Fantastic news that the work appears to be going to schedule and everything is tickety-boo.

Is the new capacity going to be 61,000 when finished?

When the North stand is also expanded it will be circa 62,000 I believe.

New capacity when South stand done will be around 55,000.

My god that roof was removed quickly, unless it blew off with the wind last night.

Are you getting free breakfasts for advertising that cafe ??

its never open is it?
chatting to one of the Laing lads on site, they dont do late on a project this size, just throw more men at it to be done on time.

Not to mention that new pitch grew bloody quickly, given the somewhat chilly, wet weather.

And the whole stadium suddenly became a lot more computer-generated than I recall it being.

Surely, you're not suggesting that picture is somewhat less than 100% genuine?

It's going to be a long couple of months till the start of the season... Can't wait to walk down from the concourse towards my seat and look up to the left and see the whole new stand full up! Hurry up August!

Now the Taekwondo team from Ten acre Lane have been moved out of the training facilities that were between Next (now Gone) and Asda do people think Asda will get the green light?
