    Was up billinge hill yesterday and the new stadium can be quite clearly seen from any point on the road leading upto the hill (from Crank Road), as you stop and look back towards the town, it's at the bottom right of the large gas tower, the 7 stansions were really easy to pick out. I would imagine when built it will be as easy to see as the JJB is on the other side.
    Never could see knowsley road from up there.

    Just had a look this morning saw two crane's arrive on the cam, can only see one on site, anyway the one you can see is not a cantilever type, but it is a giant its a big power crane and is being assembled along the floor, big long box section jib about 25 yards long, my guess its for the precast concrete terracing, it could also be used for low level steel erection.

    Is this the big red thing with caterpillar tracks that looks rather old fashioned, and is currently situated near what will be the west stand?

    Thats the one Chair Maker, dosent look nimble enough to erect high rise steel, there is loads of steel stacked on site now, at this rate it will take till next year to errect four stands, need more steel erectors.

    Thats great, i live just off Crank rd near where the hospital used to be so i'll have a look this week sometime.Would the new ground be obscured by the gasometer at all or in front of that viewed from Billinge Hill or at the side of it?

    Crawler crane is the hard to get to places that a wheeled crane cannot and can be built to a fair size. The White air bags are exactly that I expect,White bags full of air that should be placed around the wagon with steel on as fall protection for the chap who chains it up.
    Looks like it full steam ahead based on your reports. It's good to see every weekend when I come home. One construction site I won't be sick of seeing.

    noticed that, they stack the bags round any wagon thats being unloaded, there is steel all around the site now, trouble is they have been unloading all afternoon, done very little erecting today.

    Next bit of the jigsaw was bottom piece. Not first time I've seen it. Watch next 2/3 days as they will be throwing it up now it's laid out ready to go. Looking forward to pics towards end of week. Hoping Mrs G or CM or other resident papparazzi is about.

    It was standing room only behind the Burger King this afternoon, eight or nine came in the ten minutes I was there, several more sat in their cars, most taking pictures a couple with binoculars.

    The terrace is slightly lower, must have something to do with where the seats meet the stands, otherwise they would tower over the seated species.

    Do you teleport from one side of the town to the other? lol

    You must have a good camera. One hell of a zoom on it. Mine's a compact digital from six years ago with a zoom that probably gets me about three inches closer! I haven't even attempted new stadium shots but now that there is actually something big and visible on there I might try at the weekend!

    Great shots btw. And it's dead exciting actually seeing something go up on the site!
