By the way, following what some of the Spanish and Local people have been saying the reason for the delays are in order:
1. City being a pain in the ass to deal with when approving permits, typical bureaucracy.
2. Club being too late in applying for some of the permits and misjudging what needed to be done beforehand before applying and getting those approved.
Both of these things being the main reasons for the delays.
3. Limak having to bring in more people and obviously apply for work permits for them which also took time.
But most of them were saying that the reason there's no Limak fine of 1m per day is because the biggest reasons for the delays were things out of their control.
Limak being fined makes no sense though. The work is advancing fast, just no fast enough to keep up with the club's bullshit. Just looked at some video from september 2024, and the work being done in under a year is pretty astonishing.
Think the main problem is that, at no point so far, work at the stadium became localized. You can't say that this part is completely finished, or that part is fully done. There's parallel works everywhere and this makes fans access a complicated affair. If you look at videos online, there's workers everywhere and materials all around the joint.
Surely Limak would never have agreed with that penalty if it wasn't just for show. There was no way in hell we were gonna finish a project of this size in 3 years, don't know what the club official were smoking when they announced summer of 2026 as full completion, but it wasn't the good stuff.
