Feels like a lifetime ago I posted this, when there was very little to see on site, and the stand was roughly between steps 2 and 3 of the above.
We are finally at 'step 10'.
That’s such a great graphic. Thank you.

I noticed on CPs video that they were putting the end frame on to connect the 2 roof'sIt'll just be metal sheets with a translucent plastic at the top to let some light in and keep the design in line with the other stands - more detailed terms in the image above.

Looks like the kippax with the gene Kelly stand under the score board. ;-)It'll just be metal sheets with a translucent plastic at the top to let some light in and keep the design in line with the other stands - more detailed terms in the image above.

Got down low to capture that one.
Just back from the Etihad, video here, dismantling the pitch crane. Cheers
Surprised the workmen haven't been issued with catapults and 50mm ball bearings. With a 100% weekly bonus if they shoot down a drone!Got down low to capture that one.
Hope they don't, it would land them in big trouble with armed police bringing down an aircraft.Surprised the workmen haven't been issued with catapults and 50mm ball bearings. With a 100% weekly bonus if they shoot down a drone!
It's going to be a ballache getting out from the top of the 2nd tier.
Have drones the same legal status as an aircraft? I'm assuming that, given your reply, they do. Which kind of surprises me.Hope they don't, it would land them in big trouble with armed police bringing down an aircraft.
If fan groups like 1894 put enough pressure on the club to convince them to at least double the current 3k safe standing, maybe there will. It's a shame when club aren't being more proactive about making NSL2 the home end, again it'll be up to us fans to take matters into our own hands.It's going to be a ballache getting out from the top of the 2nd tier.
Anyone moving to NSL2 best find out what rows are close to the exits first
It's such a shame a proper safe standing and singing section won't be directly above exit 4 in the middle of the stand
The club have stated, if the 3K safe standing seats sell out, they will add more safe standing seats.If fan groups like 1894 put enough pressure on the club to convince them to at least double the current 3k safe standing, maybe there will.

I noticed on Sunday that they'd made a start on the walkway just underneath the roof.I would expect the next big lifts are going to be for the SkyWalk with a pre assembled sections, suspension bridge which runs between the platforms and east and west connections from the platforms to the lower section?

Yes they do jimharri they are classed as an unmanned air vehicle operated by a pilot. Attempting to shoot one down is classed as attempting to bring down an aircraft and carries a custodial sentence and armend police would be out. The drones that me and CP Overview require a separate license to smaller drones and we have all the proper insurances to go with them.Have drones the same legal status as an aircraft? I'm assuming that, given your reply, they do. Which kind of surprises me.
I would be there around 4pm Friday jrb, also going Wednesday about 5pm so might give an indication then. I would also like to do a tour there in a couple of weeks to see it from ground level.CP and SSS are either of you going down on Friday morning? I'm planning to do the tour on Friday, but I need to know in advance if the pitch has been totally cleared.
