The back steps are precast concrete and sit on the steel framework. The "slide" in front of it sits directly on a similarly slopey earthwork, steps to be added later (probably cast in-situ I expect.

Back 4 or 5 rows;the concrete blocks have been placed directly on to the steel itself.Whereas the concrete slope is the base for the concrete steps to be cast directly on to the terrace.

I thought there were to be NO STANDING AREAS.

Excellent pics Notters. It's really happening-next week will hopefully see most of the terracing in place then the lazy sods can get on with the South Stand.

The sloping bit is the underside of the stepped terrace. The steps will be cast one row at a time from the bottom up.
Steps at the top are the concrete units sitting on the steel beams that have been brought to site.
