Quite clearly this is a delay! Scrolling back through the "Latest Rink Update " topic, , it has been quoted time and time again that we would be playing out of our rink by next December 2014. That is obviously not going to happen is it? So, as stated, yet another delay, no matter how you try to dress it up as anything else. It seems to be one excuse after another, but as long as we get a rink we have to accept what is happening. Even Paul Ragan is unhappy about it.
The strange thing is you never really questioned things the first time it was mentioned that the rink would be completed by May 2014! Why is that?
Oh well, I am all beat up because Paul Ragan isn't happy about it, the fact remains it will be constructed and within the terms of the agreement. Greenbank hoped to complete earlier than now anticipated. I believe that if Paul Ragan had won the original tender he would have encountered the same problems that Greenbank have and everyone having a pop at him would have been seen as negative by posters on this forum and we would have had a one and half size pad rink as opposed to a Twin pad.
This forum generally encourages optimism and positivity and Greenbank may have been over optimistic, there is nothing to be gained from jumping up and down, spitting our dummies out and throwing our toys out of our prams.
However I totally agree with you about the state of the Tent and something needs to be done about that
