Spectacular. Thanks.

Thanks "the blue panther" much appreciated

Just wanted to say thank you. The dedication to these videos, the early starts, the cold, wind, rain, morning frost is very much appreciated.

Thankyou "SAMthe MANc" I've enjoyed seeing the build evolve. The early starts are worth it as I don't get stuck on the mancunian way for a while. There will also be later videos too cheers

I wonder why that latest beam didn’t have any safety rails?

I wonder why that latest beam didn’t have any safety rails?

I think Chris mentioned on his CPOverview video it might be due to the weight of the central trusses, as they are longer than those fitted previously, and he surmised the safety rails might be fitted once the truss is in place.

Shots from ground level really give a true representation of the enormous scale & size of this build. Cheers

Going to be an majestic stadium after it’s finished. Still want the other sides doing to 100,000 not a measly 85,000. God wills it. :-)

not noticed those walkways under the ends of the beams before - their gonna be the best view in the house when done!

Assume they're in amongst the read bits below

They will he clad over I think. Will also hide a bit of the interconnecting structure, and tifo hangers.

They’re for floodlight maintenance and have been installed in the 3 other stands as well.

Couple of really small questions from someone who knows nothing about building, but they have been nagging me.

How do they fix the framing to the bare concrete outside walls of the hotel? Do they drill holes into the concrete?

Also, when they put the shuttering down for the concrete pour on each level, do they remove it again afterwards? If so, is it not an absolutely massive pain in the arse of a job if the concrete is stuck to the wood?
