Nobody is allowed inside the stadium unless they have been inducted.

I was talking to a guy from barr construction during the week and he's happy with the build and the fact they are only two weeks behind plan.

I'd get fired if I was ever two weeks behind plan! They should be on plan with all the good weather they have had.

Is there just one corner not filled in now or is the steelwork in the the corners either side of the North Stand still to be completed?

December and January we had the big freeze and also had strong wind in the last two month which prevents the cranes from lifting steel. What seems as a strong breeze on ground level will be more like very strong wind at height.

All cranes a fitted with a safety device which tells them the wind speed and also sets off alarms or flashing light to show the wind is to strong.

To be fair to them being only two weeks behind is pretty good for a build in this country with our ever changing weather.

I don't think all the bank holidays will have helped either.
