Some pics i took yesterday.
Pics of the south east corner now filled in and receiving its outer cladding
A large amount of the road at the side of the south stand has also been dug up, this should make for a nice pedestrian boulevard.
The rather fancy guttering has also now been fitted to the majority of the West stand and is starting to be fitted to the North stand. This pic shows the South West corner
I spotted this in the south East corner and thought it might have been a camera, but on closer inspection it looks like a winch
East stand view, you can see the two central toilet blocks with bar areas either side
Just in case you cant see this clearly. Here is a close up showing toilet block on the left and Bar on the right.
a drainpipe from the roof goes into the toilet block, so it looks like they may be planning to store rain water in tanks above the toilets, and then use this water when flushing the loos
side on view of the east stand. You can clearly see one bar to the right, However another bar has yet to be built which is on the far right. There should be three bars behind the east stand.
The lush looking grass pitch. Note also the re-bar and plastic groundsheet, which looks like they are about to start work on concreting the pedestrian walkways in front of the stands.
The glass is now fully fitted in the studio. You can also get a sense of scale of the camera positions by the size of the workmen. Note also that on the roof are grey speakers which point downwards and black lights which point to the back wall of the stand.
moving onto the North "family stand" we can see two bar areas being constructed either side of two toilet blocks. This is just for the North East corner. More bars and toilets are in the North West corner. Looks like plenty of places to get food and drink, and have a jimmy riddle.
framework is also going up on the North stand for the outer cladding. A lift shaft is also being built to transport wheelchair people to their positions.
Moving onto the West stand
You can see the height of the perimeter blockwork. Also you may also note a ventilation vent within the brickwork , above the red skip, to help let fresh air into the toilets.
On the edge of the roof of the west stand i also spotted a Spy camera to keep an eye on the "ultras"
You may also note that to the left of the speakers are Lights. These lights dont point straight down, instead they point horizontally towards the back of the stand.

What looks like landscaping going on between the stadium and Tesco's
