Thanks JS , Hard to believe that the arch is not all that large compared to the West Stand arch which will be a monster.

It's the same size arch on the West side.

 

[The Grockle]

It's the same size arch on the West side.

The west one is just higher.

 

[Everest]

The west one is just higher.

meaning the actual arch dimension won't be higher, it's just erected higher than the east arch because of the size difference of the stands.

So it must be bigger then. Its got further to go up.

About 12 seconds into his latest blog, Martin Perry describes the West Stand arch as "even bigger".

Which would make more sense as it has a bigger load to carry; it looks like it scales out bigger on the drawing sections. Either way, it is going to be spectacular.

Jack, you seem to be getting pretty close to the action! Are you taking a few steps forward each week hoping no-one notices?

Brilliant photos.

You think he's playing 'What's the Time, Mr Wolf?' with the construction workers...?

I prefer to say it'll be completed in about a year and a half (ish) - 2 years sounds too long!

 

[throbinson]

Great idea with the calander

 

[Icy Gull]

Thanks JS, I update my pc background with one of your pictures every week.

 

[Big Jim]
