You'll need a lot more than one line.

My mistake it's a cable car.

A bloody big one. Particularly at the end where the work is going on!

Can't they use that internal lift that Mr Drone pointed out?

Had a dream they cancelled the new stand and said they were building a temporary stand instead.

In regards to the mystery platforms, I noticed 2 during the Bournemouth game and wondered about them.
These were nearer to the new stand than the one currently there.

From a position af absolutely no knowledge, could they be something to do with acoustics? Reflecting sound back down?

Spent many a fucking cold and wet Saturday on that stand. Gene has a lot to answer to. ;)

These platforms are for re-painting the steel roof joists. The lads who are painting the east stand at the moment did the west stand beams last year.

Originally they used ropes to paint but put these platforms up now which takes time but speeds the job up overall.

Wouldn't fancy it myself they are crazy haha

I can't see a link to this article on here anywhere (mods delete if it is here) - but I saw this link posted by JRB yesterday on SkyScraperCity - its an EPIC description of what SISK have had to do around the old stand roof to get this job done!

Another great video by CP.

But CP did use the word ‘massive’ to describe the new 2nd tier. ;-)
