The East Stand Upper & Corners are coming along nicely. The pitch is due to be reseeded next week apparently, before the FatBoy Slim Concert. The New seeding will be covered for the concert. I would have thought having umpteen thousand hoofs bopping their thing over it wouldn't do it any good? I know nothing about that kind of thing which is why I'm not a Groundsman & my Garden is a Jungle.

Is the South East corner only going as high as it currently is before it plateus out, or will align with the rest of the stand like the South West ?

Great photos, just having those two corners filled in will make a huge difference, I can't wait until August ?? to see the place full

I like that second picture. Looking forward to more ESU progress.

Surely the latter. Do a search and you'll see how it's supposed to look.

i seem to remember from drawings it doesnt quite meet up with top of lower east, maybe 4 or 5 rows lower. Not sure why its not been done the same as south west but obviously there must be a good reason.

Not enough room behind S/E corner, i imagine the outer tructure of the stadium would have to be changed a great deal for this to happen! Just a guess!

I like the way different seat levels are starting to arrive. It creates little gantrys here and there and give the Stadium it character. Some little enclaves fans can make their own!
