LB has said on another thread that the problem with expansion is sefely getting people to and from the ground. If the club can't prove that the current travel plan works then the council can reduce the current capacity.
I agree though it's good to have the possibility to expand in the future. If only the regime who built the Goldstone had kept expansion in mind, we might still be there now.

Its Russell Slade's hair lacquer.
Does anyone know what the plans are for this week? Starting to take down the main buildings? Bit more steel on the south stand? Would be good to know.

The erection crane has now moved so it looks like the SOuth Stand will be continued towards the east a bit more.
A massive amount has been done in the last week when you compare the webshots

I hope we are not going to lose sight of theose scruffy Uni buildings before they get torn down. I was looking forward to that bit.

looks like they are going to put the steel work in the close corner in so it wil be completly enclosed straight away

I'd be surprised if they did that, as the gap between the East and South Stands seems to be the main site access route for all the vehicles coming in and out. Is there alternative access built yet?

Isn't there still a cliff face in the way then?

they have nearly used up all of the steel so I believe that will be left open for now

View of west side and Uni building is disappearing rapidly. Interesting to note that a question to the project team ('Webcam - it's gotta move') posted on 30 Sept hasn't received a reply yet. Perhaps they're having second thoughts.

Your suggestion was actually quite good. If they don't add another cam or move the current one it looks like Jack Straw will simply have to make daily visits.

Still 'soft stripping' uni-buildings prior to demolition.
Excavation / placing steel to North East Thrust block
Steel to be extended a little further on South Stand then to drop back on secondary steel.
Ground floor slab preparation to East Stand
