It is big, its will suprise a lot of people with how high it is, and the fact that what you see is less than half the full depth of the main stand.

Some info re the stand your seeing being built

This is the South stand were the corporate people will sit.

Currently can be seen the frame for the terracing and the big vertical poles (that look like Rugby posts) which will infact help support the roof.
The roof line is a short way above were these vertical poles narrow.
At the top of these poles there is a short cross bar that makes a "t" shape. This is to attach either steelwork or cabling to support the roof below it.
There are 18 of these poles in the south stand between the four floodlight cloumns, after which the seats start to curve round to the east and west

The stand itself goes a lot further back than the steelwork currently indicates. It will infact come out to only a couple of metres from the fencing at is widest point.

Was looking at ariel plan in the official brochure yesterday and it looks like the extremity of the south stand will come up right to the road inside the site. So as I said in an earlier post, if you look at the original picture in the same brochure the approach area to the stadium looks massive, so I can't work it out in my mind's eye. By the way that brochure was printed in 2007, 4 years ago

All 3 cranes working flat out this morning since about 07:30. I thought they would have had more cranes for the stands but there you go.

another crane turned up a couple of days ago while I was watching, it came up to the gate then reversed and went.

Everyone can see them on Redvee, as its an open website available to all. You dont need to be a member of Redvee to view this forum and see the pics

Facebook on the other hand is a private members chat club, so putting stuff on facebook precludes people who dont have facebook from actually seeing the pics unless you make sure you use the "everyone" setting.

Otherwise you are making the photos private, which is not the intention of people on this site, who are sharing them for the world at large to see.

Most people remember still dont have facebook accounts.

**Gruntfuttock** · 10th March 2011, 09:11

Yes ive no problem you using them it is a public site like chairmaker says

**SaintPeter** · 10th March 2011, 14:51
