Centre, including the hotel/left claw overhang.

Right side split over 2 posts.

Steel ready to be erected.

The stand, which is much more visible and accessible on the right side.

Nope, rivals over 800 and 1500m for a few years.

Was that before the Cram Coe era mate. I had always thought Ovett and Foster were the main rivals then Coe and Cram, you live and learn, thanks mate.

The structure of the stand itself looks so much more intricate than the south stand build - even apart from the support towers.

Will the bridging of the gap to the current stand happen next close season? I’m not sure what the schedule is but I assume the existing roof will be cut away behind the new supports to allow the new steel to be inserted?

Brilliant work jrb thank you.

Don't think so, not for that part of it. If I thought that I would have held off saying anything, believe me.

My own opinion of course.

and jrb's

Hate to say it, but man that's disappointing, re the sails. Face fixed all over, not even edge finished. And a great potential whistle gap too, if that's how they will be fixed. Maybe some might have a lighting strip inbetween the two panels fixed together, the way that edge is left.

Wonder if they might build the brick (for the sample only) the conventional way, if the bottom setting out is anything to go by.

They look exactly like the basic images in the DAS, which I always thought they would do! Pretty meh, but you don't make any money from ploughing extra into elevation treatments so I never expected anything better personally.
