Can anyone explain what's going on with the black Tarmac/shale/coating(?) in-front of the main stand? TBH I don't like the look of it. That's just me.

I take it the concrete walls have now been replaced permanently by those low metal fences at the bottom of the lower tier/s?

It's just the under part of the fake green grass where the players warm up.
 
Did anyone watch the Channel 5 programme late Sunday night - about mobile lasers measuring the Pyramids?. The main engineer in the film was involved in the building

of The Birdsnest Stadium, The Allianze in Munich and The ETIHAD. Pics. were shown of all 3 stadiums. Our fame is spreading.

Is it actually tarmac ? Either way it looks temporary, so I wouldn't worry, they won't want tarmac, rain, football boots, and multi million pound footballers coming together.

Have we narrowed the blocks by 1 row(in the aisles?) or taken a few out at front and back?

Joe Hart's view:

That view for Joe will be amazing on match nights! Looks great.... We are blessed with the best owner we could ever have wished for our club!!
 
A trivial point, but something that has fucked me off for a number of years.

The nets are now much closer to the stand. No huge gap behind.

I shall be at peace with myself now this issue has been dealt with.

Btw, it looks fuckin awesome
 
Is it just me, or has the gap between block 111 and the away fans increased in size? Looks like some additional rows of seating have been taken out to increase the gap.

Still no sign of the seats going in the existing 3 tiers in the corners ?

I'd noticed that but I presume it's the easiest bit to do so they are probably concentrating on getting the South Stand done first. The seats in the other stands could quite feasibly get fitted a couple of days before the Chelsea game.

It has, to prevent away fans in tiers 2 and 3 being sat directly above the home fans.

Away fans now get a small slice of 212 for the same reason

Had a invite to the Chairmans suite on Thursday at 11.45 where we get a tour and then speak to the apprentices about the extension and then watch them put in the last few seats before the open training session
