Does the stand not run the full length behind the sticks? Only looks like half on the pics

Can't tell right much from those pics, they've just started it.

I think they will build that half first and move the crane east and build the other half or the crane would be stuck in the middle

would have thought theyd have put the back supports in first, but if thats the case fair enough

Looking at the size of the crane i think they would spend more time moving the crane doing it that way .Would think they will get as much as they can done and move along.I THINK

ABSOLUTELY...AND...WHY DO I IHAVE TO TRY TO PICK MY WAY THOUGH RL fans to get any idea of what is really going on? I would prefer to be reading an up to date news feed on all of this from the club. All we get on the web site is corporate style flim flam and nothing about the nitty gritty that we are all worried about.

You are truly the most negative "fan" on here, get a grip and STOP SHOUTING

Just a couple of points, the pics you are seeing on here are coming from the Club and all the corporate film flam you talk about on the website without it we would not have a club, where do you think the money comes from?

I don't think AG tells you because I don't think he really wants your input...no offence but I'm sure AG is a better business man that you and probably has all your worries covered and then some. Letting us know about all the "nitty gritty" would not be productive as most of the clubs fans (myself included) are massively under-qualified to even have an opinion on it.

Anyone got an updated pic of north stand ?

i won't be satisfied until there's a live hd webcam of the work, with some of the lasses off babestation in the foreground. the way the club is neglecting the fans is a disgrace.

Careful not to send the wrong pic then

I think it will look good. We need to get rid of those cheap wooden signs at the back though.

will this will be the first time in our 100+ years at belle vue that there has been cover on the north bank?

It looks like it, I'm really looking forward to seeing it, I'm surprised it's only going to take them 2 weeks to get it up. Has anymore been said about the seats under the flats? I know that we had issues with ambulance access but Glover said they were trying to work round it.

you beat me to posting that by about 30 seconds



I must say, I'd imagined the stand to cover the whole terrace not just the back, I'm slightly worried that this doesn't match what was planned last June. When the article compared the plans to an A-grade licence they wrote this.

"2b: At least 12,000 of stadium capacity is under cover
10,000 of the stadium capcity will be under cover"

Correct me if I'm wrong but it doesn't look like the 2 new stands will cover 10,000 out of 12,000 people. Could this possibly affect our licence?

The Hostility blocks and East stand will also cover a lot of people.

That’s what was proposed, however what is planned doesn’t always come to fruition once put into practise. The plans have been amended (7000 covered I think) and the RFL have been updated on the progress and are happy with it. Put it this way, would Andrew Glover have bothered wasting the money and effort to get these covers up if the RFL were to say it’s not good enough after they have been installed?

No, the RFL are happy with whats been done.

the mind boggles as to why it was never done before.

Boggles?? Really?? Where have you been for the last ten years?

i was thinking of the proceeding 90+ years as well! the fact that it can be as good as sorted in a fortnight is pretty sobering.

Cash is king, or so our MD keeps telling us.

Also speculate to accumulate. Something like that will pay for itself in a couple of seasons.
