Well, the lift itself is now done. Just a matter of adding all the pieces around the cable skeleton that is up there.Can someone explain this ‘roof lift’ to me? Like why does it take so long, how is it supposed to look once it’s on? I can’t make head nor tail of it.
Is the new East stand the equivalent of the old West stand, in that all the bigwigs will be sitting on that side now?The decision that has backfired on the club was to cap the Wembley prices for WHL East Stand season ticket holders. That way they were faced with the price hike for "like-for-like" this season.

West Stand will still be the main stand in that respect just now the East is more comparable
The East Stand prices look the same as the West Stand, including the expensive £1995 seats at the front of the central upper in blocks 504/505 (East) and 525/527 (West).
The removal of the different pricing is why the THST can claim increases up to 70% as equivalent positions in the East are much more expensive.
They're naive mugs if they weren't paid for it and there's a clear conflict of interest if they were.Why do you think they were paid for the article? And whats the problem if they were (unlikely)?

Earning money by putting out public stories that could damage the reputation or the standing of the club. That's a very clear conflict of interest to me.They were paid, because the Grauniad has to pay CiF contributors for complicated NUJ reasons. The authors donated the money to the Trust. I's difficult to see where the conflict of interest is.
The fee would have been pretty small. GNM pays £310 per kiloword. The article is 800 words, so would have earned just under £250. That's not really enough to corrupt anyone.
Ever been anywhere in South East Asia?
You've replaced the backdrop, but fundamentally it remains the same question.Fair point. Cloake is a UK-based scrivener, though. Chief sub at a customer publishing outfit, with a lot of sidelines to boot, according to his website. Probably wouldn't touch anything new for less than a grand.
He's not like one of the ragamuffins in a Manila basement who are chained to their desks for twenty hour stints populating Toby Alderweireld's social media feed, rewarded for click-throughs and shares with very small bowls of rice. Now, getting one of those benighted kids to put up an anodyne picture that nonetheless causes a Glory-Glory meltdown would cost considerably less than £250 - you're absolutely right on that score.
