Makes one feel rather inadequate
I don't like this but it looks like the mutha of all fcukers. Don't mess with it.This arrived today.
The pitch will be recycled, so they're getting that done while stripping out anything that's worth keeping. I've read somewhere that the digital signage was going to some cricket club.
Me too.
This arrived today.
My heart actually sank a little

Any demolition experts out there? just wondering why the gargantuan thing which has started to demolish the West Stand appears to be taking quite a delicate approach to it by taking out some of the outside windows? I'd have thought you'd just start with the roof as that would then bring other stuff with it, but still in a controlled manner
Could be they're just opening it up for traffic in and out.
edit:
Looks like the roof is going as well.
Its really cool to have all these pics. Its ones of the first pages I come to when I log in. We are very lucky to have someone who can take good pictures and upload them nearly every day. Thanks so much Jordinho.
When they re-building the East Stand and the North Stand I used to drive past once a week or so to check on the progress. Now we get daily picture updates. Brilliant !!!
Why do you think the West Stand is coming down before the North? I'd have thought they'd prioritise clearing that space first
As someone else said, thanks again for regularly posting these photos.
No expert, but given the proximity of some of the work they've already done, buildings to be retained and materials/equipment, I'd assume a slow, controlled taking apart of the old girl is the best way.
The thanks are for the effort you put in trawling through said websites on our behalf. That said, I'm worried that maybe you have a little too much time on your hands
