When the structual supports are removed, the whole stadium drops by 10 cm or something stupid, so i was told by Martin Perry last week on the tour

That's only 4 inches.

It'll be more like 18-24 inches.

I'm sure he said 300mm but wasnt 100%, and when i made out 300mm with my arms it seemed a bit much. Just remember him making a little joke about the surveyor.

I don't care how far it drops really, as long as the damn thing doesn't end up laying crumpled up on the terracing

Check out the 15:15 picture, it looks like that bloke is holding a crane up


*edit* I've had a closer look and that's got to be a set up by the builders, very good

 

[Drumstick]

300mm is only a foot (length of a normal ruler)

Cracking!

Well I wish they'd just get on with it instead of pissing about on camera.

I thought the arches lifted? Not dropped?

 

[Jeep]

Aha! - I too remember hearing they lifted, but didn't want to mention it in case I sounded daft!

If the arches do indeed lift, why are the supports being lowered so slowly?? - Surely as soon as they are untied, the roof would ping up!

I think you have answered your own question there!

Some people on here need to go back to school and learn about gravity!

If you take away the supports, an apple falls on your head?

Looks like roofing is going on at the rear section of the north stand. Can anyone verify this? I guess it would be visible from the A27.
