So, it’s a new control room behind the 4th and final corner screen? ;-)

Doubt there will be a screen to be honest but we can all keep out collective fingers crossed !

Which video? Are you saying they are working in the SW corner?

AC Elec have a relatively small electrical package on the North stand element working for the M&E contractor.

As for the 4th screen its not its the Control Room thats currently below block 322 being changed to a hospitality box and the control room being built where the scaffolding is as I stated on here a few months ago.

@bluesmith, it says the name of the company on high-vis



Below is the control box in there, with the TV studio at the end





Could they not have the control box on either side of the screen

This is from the planning statement from the South Stand 2014 shows the control room as the darked out window in the second photo; the last part is a TV studio

With the new North Stand, there are 2 new TV studios at the top of the stand.

Take it, the old control room will be made into more executive boxes, as there are 13 boxes on the left and only 10 on the right.

Making the control room an executive box would bring it back up to 13 on each side




There is the South Stand in the planning statement for the North Stand

Good spot but I wouldn't read too much in to that, you'll see companies hi vis logos on site when that company isn't even on the project.

Great video Colin , thanks for that ! You know what I find strange , with all the videos from you and Steve, we’ve never actually ( as far as I can remember)seen a single piece of sail being fixed ! Maybe it’s a night time job for the elves ;-)

Video by @cpoverview new control room.

Sorry about the crap drawing

Hopefully, the screen can go in the middle, with viewing areas for the control room at either side

I hope you’re right, but wouldn’t the support Steel for the screen be part of the structure being built? I can’t see any clues as to it being integrated.

Before anything was built


The screen on the other side is getting built



The screen fitted on the other side in July looks like there is enough space at each site for a viewing area for the control room
