Don't think it is going to overhang and cover the front terrace which I think will remain open. Nevertheless as The Clan has put its a magnificant erection and provides cover for a few thousand.

Well done to Andrew Glover. Maybe we will now be seen as a Club that keeps its promises and delivers what its says it will deliver.

Just need now to make it a stand where the Wakefield Fans stand and create some atmosphere, like the South Stand at Headingley. Should have a good opportunity on Sunday with no away fans.

It looks like it ends there from these photos. It doesn't look like there are holes for a moment connection to support a cantilever to the front and also, the columns don't big enough to take a moment from a cantilever member anyway.

That all said, if it was going to have a cantilever to the front they would have probably designed the whole thing differently and avoided the need for a large moment connection on the front column (it would need to take a wind moment but not a moment from the rafter, as it is now) by running the rafter continuously over the top of the front column. The rafter would need to quite a bit larger to do this and it would have pushed the cost up a reasonable amount.

I actually like it as it is to be honest! One of the things Belle Vue has going for it for Summer Rugby is that it is great when the sun is shining, so you sort of get the best of both and if it does start to rain, you would be amazed how many people would squeeze under the roof!

I think we should be kneeling in praise of Mr. Glover's magnificent erection.......oh wait........doh!

Yep, can see it now you mention it. The supporting columns do look a little slender to counter the weight of what is a substantial roof.

By the way, i'm not complaining, I think both stands look great and I think home and away supporters will appreciate the cover, and not just for the protection from the elements.
