yeh it was a well produced clip. Slowly but surely CP is becoming the stadium it should have been from day one!

At least CP should end up better than Salfords 'One Stand & 3 Cowsheds' approach !

Impressed by the contractor, he's obviously right on top of every aspect of the build.

Will be great to see the New Craven Park emerge at last.

Not sure you're right there Homer. I was actually involved in the construction of the original new stand that replaced the one that burnt down in 1984 (I think).

It is deffo not sloped and if I recall it was built with the levelling of the pitch in mind. I imagine the one built in the 90's was the same.

I honestly see no reason with a new end why it cant be levelled or at least leveller.

Be a tidy ground then.

Aye, you're right Vastman. Appparently the slope can be sorted at a cost of around £100,000 and is being seriously looked at. I would think that this will need to be done at the same time as any improvements/alterations to the Post Office Road end, as levelling now with the terracing still intact would make that end look a bit odd.

Incidentally, work has started on the demolition of the terracing at the Railway end

The slope will remain, but it will be less noticeable when the pitch has been extended. I've been down there today, its all looking good.

Seems a lot of effort for one giant seat.

Roofing half way done by the looks of it.









Internal walls coming on a treat now.

Plenty of work still for the crane to do it seems.
