There are numerous posts already on this subject, but the answer is no, there is no roof yet. Apparently there will be no work on the roof until there is a 'window in the fixtures'..... whenever that is.

Window in the fixtures?! You are joking. the next window in the fixtures starts next May. If they don't get this job finished asap it will drag on forever. We were told that the roof would hopefully be done for the Leicester match, then it was 'hopefully for the Darlington match' I'm afraid the club needs to get its act together on this one. If they need helpers to put the cladding on I'm willing to volunteer!

It's to do with health and safety. They would have to shut the Sophia Khan terrace if they were cladding the roof, so they have to wait until we have a gap in the fixtures to start the work, otherwise the whole end would be closed, as at the recent Manchester City game.
If you notice, there are no pallets of cladding delivered yet, as i assume that the storage of building materials would be a health risk too.

I have no idea when it's going to get done, but maybe when we're knocked out of the FA Cup by some non-league minnow, it'll open up a window in the fixture list. :D

Says in Fishy site "wait for a larger window within the first few weeks of the season"
My guess is there gonna start next week as they have a 2 week gap, failing that its gonne be 22nd Sept

Let's face it, this is Accrington Stanley. Nothing ever runs smoothly. The roof will come when it comes.

There will have been a cock-up. Someone will have forgotten to order the cladding. Someone will have have assumed someone else was ordering the claddin. Eric will have "done a deal" on the cladding, and it's being shipped from Outer Mongolia by Yak. The cladding has been sourced from Columbia and is currently impounded at Liverpool docks after Customs found a consignment of drugs with a street value of £4.50 in it.

Choose your own excuse / reason. We'll never get to know. But rest assured of at least one more soaking in the "Sophia Khan Open-air Shower" before the roof goes on.

Stewards were told that the safety netting goes up tomorrow so that the roof can be finished. Oh! well, we shall see if this another excuse for not finishing or really the truth!!!

Re: Clayton End Roof
 
I used to work for a construction company that also did the cladding, a team of 4 would have had that roof on in less than a day, so there should be no real need for a window in fixtures as a couple of days should see it all done, so i would guess once it arrives it should be soon sorted.
