I've not misunderstood and the east and west are not part of any further expansion plans, only the north and that is a few years away.

Thats not right mate. The corners are designed to be pulled down quickly when they do the sides in the future. That's why the corner sections of the new roof are of a slightly different look to the rest of the development.

Well done that man

Does he get a Moonchester mug ?.

Think the design of corner sections has more to do with allowing "flex" between the old and new roof sections which are each independently supported so will move relative to one another.

Afraid not. The corner sections look different to the rest of the new roof as they are the only sections designed to integrate into the existing roof.

They are designed to be permanent

I think you are both correct. Yes the corner structures are permanent if city choose not to expand the East & CB stands but they have also designed them as cantilever (standalone) structures that can be more easily removed than if they were supported via the cable stay system.

Very cool!

The official design documentation says otherwise. Worsley has even just been told the same thing, which can be seen in the original post I quoted.

This isn't a piece of info I made up. I've taken it from the actual document.

You're behind ;)

Exactly ^^

No the stage D design report said so. The signed off structural design by severfield utilises a different approach as populous's concept wasn't structurally viable

Severfield are the roof manufacturers and co-structural engineers
Populous are the architects
