Thought it was to be completed by xmas?

I thought is was May 2011.

This. That's when Buckingham have to hand over the key to Tony B. I'd imagine it'll be several bunches of keys.

I know you can't see it on the webcam (now there's a surprise) but the north stand is currently being extended past the NW dogs head. Couldn't see the south stand as I drove past, but I presume that's being done too.

You silly person-that's when they'll move the webcam

I wish everyone would stop STRESSING about the webcam.

If the idea is to create a start-to-finish video with it, then it had to go somewhere where it could stay for the duration of the project without moving.

Obviously there was never going to be an IDEAL spot but I think where it is is fine, as once the west stand is complete is will rise far above the south stand so you WILL have a decent view of the whole stadium.

Some people are just NEVER happy.

The IDEAL place for it is on a pole about 50 feet higher than the one it's on.

That's 50 feet of extra cable.

Are you sure about that? It's as high as it's going to get (apart from the arch) and we can see the best part of sod all.

That video is going to be a blockbuster though...

I had a look up there this morning and there was a lot of work taking place down in the N.E. corner. It looked like they were putting the steel up for the corner section's roof.

[Scoffers]

thanks, great pics again!

 

[Bwian]

Thanks NJ-I took a couple of photos myself but there was too much barbed wire in them.

 

[Everest]

Saw that this morning, thanks NJ.

Got any from behind the NE dogs head showing the steel going up there?

Edit: Sorry, meant the NW, damn stupid orientation.

Didn't take one from behind facepalm, but here's the next best thing looking across the front of the stand

 

[Everest]

That's the fella. Cheers

Is the same happening to the south stand yet?

Never taken one from behind then?

Not yet as the area is being used for storage and access for the West Stand.

Never taken one from behind then?

Never, I've always been taught it is always better to give than to recieve

Probably be going round late afternoon for a few snaps.
