Quite like the idea, always prefer the enclosed stadium.

Might get down to watch a game.

Lights coming down today.

Are there any budding photographers willing to take pictures with weekly updates on the new North stand project?

A Saints fan did something similar last year during the Langtree park build.

There's already a thread . . .its called 'and so it begins'

I think AS has taken up the mantle but dont quote me lol!

Lets hope we don't get selected for a Friday night Sky game in the near future if they have dismantled 50% of the floodlights. Also, does this guarantee that we cannot play Hull at Craven Park in July, as it's a scheduled 8pm kick off?

How soon will alternative lighting be available? Is it integral to the stand?

I've got a really good torch.

Two million candles or summat.

Frepturd will be with us shortly, just a bit preoccupied for now

Just use them sky floodlight things, like 1st season.

Just merged the threads. Lets try to keep North Stand info to this thread if poss please.
Regarding the lights, didnt Sky bring their own lights to Craven Park in 2007 when ours at the time were not deemed strong enough for televised matches? I seem to remember them being set up behind the Roger Millward stand.

Steelwork goes up pretty quickly so they could have floodlights on top
of the towers in place by July if needed.

Any idea when the steelwork will start to go up?

No pressure then



'Aw dad are we here again!!'

Not sure but

This was the HJ stadium site in February 2003



This was the same site in May of the same year

Fuck me

He'd been busy that bloke in the first picture...

Its already been agreed that should it be necessary floodlights will be hired from SKY as previously until such time as the new ones are installed.

There is a Camera mounted on the East stand pointing at the North stand build.
They had issues with the wi-fi card in the timelapse camera and are
currently waiting for a new one to be delivered.

You could view it through the HKR TV homepage. It lasted about a day before
it went down.

Oi!!! do your own investigating

Whos the mighty 'F90'?

Simply brilliant she is. I served on the Kent, Iron Duke and Anglesey nothing quite as attractive as a Type 22.

Easty is correct. My first ship was H.M.S Brilliant (F90)
A type 22 Frigate that was sold to Brazil in 1996.

Never served on a type 23 but got to work on a few when I was shoreside.
I took the kids a couple of times when the Iron Duke docked in Hull.
Just to show them how tough we had it.

I'm sure your missus is happy to read that

And now you go to Caravan Park. That's even tougher.

Only joking, hope you can pull it off tomorrow.
