Why the QPR Stadium Will NOT Be Ready In Time!

[@ashley_neal]

Top class as always Daniel! The video is close to my heart in so many ways but you nailed it. Most only see the glamour and the wages at the top clubs but don't get the realism of running the clubs below the Premiership. Lovely insight 👊

[@Kitchevo]

I understand fully the trials which you face Daniel and appreciate the transparency with which you talk. However I’m sick to death of all these suppliers telling you one thing and then not admitting they can’t fulfil what they promise until in some cases 24 hours before they are due to start! To me this is ridiculous. They should own up from the start and say I’m sorry it’s not possible, at least then the work can be postponed and doesn’t leave your company in the lurch! As ever massive respect to team Ashville

[@alexhart4763]

Yes, like why did the company supplying the vanity unit take payment to only be told much much later its out of stock? Just let them know asap so alternatives can be sourced

[@strut06]

@@samfuel The vanity unit situation sounds like it was avaliable, they took the order and payment, but someone or something messed up. Something doesn't become 'out of stock' after its been paid for unless there's a screw up on the supplier's end.

[@HugoDenbyMann]

The suppliers want your cash (they won't ever turn away work) - that helps their cashflow etc, and as to the actual delivery - well their attitude seems to be "we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Same in the IT industry which is also facing huge shortages. Not right, but capitalism and human greed make it what it is. :(

[@kokobwild2413]

They probably took the money assuming they could fill the order with ease but fell foul of the same supply chain issues and staff shortages that every company is throughout the industry due to the shitshow that is brexit. They took the money assuming they could supply the toilets etc on time in the same good faith that qpr took money for the safe standing tickets in good faith that they'd be ready in time. Don't blame the suppliers or the contractors....they're all facing the same issues as QPR

[@lankey16]

Brutal delays for you and team Daniel. Brave to put it out there as well. Fingers crossed you can get the materials soon.

[@adamflohr5166]

We are all experiencing the same issues with supply chains it is in every industry at the moment. The company I work for manufactures hydraulic valves and manifolds the current lead time for our products is about 3-5 months that is with us working 24/7 but the problem is this has a knock on effect because we are having problems so do our customers and there customers. Because we are all in the same situation we are working closely with our customers to manufacture products the can actually uses. The last thing we want to be working on is products that are just going to sit in a warehouse for months on end when we have some customers with equipment sitting in carparks waiting for one of our products. we had this situation a few weeks ago where there is 40 scissor lift siting in the car park waiting for one of our manifolds that we could not supple because we need to make a specific valve that we was making for another customer that was just storing in there warehouse. The problem was we was prioritising based on first come first serve and not on need but this is how every business operates and it has been working well because there was no massive distribution to global supply chains that cause loads of company's to cancel orders and then have to re place these order only to be told they are now back of the queue.

I have to say we'll done and thank you for the briefing. Truly sad about supply issues but thing at the R's always seem to hiccup before prowess ensues. Part of loving the club for me is that financial tightrope we walk and the willingness around to get the job done and the pulling together and thinking outside the box It will be awesome complete without doubt I remember us winning a trophy one season for best bogs couldn't win a plastic cup on pitch that year 😀 Well done and good luck with all you do CoYR's

Especially when u have 100s of seats unavailable for a game that’s serious revenue 5% of machday revenue.. This should be a wake up call for U.K. MANUFACTURING, start to make these as every stadium in U.K. will be fitting these soon and as we know that market is massive so guaranteed revenue.

Why were the seating rails not just ordered to be manufactured by a metal company? This is where I work at in the Netherlands. Feel free to reach out to me for projects like this. We can run estimates and have most projects delivered within 1-2 weeks. Only specialty materials will take longer, but we always have typical 304-rvs on hand.

I totally agree with a lot of your subscribers in saying that you and your video team turn out proper content that would be the envy of many videographers, I no a lot of people have also asked about if it’s possible to have a little run down of your office staff and drivers and where they are in the Ashfield hierarchy ??. Unlike that fantastic man Mr O’donoven your more than welcome to come over to SE London and be most welcome, and deliver what you will 😂😂 as good as your company is Daniel it would be prudent of you to grab hold of both Mr O Donaven hands and ask him to evaluate your site and offer his overwhelming experience ?????
