They've built a temporary (?) ramp up from behind the stand to the road above. If you were a true fan, you'd know that. nws told me Yes but I can't see the crane going down the back, and the temp ramp is aligned with the stand, not behind the stand. Never trust an NWS ... Looked like it was in line with the back of the stand to me. Had a good look at half time, there's a good 10 feet between the back of the stand and the wall.

Well you apparently tell your missus you have 10 inches so there absolutely definitely no room around the back then

Does each step have its own crush barrier? That's pretty unusual; looks like the levels are wide enough to add seats one day. But that means tall ones will need to stand behind shorties and kids in a self-selecting kind of way.

Stand is going to look absolutely fantastic. On Saturday I couldn't help imagining another one at the town end and one along the river side! And yes before anyone points out, this is a long time in the future, but it's nice to dream. It's just great being a part of the journey.

Glanced over at the ground on our way over the bridge today - and it's gone!
PMH was right - sodding owners have sold it just to get the money! There'll be two new Range Rovers in the car park in a few days, mark my words.

Nice to see you keeping the language clean for once. I thought the stewards had banned you from here?

What's the name of this new stand? North West Stand ? If they don't use capitals. Might be a copyright issue. Imagine a stand with that written on it. The temptation for me to remove the letters and make it NWS would be too great. Especially as I don't need a ladder
