Zoomed in on the above picture. My camera phone can't get any closer. Slightly blurred.

I'll post the rest of the pictures of later on.

3rd picture down. How the Hell did you get close enough for that angle. It 's not a zoom thing, as you can see the top of the protective barrier on the outer edge, so you are either quite close to it, or really low.

Always impressed me this, the way the photos feel like you are on site.

Whose job is it to change the blue light bulbs up there?

I presume the new north stand/skywalk will be lit up at night ?

It's finding the right view point and angle.

I took quite a few pictures from.other view points and angles where you can't see much. I've discarded those pictures

If I had my proper camera I could have zoomed in a lot closer.

Thankfully there is on one steel support in the ground. Just wait until you see those pictures. It really is a great piece of engineering and metal work

Thankfully not mine.

Working on the Metrolink stop canopy.

Did somebody post they needed cleaning the other day?

Windows going in on both sides of the hotel.

I keep on looking for the first proper section of Hotel cladding, I can't see any yet.

From Joe Mercer Way, and the right side of the construction site.

More from the night side.

Concrete terracing waiting to be lifted into place..

Over from Spain and did the Etihad tour last Sunday. The expansion is pretty impressive.

Are them 2 uprights in their final place, because they don't look like they'll all meet when the other 2 are put in place? They look too vertical.

One of the 8 steel supports.

Guessing, I'd say it's 20-25 metres long?

He’s huge…!!!

Try getting away from Wembley in a coach. Not a piece of piss.

A well known issue, 100's of Coaches converging on 1 place with roads packed in a built up busy are, there is no solution.

Did it once and vowed never again, absolutely terrible experience.

Easily I would say, i filmed it as well in my video coming out shortly, 2 workers stood next to it looked tiny

 

[cpoverview]

The orange straps are on the one on the ground, so I would assume it's being lifted tomorrow (morning?)

Im hoping so as im going to go early and see. It didnt look likely today as the crane was busy with terracing

They are. the quadpod is not symmetrical, the two outer ones are at a steeper angle and longer for it.

Ah I was goint to post this morning, that I thought two of the connector pieces were a cross on the tower, and the two were round plates. But helf off, but now that makes sense, the crosses will slot into the ines at the top for the longer pieces, and the ones with more force in them due to the pull of the roof, hence the more robust connections.

Ignore the colours, done for an earlier discussion, but you can see there the angle of the piers. The two front ones are almost vertical as you point out, the two back ones angle more to meet them. It is a two way pull, the force on the back is higher.
