According to my concrete mate in the trade, it shouldn't be a problem to get in done...

Let's hope he's right.

that's very big hole!

I also got told today that the eventual plan for the North stand is to obviously develop the currently un-used land at the rear but then to raise the current roof considerably at the rear so that it slopes the opposite way to what it does now, ie highest at the back and lowest at the front

You'd be surprised what can be built in a week, and here its pouring concrete so no super structure to construct. Not heard anything anything re the terracing in front of the hospitality blocks other than the initial contract award.

There was a mini excavator parked in the South East corner today so it looks like they are on with that too

Good news. A few hundred extra fans in the south will only add to the atmosphere.

It’s 500 apparently.

Nice boost that. Can’t see that we willl need more capacity for a few years.

It is good to see, and probably won't.

However, I wouldn't be surprised, further dowm the line, to see something more permanent there, to incorporate a stand or terrace, mixed in with offices/hospitality. Like thats being previously mentioned, the Benidorm flats were meant to be a temporary measure

That though costs time and more importantly money.

Once the west is done and the south east, club shop/cafe it’s going to be a nice tidy stadium. A base we can truly build from.

They may have started that way but the flats are pretty permanent now.
He wouldn't be adding a lift and refurbing it if he had plans to remove it.
