H, we've all be involved in large scale projects before? Surely the fabric of the new buildings would be in place by PQ's? At least that might tell us a few truths?
What do ya think?
Wotcher FS,
For what it's worth I think it'll be finished, simply because unlike us, the French don't mess around when it comes to construction projects - and I would bet the contractor penalty clauses are frightening. I mean, they've had years to plan this after all.
As for the poo bar, I'm afraid I cannot see the great ACO vision including building bars for grubby boozy punters (with or without gimp masks) in their new squeaky clean village. I reckon it will be all corporate with a heavy emphasis on marketing and brand awareness. No, I think they'll leave us to our own devices, hoping we'll either use the (limited number of) bars behind the grandstands, or keep out of everyones way and drink/party on the campsites.
Which raises another question...
They now seem to have succeeded in turning the circuit into one where it's not actually possible to have an involving spectating experience watching the cars, and as I speculate above, they have also removed the "Party Atmosphere" element of the event. So who the hell are they targeting as customers?? The Corporate and Agency coachloads I reckon, which would explain why there seems to be so few tickets available to the general fan.

PS I hope you're on the mend Peter, and I wish you the speediest of recoveries, after all you'll need a fully functioning immune system in place before you tackle the Merguez...
