That doesn't look easy! No jigs involved, looked like the old-fashioned mark it and drill it. Still took a 4 man team plenty of time to install 30 seats - wouldn't fancy doing an entire new stand!

That's a very old fashioned way! They may do it by using metal frames that run the length of the row and then simply clipping the seats onto the frame and drilling them into it. Quite quick and easy once the frame is in. Could be different to that but it would certainly explain why it's happening so quickly.

Quality picture now that really show how huge a stand it is going to be, lots of seats already in the upper tier.

Is the family stand third tier going to be built once the south stand one is completed?

Or has that been forgot about?

 

[kboi1982]

Has there been any news on if/when the North stand will be expanded?

 

[Mike N]

Is the big crane down now?

But as has been mentioned above, those are not standard seating. I've seen it happen & they put them in quickly these days.

1st time I've really thought wow, thinking with all the corners filled in n the CB and east stand brought up a level to match it- wow immense!

Don't think they could ever have done it this season, as we are hosting a rugby world cup match in October.
