The south stand roof definitely looks well short of the front of the terracing
Are we sure it's going to fit ?

Why anyone is doubting such a basic thing is beyond me. As far I understand what we can see is the roof support; the roof WILL extend beyond this.

judging by this picture i dont think it will be extended any further unless the images are old. i think it is just the angle of the webcam maybe side on photos will be taken of the roof this friday to find out!

I think the roof design has changed quite a bit, for example there are no holes in the steels now, they are solid. And also if you look on the webcam the North Stand roof has had extensions that go beyond where the truss is...

In the left hand picture you can see the guiding rope still attached to the end over the south stand, acting as a “plumb bob” it clearly show the end is in line with the second step.
Looking at the right picture on the north stand toy can see there is still and end piece still to be fitted so the stand will be covering all the seats.

They were driven into the site last around 9 ish i follow them up the road.
Its a corrugated galvanised tube not very thick, maybe, for concrete support or heat and venting, but seems a bit early for 1st fix.

Don't worry, it's Calderon, just having fun. This is the away end, don't forget, and you can see that one bloke's clearly had enough and is leaving for the coach park.
I'd say we're easily 5-0 up.

... I go away for two weeks and they practically complete the stadium!! Maybe I should go away again and then it'd be ready for the new season!!
Optical illusion, it only looks like it's in line with the second step because the end of the guiding rope is a few feet off the ground, if it was five feet shorter it would look like it's in line with the 5th step back. If it stretched to the ground it would be on the dirt and not the terrace, i don't think the first beam is even above the terrace.

What are they doing with the massive crane? It looks like they are extending it FURTHER?
As we all know, the fact is that rain doesn't tend to fall down perpendicular tot he ground. We know that rain will drift into the front rows and those likely to bare the brunt of it are those in the East and North Stands because the prevailing wind comes from the South West.

Never mind. I'm sure the Falmer ponchos will be absolutely top-notch too.

I guess so it can reach over the west arch and lift the beams to tie the arch to the west stand.
The rope is clearly seen resting on the second step. its not 5 feet off the ground
Look at the 13:45 shot from yesterday, if it was resting on the step wouldn't the shadow meet the rope
