It looks like the de-jacking of the arch supports on the west stand has started. This is quite a long process, so don't expect the temporary structures to disappear quite yet.
Work under the east and west stands is going well.
Window frames being installed in west stand and chalk is being used to build up the levels in order to form the foundation concrete before the terracing is cast.
Insulation being put on back of west stand.
Final brick cladding started at the bottom of the north stand wall.
4 lots of 5 photos coming up.

Inside special? About two photos out of 20 odd showing concrete floors.

Nothing special about that. Everest took a load of pics of the outside so i was expecting the opposite from you Jack. I feel cheated slightly if i'm honest. Oh well roll on next month and hopefully some proper inside shots.

I think it's going to take me a while to get used to the lop-sided roof on the north and south stands. Other than that, fantastic photos Mr Straw.

I'm not sure if the slanted roof behind the goals looks odd ?

Thanks for the pics

Thanks JS. When you see those pics you can just tell how much room there will be for expansion (hopefully needed of course)

If I have one slight disapointment its that the South stand looks tiny in comparison. Still cant be too fussy and as away fans will go in there they can stare at us in awe

Harsh - Think you'll find he meant he was inside the stadium if you are indeed being serious (difficult to tell)

JS - On that note about the arch supports apparently when they come off the whole roof will actually move about 2ft or something like that - that will be interesting!

Nice to see all the concreting done...

I am presuming that no 3 of batch 3 is the main entrance to the main stand. It will be an amazing first impression and getting on the lift into hospitality even better!!
