I wonder if GH & Mark Arthur have the live feeds up on their PCs to check up on who's slacking on the job.

More up to date live feed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNWOM3IewbU Looks like it's going a lot further back than the old Southstand.

The new stands look great and will no doubt improve the experience for Home and away fans alike.

One question though, why can’t or haven’t they filled in the corners on the East side of the stadium. It would make the improvements even more impressive and also help the noise and atmosphere levels.

i suspect it more to do with the flood light pylons. this wound either be restricted view or it would need moving. but i suppose they is scope to extend the terracing into the corners at some point but the cost of moving the pylon for what only might be at extra 600-800 extra spaces is not viable at the moment. maybe when the whole flood lighting system is in need of upgrade then they may be able to fill the corners in.

Those pylons are 30 years old this year. I’d reckon they last another 30

I always thought the south east corner was due to the angle st michaels lane cuts across behind it. Hence the slightly odd shape to the Carnegie Stand.

Also why I've always thought we should shift the pitch more towards the cricket side giving more space on the Southstand side also.

Though the spanner to that is the bloody pavilion.
