| Quote Khlav Kalash="Khlav Kalash"That’s what was proposed, however what is planned doesn’t always come to fruition once put into practise. The plans have been amended (7000 covered I think) and the RFL have been updated on the progress and are happy with it. Put it this way, would Andrew Glover have bothered wasting the money and effort to get these covers up if the RFL were to say it’s not good enough after they have been installed?'"
Fair point well made, but if the plans were forced to change so much that we couldn't have made the criteria, we'd stand a better chance with the RFl is we were almost complying than not at all. But that's all pretty irrelevant I suppose as long as the RLF are happy with it.

Also speculate to accumulate. Something like that will pay for itself in a couple of seasons.'"
Indeed, think I read somewhere Trinity lose approximately £30k per match when it rains, so only 10 rainy days are needed in the next two to three years for the stands to pay for themselves. Lets hope for a wet summer.

| Quote fat faced fan="fat faced fan"
i was thinking of the proceeding 90+ years as well! the fact that it can be as good as sorted in a fortnight is pretty sobering.'"
Thinking back only 50 years there used to be a very large covered stand where the "hostility" blocks (I like that name  ) are now. It was basically a tin roof but in principle no different to what is being put up now. If it rained most standing fans were in there. If I remember rightly - and that's not certain nowadays! - you did used to get a great atmosphere in there.

I think you'll find that the roof was asbestos cement but you are right it was a fantastic atmosphere in there.
The South Stand was demolished because someone deemed it to be "unsafe". Unsafe, it was steel and when demolished all the terracing went with it, not just the stand. Another mystery at this great Club but lets not dwell on the past.

| I presume the stand will be going the full length of the terrace (or atleast the majority of it)? I know its still early days, but the supports look like they only going half the length of the terrace so far

I sincerely hope so otherwise it would look a bit silly-thinks someone posted earlier that the cranes in position can only reach so far!

It is, as per Sky's requirement; that was one of the things that forced a change from the original plans - Sky advised that they couldn't get the viewing angle that was required, so the plans had to change.
He who pays the fiddler and all that jazz.

‘First section done’ suggests it will span the terrace.

Split level roof, means the back steps on the Doncaster road side of the stand are still usable, wonder if the front goes straight across or if it steps up with the roof? Again shame it does not go right to the front (pitch side) but lets just be happy that we have walked the walk and not just kept stalling like Tricky Dicky!
