I agree TPL but it's really not Marinakis and Vrentzos style. You never hear from them even in Greece especially Vrentzos. Most people don't even knows what he looks like!

Not sure what Randall's excuse is though.

Yes but we were not in a position to start constructing.  Things that needed to be done before then couldn't be done. Not easy trying to work your way through a huge process when half of the process is shut down.

What part of the process?

Completely agree, a lot of people have gone through the most difficult period of their life over the past five months and sport is a great release. The failure of the Club to communicate and engage throughout has been poor.

The media and communications side of the business seems to have forgotten what it is there for.

Or Johnny Owen? He is still listed as a director.

End of the season at the earliest. Why not do it during the season?

Health and Safety is my guess. The back of the main stand will have to be completely blocked off for access  as there will be tons of different types of demolition/construction equipment that will be left at site - cranes, generators etc, which would mean there being no access to the LB stand

The changing rooms will have to be located elsewhere, the teams will have to turn up with fans around the stadium, once fans are allowed back in the ground! Where will the temporary changing rooms go in the interim period?

The risk of contamination on the pitch also has to be considered - dropping a stand, even of the size of the main stand is still gonna churn up a ton of dust and debris.

Besides, once fans are allowed back into the ground, it would be best to keep the reduced capacity to the absolute bare minimum due to loss of revenue and more importantly, atmosphere by the Forest fans

All those issue will need to be overcome whenever they start...

All that was going to happen anyway, as not be able to do all work in close season. And that would've been with the season going on and full crowds (pre Covid).

This is the ideal time to start getting the work done.

It's a shame that someone is dragging their heels, missed opportunity.

I think it's just circumstance, not necessarily dragging of heels. The club obviously had a strategy to achieve their goals but this went out the window when Covid struck. People have purchased tickets for the stand and it's going to get complicated again with refunds etc. anyway, without having to relocate people to other stands.
