Hi Blues,

Just been watching the expansion video...

And I'm just wondering how the current South Stand roof will be removed, I've watched it a few times now and still can't quite grasp it, no doubt I'm being a doughnut and it's probably right in front of my eyes but I can't see it? Could someone kindly explain it to me?

Double doughnut, its all there.

Great photo's jrb of the Campus and the Stadium Development, well done for all the effort and time you've spent on this so far, especially for folks like me who now live overseas, and cant get to see first hand what's actually is happening there.................

I'm 2nd row from the back of South Stand. On Tuesday night rain blew in from the back of the South Stand through the gap at the back of the stand. On the construction video it looks like the new terrace for the new tier is going to offer some protection.

Does anyone know when that will be, and what the height will be at the back of the 2nd tier? At Maine Road in the North Stand it was really tight and that was good as it created a lot of vibration when you sang. I don't know if the sound travelled well, but it sounded really loud from the back of the old North Stand

They are using sky hooks (8 in total) to support roof, then sending in a team to dismantle by hand.

You can clearly see the sky hooks around about 1:48 in the video.

Excellent work JRB. It's great to see how quickly things are moving off the field in terms of this development.

Anyone reckon that as soon as the CFA and the South Stand development are completed we could hear some concrete news regarding the "collar site" development, or would that be post North Stand development?

Anyone else think the weekend of the Derby would be a great time to officially open the CFA?

A picture paints a thousand words.
