I predict Wednesday will be the day.
If the lift happens tomorrow, Christmas will come early for all of us.

As I already admitted, I missed today’s post

Article in the New Civil Engineer about steelwork bolting new to existing. The video (previously posted) at the end surely indicates how far those at the top seats will be from the pitch. Will need Opera glasses to see the action!

Covered before but it’s not majorly different in terms of distance as the back of the south stand.

I would like to know what PL stadium has the farthest seats from the pitch and also which has the steepest angle of stands. Looked on Google to no avail
I was there for 7.15am ready and waiting, but was gutting they didn't do the lift while I was there. Just used up all my holidays from work for 2024 too.

- Neutral , but I am one of the drone pilots covering the stadium build
Here you go, its a long video, unfortunately with no lift today, but a lot clearer what needs to be done before it happens hopefully tomorrow if the weather allows

Thanks for sharing CP, always good to see what is going on! Construction plans are always dependent on other issues, I am sure the lift will happen whenever everything is right. Unlike my own DIY efforts, measure twice, cut once.

It'll be OK when it's all pushed closer with hydraulic rams.
Anything is possible, I've just seen Andy Capp 'aka' Ian Grieve win his round of Mastermind, a very clever chap.

Furthest away is probably West Ham and steepest is likely to be Everton’s new ground, but not sure who it would be currently.
You got so unlucky @cpoverview, it never looked definitive whether they were going to do it or not! So many "false alarms" in your video, I really feel for you! I did buy you a coffee though, thanks for the shoutout!

The Spurs stand is at 35 degrees, which is the steepest allowed in the UK, so Everton's won't be any more than that. West Ham's is the furthest from the pitch

That's devotion.
My holidays have just started again at the beginning of November. I’d give you one of my holiday days if I could. Apologies about today.
Would you say Newcastle is the highest?
I need oxygen every time I climb those steps and reach the away end.
