I can see this playing out like the Coronation Street scene with the bats. I'll do the removal, I'll bet Rogues can play Roy Cropper and act all shocked and try to stop me.

Lots of piccies today folks

Opaque glass cladding is being fitted to the corner of the East and South stand





The east stand



Pics of the South stand insulation cladding. The vertical metal strips are to attach the final outer cladding.







The windows for the south stand are a lot bigger than you may think



In the corner of the South and East stands will be one of the entrances. You can see the steel frame of were the entrance will be

Part 2

Work has now started on roofing the East stand terrace were away fans will stand







The Brickwork on the east terrace is also rising quickly



This builder is walking past what will be a toilet block in the east terrace. As you can see Brickwork is already nearly 6 feet high, but its still got some way to go.



The pitch has received a further layer of sand. We may soon lose this view due to the rising brickwork blocking site of the pitch



Glass or plexiglass can be seen in the executive suites in the south stand

Looks really nice with sand instead of grass. Perhaps we could keep it like that? Negates the need for quick players?

Beach rugby? Sounds good to me.

Part 3

The North stand is now fully roofed, brickwork is however still in the preliminary stages. Cladding has also gone on to form the back wall of the stand





The storm water attenuation tank behind the North stand is mostly filled in now, and as a result you get a good idea of the size of the north stand car park.
In the background wood fencing can be seen separating the Tescos from the stadium site



Moving onto the west home terrace.

Brickwork on this stand looks about 10 feet high, as its above the height of the transit van
Note also the tractor which has a trailer to lay seed for the pitch





Close to Peasley cross road they are also concreting the top of the stone gabbions



More shots of the stadium









I think it will look very impressive for people traveling into the Tescos car park
