Just been reading on the FB site that they are pouring the foundations for the south stand seating!

Looks smart, they seem to have matched the profile of the bottom similar to the top, are they going around either side corners with the terracing? If so will look really good.

For me with this work, and the terracing in front of the south which is due to be finished before the first home game, the ground is in a really good position with not much to do.

I think if re-terrace the west stand with a new roof and then a larger roof on the north stand (maybe extend the terracing) and the ground would be pretty much fully done for me.

Just a few things.

On the planning portal it appears to be existing terracing on west and existing elevations. So in my eyes it’s a roof
With gantry and media room and staircase to the rear for access. There will likely be a tidy up too. Im fine with the existing terrace staying personally. Obviously if your going to relay the terracing on west then you may as well pretty much do the full stand and look at increasing the elevation even more. It’s not really necessary though.

Good comment about the sides of the north which has the old terracing. I don’t expect it will be touched and does spoil it somewhat however a quick cosmetic cover up with a heavy duty banner with trinity crest on wouldn’t go amiss. Maybe even a retractable one to keep clean. Cosmetic but it would look smarter.

Think he meant the corners with the West Terrace below the food bar and the opposite side where the North meets the East both these corners are having new terrain. The bit I think you mean is the side of the North Stand out side of the roof on the upper part of the terrace. Against Cas it looked like the side near to Donny Road had been dug out. Maybe for terracing or a food/bar etc

That's the ones mate, I kind of answered my own question when I zoomed into the pics and saw the terracing looks to have been removed in those areas.

Looks to be a fair bit left to do in just three weeks.

Structural concrete is stipulated/graded in factors & usually C30 or 35, can however be higher but not usually lower C30 is max strength in 30 days, test cubes in each 7 days for crush strength & so on etc, therefore it's not likely any works will be undertaken till strength is proven, it would not be to first time new laid concrete is removed !?
