I have been past this morning it's beginning to dwarf everything around it. The terracing for seats steel work is going in given the section behind the seats for hospitality etc it's going to be really impressive. Big screen looks about done visually anyway

Looks small in this pictures in terms of height but I presume there may be higher steels going up above these. Hard to judge from pictures though.

I’s the big screen up? Has anyone got a photo of this and I’d it the same as the sky screen that sky bring in terms of size and capabilities?


I only brought it up because when talking to someone involved the other day, they reckoned people would be shocked when they saw how big it actually is. This has often proved to be the case in my experience when plans become real. I felt I'd been mugged when I first saw the foundations of our new build house, looked like a dolls house, but the transformation when finished was astonishing.

Most of us either don't have the mental capacity or experience to visualise scale. It's a learned skill by and large. Most people see things as smaller than they actually are.

In this case though it's impossible to tell from those pic. :D

Northstand

Re: Stadium and other issues : Thu Oct 27, 2022 2:41 pm  
Work on the northstand 'upper' also on going by the looks. Loads of what looks like scaffolding on the terrace.

Re the new stand, if you look at the footprint of it once the old one was pulled down the space that we have to work with seemed huge. It will be a real imposing professional structure once completed, when people pass on Donny road.

That's what we need. When the Superbowl was there it kind of hid what a shambles it was. But when that went it exposed the dereliction in it's full horror to ever passing motorist and pedestrian. I remember the Fev CEO saying it was an embarrassment and defensive though I am towards the club, I just couldn't argue, he was so right.

I used to think what new potential fan was ever going to be tempted by that, not even when we were doing well. I can't wait to start taking people I've never dared to take before. Admittedly you won't want them to take their seats too early as the rest of the ground still needs a crowd to hide the worst, but I'd risk it now.

Any chance of some screen grabs of the video from people who can access the Facebook page?

Works for me. Not sure why you can't see.
Unless you can't see Red White and Blue page.

I've never shared photos on here but I'll see what I can do.
Where do people normally save them?
