many times, building site to fully stocked, operational store in matter of days. 6th August easy target.

 

[Super A]

It could be fitted out in a day ffs

 

[Gazza 8]

They could easily have new flooring layed and the place fully decorated in a couple of days.. Then it's a case of filling it with stock.

Id say its on track.

Not with an attitude like yours.

 

[CaptainCourageous]

6th August is over 10 days away FFS.

 

[Eddie Doc]

Is it just me or are the pillars at mad angles? They will have that open for the 6th no problem.

 

[Alvor]

Easily done

 

[rez1872]

Worked in shopfitting for years and my dad had his own company.

Empty shell like that will take no more than 7 days.

 

[greggakd]

im a fitter, so can tell you by experience. its easily achievable

 

[lcpl_1st_bt_1872]

thread full or decorators haha i have no idea how long it takes to do and going by the pictures i didnt think it would be ready in time. Glad to hear it will be though.

 

[Dalmuirbear]

Any opportunity to be negative is taken.

 

[ClubDeck4JH]

China built a hospital in a week.

It will be mate, make sure your wallet is full when you enter it.

 

[RenfrewBear72]

They can kit a shop out in days now, only need to look at the flat pack KFCs and McDs that are thrown up in a week or 2.

 

[TN8]

Any opportunity to be negative is taken.

F*ck sake Stewart Robertson!!! Out of his fucking depth

 

[Valley Bluenose]

Prep work is what takes the longest and a lot of that has been done. The actual refit should be fine on that timescale.

I'm more surprised the Fat C*nt let us in before 1 Aug.

 

[Peachy Catboy]

Is it not all manufactured off site then fitted?! Plenty bodies and that will be open no bother.

 

[Godrup99]

Nothing structural required, this is a fit out with all electrics and plumbing in situ. A lot of stuff will be ready to place, could be done in 7 days let alone 10.

 

[Onslow52]

Plenty of time to fit and finish.

 

[cm72]

Bet the OP takes about a month to paint the spare room

 

[sofakineazy]

They've ripped out the carpet but it's Incredible changes.

 

[The Underfaker]

People can work night shifts you know...

John Eustace the fitter?

 

[Rathcoole Ranger]

Can't wait to get in there and buy loads of staunch bears gear, WATP

Wanna bet?

 

[lcpl_1st_bt_1872]

Wanna bet?

No thanks ive already been made well aware it will be ready.

 

[Alan Johnson]

Just like a match thread this.

You haven't seen a shop being put together before have you

 

[lcpl_1st_bt_1872]

No.

 

[Growler]

You need to watch a show called 60 Minute Makeover.

 

[M@x]

John Eustace the fitter?

This would have worked if you had said Jordan Rossiter

 

[kingstonbear]

These types of threads always take me back to a day at work where I’m busy telling my boss that we are ready but no way that the customer would be as there was no carpet never mind desks. Walked out to get a better mobile signal and they had 3/4 of the carpet down and almost half the desks in situ. I’d been in the commas room for no more than 3 hours.

As has been said these guys don’t hang about.

 

[cm72]

Not many would have to be fair mate lol

 

[Sticky Fingers]

Good shopfitting mob with a squad of 10 guys would rattle that in 5 days, easy peasy. Plus the club would be firing the maintenance boys in when they are required or get the facilities company out to sort the electrics etc.

they must have been doing stuff on the qt because it looks as though %^*& all has been done for weeks. And I work pretty close to the stadium and haven’t seen too much movement, but to be fair I know they battered in and cleared the place pretty quick.
As long as there is progress and a new shop to open for the fans to go to on match days, we can’t really grumble at that.

 

[TavsRightFoot]

The club are pig sick of photos leaking of all projects being undertaken. Every firm ate warned and it still is breached. It’s going to take NDA’s to stop it.

 

[Davieblue1977]

Itll be ready

 

[bobba]

fairly cathartic to see that cleansed of the old sd tat

 

[Amstel]

That will be worked on round the clock by different tradesmen. Easily achieved by the opening date

 

[Fergie90]

I worked in argos years ago when I left school and they refitted the whole shop in about 3 days from dismantling the shithole that was there to begin with. Few days to stock it while they add the finishing touches and your sorted.

 

[Il Ciocco]

Good to see work has started, the end of a real eyesore that was an embarrassment to us all.

 

[david1982]

I said that at the time of Rangers statement on the sports direct exclusivity on the new strip.

Mid August I would say.

 

[Gerrard Express]

I work in retail. They have done the hard parts already. The actual fit out will be very quick, takes almost as long loading the stock back in. An experienced crew can do it in days. The IT changes may be a bit of a sticking point.
