New concreting. Might mean they’ll shortly look to finish the terracing here.

They should have used Tarmac like Liverpool did. ;-)

Judging by the time the temporary roof support structure is taking, it’s a while until the first permanent roof beams will be lifted

The downside being more TikTokers and away fans in our end after buying match + hotel packages

Indeed! The club might as well name it the TikTok stand.

On the plus side, we won't find out until January 2026.

Just in time for the tourist CL knockout games.

Great!

I had to drop my son off at the airport at 5:30 this morning. On the plus side we witnessed a massive new section of roof girder heading down Ashton New Road towards the Etihad.

Just at the ground now looks like they’re getting ready to lift the fist beam

I was in a rush to get to town for an appointment took a couple of quick pics will post when I’m home. Nothing too exciting just a red strap attached to it n the crane

Could it be the delivery of the one spotted on the motorway?

Cropped this from sskies video #2 yesterday - what an absolute stinking mess of wires and cables up there, I hadn't realised that 4 of the 6 temporary poles are split to go around the existing cablenet support wires, literally the cablenet wires thread through the middle of the yellow poles!

The stinking mess of wires and cables keeps the whole roof up around the stadium, apart from the south stand I think. Don’t knock them

It was attached to one of the three that had been there the longest

Bloody clever bit of engineering.

It definitely looks like it’s ready to go. They really do have a way of making major lifts when nobody is around to capture them [emoji106]

Just happened now

I think so yeah ... Think from the ground I saw it go to the end of the old roof ending

It looks bloody massive to me.
