    They are just building back on the west stand so the whole structures size will be visible, whereas for the South stand they have not started building back yet, instead they have merely built the front of the stand.

    It's about a 70 ton capacity crane (max lift) so hardly a giant as crawlers go as they only typically start from around 50 ton, but given the length of jib it's rigged with it will only be good for 3 or 4 ton at the radius (or reach) it will be working at. So it will be used for lifting the steel work at higher levels, overhangs, roof etc.

    I thought the pitch was going to run from peasly cross lane to the back of the new tesco

    Easiest thing to remember is that the webcams are in the south of the site looking north.
    Therefore left is west and right is east.
    North is at the far end of the site and south is nearest the webcams

    Ok avin looked at this im being drawn back to, If the first stand they put up is the south stand then its is a side stand and therefore looks small to me according to this plan? ........ well not according to the plan but smaller than id have thought it would be.

    Yeah i got that, but it was the seat space i was talkin about, but i suppose when the put the slanted sections on the end for the corners might look different, i was thinking that was the length as it stands now

    Behind the sticks is terracing so it will be different in terms of spacing etc

    Dont own a camera SP, anyway big pour on the North stand is right, past half way when I got there, should be boxed off for about 3ish.
    They look to be running out of steel, very little left on the floor and none on trailers, at least it shows they are keeping to schedule.
    The West stand has had some steelwork added to the back of it, giving more depth to the struture, dont think the South will be linked to the West just yet as that corner is used as an access to the inner stadium, add to that they are now errecting the East end of the South stand.

    Just been reading on the Star website that everything is on schedule for completion in October and work will gather pace over the next 3 months. With the roof going on some time in July
    KNOWSLEY ROAD 1890-2010. A part of history soon to be no more...the place that meant so much to so many people. Farewell old lady, forever in our hearts.

    Well when i was looking after work, the cranes where at the side of the jk phillips warehouses, so they're probably starting that side now.
