Crash on the M62 I'm stuck in traffic so will get my video out tomorrow very early and do the draw. I'd only end up getting home about 9pm and video going on at 10pm. So video on for 8am tomorrow and the draw will take place in the morning. Gonna close the comp at 6pm and get all the names together. Cheers

Tends to be as good as the question's it is asked. A more detailed or specific question and you'll get a better answer. A high-level generic question and your answer is similar.

Often you need to know the answer to ask the question to get the right answer. Which defeats the purpose. So far I have seen it get more wrong than right.

Either way, it should not be the default item or first go to when searching something imo.
 
Thought this may be useful. Hope Bournemouth is a dry day!!

Changes to Food & Drink Concessions – North Stand Level 2​
​
[td]
From tomorrow, concessions in North Stand Level 2 (opposite blocks 234 to 239) will be closed for necessary construction work, and temporary arrangements will be in place for the Wolverhampton Wanderers and AFC Bournemouth matches.

The concourse area will look a little different with additional Asahi Super Dry EBars, and some temporary food concessions located under the seating blocks. A revised food and drink offering will be available, including a streamlined menu of matchday favourites like pies, hotdogs, and chicken wraps, with vegetarian, gluten-free, and family-friendly options available. Drink options will still include draught beers like Asahi Super Dry, a variety of alcoholic canned options, and soft drinks such as Pepsi Max and 7UP.

Chips, hot drinks, Guinness and IPA will only be available at the food and drink concessions near Block 230 in the West Stand, and Block 242 in the East Stand. You may need to move through the concourse to purchase these items. The map below shows where you can get different food and drink options.

We’ve reconfigured some of the concourse seating to accommodate the temporary food and drink units, but there is no impact to toilet provision. ​

Stadium Roof - North Stand​
[/td]​
[td]
To keep summer works on schedule, work to the North Stand roof will begin before the end of the season. For the final home match of the season, we expect that four sections of the North Stand will temporarily have reduced cover.

We will share more information ahead of the AFC Bournemouth match.

We are working hard behind the scenes to enhance your matchday experience, and we thank you for your continued cooperation.​

The foldable Kalzip aluminium was being fabricated on-site today, as seen in the video, and is going to be placed on the hotel roof.

Kalzip foldable aluminium sets new standards for visually attractive façade elevations and meets the highest structural and design requirements from planning to implementation. The unmistakable metallic surfaces minimise glare and reflections and convey a discreet, prestigious building character even on large surfaces. Kalzip foldable aluminium can be processed for metal wall cladding using conventional roofing techniques. The most frequently chosen design is the angled standing seam or a diamond or shingle covering on a ventilated formwork.

When you say “on the roof” are these the parapet wall “copings “ ??

That explains what that really long uncoated steel is for as it wasn't painted yellow but didn't seem to have any place in the construction itself.

looks like they are using that 'extra steel beam' to support the cables (actually thin rods) as they lift each of them up and into place between the tower tops and the eyes at the (current) end of each of the beams.

Its a f**king complicated jenga puzzle this one!

It is a relatively modern thing for stands to have roofing, a century ago most grounds were open to the elements. Let the sun shine on the Etihad for the last home game of the season and King Kev’s last ever game there.

Early leavers leave early. It's nothing to do with transportation issues. I have seen people leave football matches 10-15 minutes early to wait stuck in the car park until some time after the match had finished.

My dad was furious if he wasn’t back home sat at the kitchen table with a brew listening to the final couple of minutes on the wireless. Leaving 20 minutes before the end no matter the opponent or score. Hereditary I suppose
