edmiston house

Hope its full steam ahead with this and blue sky lounge.

The club needs to give us an update on this @Greg Marshall. What has progress stalled? @David Edgar have you heard anything. I know the club need to find tge funds etc and have employer dave pyatt so not concerned however progress needs to be seen.
 
Wasn’t there something to do with having specialist work done on the main pipes leading into the building as they were all filled with concrete or something?
 
Can I get my £150 back and the £10 I spent on the champions wall which won’t happen either ??
Pretty sure the champions wall was £50.

No idea what the board are going to do with this one. Surely even Robertson amd Bisgrove don't have the redneck to build a champions wall outside Ibrox when we gifted Celtic the league.

Now renamed The Wall of Champions I think, rather The Champions Wall.
 
Bizarre you’d want to!
Did you buy it hoping for instant gratification, you have helped lay the groundwork’s of a significant and important building that will showcase our history

No he - and folk like me - paid to help build it.

In what other walk of life would you hand over £150 towards something getting done and then nothing happens for months with very little update?

FWIW I think he means if it gets scrapped completely which seems unlikely. But we’re entitled to an update officially not through Michael Seafarer.
 
Was told before heading to Seville, that there’s been design issues with the concert/dance floor and it was getting moved closer to the front.
New plans had been drawn up but for best interests, all work was ceased till GCC approved the revised warrant application.
Think we have been playing safe with the SNP lead council in charge.
 
£200 on this and the champions wall and I wonder every time I stroll by what I’ve paid for.

This thread clears Edmiston House up a bit at least.

I am assuming the champions wall never sold enough?
 
I'm hoping with the money we have made ,it will be full steam ahead to get it finished ,it's going to be a big money maker
Our prize money isnt being used for it.

We got the rest of the funding from bears in corporate, mainly because some directors have no interest in it.

The building warrant withdrawal is only for cladding and due to change in materials apparently.

Work still starts next month, as they have been planned to happen since near end of last year, with it likely finished for 2023 but if things go well could come into end of 2022.
 
I'm not one to try and be overly critical of the club but the fact they took fans hard earned money for a Champions Wall and there has been nothing done with it is pretty scandalous imo.

I didn't pay towards it but if I did I think I'd be furious. Especially since we're no longer champions ffs!

Go on...
 
I see they are now selling family packages for Edmiston House. 500 quid for a family of two adults and two children, on the wall it will read 'The Kowloon Family'.

That always been the case? Sure it was only individual at the start.

Edit: Seems like this was always the case.

It was made to be a self funded project, hence the Edminston House package then wining and dining corporate bears when the funding from the couple of directors and the Edminston House packages fell significantly short.

Its why it was agreed last year with the contractors to pause the project whilst funding was arranged and price for the remainder of project agreed

Yeah your £500 could always be used as a family name

If the planning department is anything like the council tax department then due to covid and staff working from home they’ll take ages to get a response
 
Suspect the euro run money will allow us to complete this.

We’d run out of money for it.

Alarming and embarrassing.

We were told it was going to be an active space for booking bands/work forums etc. Given these things need to be planned well in advance, how was it ever a remote possibility?
 
Be buried under the we Won the Scottish cup n got to a european final at the next AGM.... A DISGRACE AND SO IS THE CHAMPIONS WALL .. I WANT MY MONEY BACK
 
Another cluster of a mess.

Company I work for has literally built a new high school since before any groundwork relating to Edmiston House begun.
 
What is it about him folk don't like - he seems ok on twitter?
He blocked me for criticising him for tweeting a piece of total misinformation. I wasn't rude to him; just asked him to withdraw or clarify what he had tweeted.
 
The general design is agreed its a cladding change and an output from agreeing contract value.

Not unusual for a project to change materials
I wouldn’t say it’s unusual to change materials, but it is unusual to start works on site and then have such a lengthy pause.

That’s a highly inefficient way of delivering a project and will be reflected in the final contract value.

Really shouldn’t have started on site if they didn’t have all the funding in place.

I find it amazing to hear that some of our directors are not interest in this project .

Is it a vanity project for some directors ?

Surely with the profit we are going to make there is no way this project can be allowed to stop start due to money
 
Attention has rightly been focused on Seville in the last few weeks, but it absolutely shouldn’t deflect from the fact in the boardroom there are inadequates almost everywhere you look.
