Too busy looking at the steelwork I never noticed the “Lawnmower man” cutting the grass, amazing how well it’s growing if it needs cutting this time of year.either that or Banksy been at the ground with a can of black spray paint

Regarding the grass. I'm finding that the section of the old pitch I took is growing 3 or 4 times faster than the rest of the lawn I planted it in. Weird.

Mines growing really well too. I wonder why.

Mine is the same.

Noticed when I dug it up the soil was very sandy.

May be a case that putting it in a better soil environment has seen it thrive.

The toilets aren't open yet though so if you’re desperate you’ll have to hold it for a while

Been past this morning in the car the steel erectors were on site, the middle section is looking good and stands much further back into the carpark than the section adjacent to the North Stand, its starting to really take shape.

Gates behind the Benidorm flats were open, as was one of the turnstiles, so had a peak.

And another.

I think the dog was excited about all that grass too

Looking good

From looking at the steel work, the actual gradient dosnt look as steep as other grounds . It may be that could be the reason why some have said the stand dosnt look as high as expected.looking at the Wigan ground it seems much steeper as an example.

Wigan is incredibly steep, the new stands rake looks fine to me.

Not suggesting it isnt. Just offering an explanation why others dont think the stand is that high, thats all.
