I think the first target was autumn, then October then winter now spring. We'd better get used to this as building schedules seem to be a bit elastic. Living in Leigh near a number of building sites and completed flats it's clear to me that you have to be cautious when dealing with timescales. For example the Overton site was for years empty then a car park and then empty. They started last year and the site is crawling with builders and they might I think finish on time next spring. The Grand trundles on. The latest target date is August 2023. I'm not holding my breath. The car wash site has been resold and has been levelled awaiting the foundation drill. It's taken ages since the car wash moved to London Road.
I was told that White Horse were to maintain the grass for 2 months to get the right surface (sward) and then it would be handled over. They had to build the road and the car park. The roundabout works on Fossetts Way linking Fossets Way to the training pitch road and car park is not part of White Horse's brief. I'm going on the tour prior to the Altrincham game when the grass should be growing and will report back. As a layman I'd say March at the earliest which is spring.
