You could all stop me from freezing my anatomy off This is where you went wrong with nws - you need a man who actually comes to home games... More to the point I need to come to home games!

Two thirds of the terracing and roof now on. Looking more impressive by the day.
At this rate the stand will look pretty much finished by Saturday (obviously not actually finished, before anyone starts!).

And, judging by Google Earth, the new stand will be almost exactly the same size as the main stand.
And what a view from the top of the terracing! Mind you, this could be a bit of a mixed blessing, the JWW is going to become one of the away supporters' favourite grounds in the NL...

It will be a great viewing area currently I am a main stand season ticket holder who spends half of his time in the town end (better atmosphere/support) but seriously tempted by the look of this new stand

Close, but actually only half. 3 sections out of 6. Two thirds of the terracing and roof now on. Looking more impressive by the day.

Fantastic the benefits of prefabricated construction.

With the terrace being metal i can see it being a bit of a death trap when it rains....quite steep slippery steps + booze = quite a few people falling over! heck even without being half cut i could see people falling over

Yeah, I wasn't sure - my short term memory is shot these days and I wrote that some time after a quick glimpse of the stand. But, ever the optimist, I went for two-thirds! It does look like it's got panels on the roof, though, not just beams as in OB1's picture - although that might be the viewing angle. Whatever, it's going to tower over the pitch!

Fantastic the benefits of prefabricated construction. It is very impressive - nothing appears to happen for weeks, then up it pops! Makes you wonder why they can't get on with it and finish the rest of the stadium. I can't imagine what's holding them up...

It's definitely starting to look impressive. Even better if we eventually get the same at the town end.

I can see the townend being a seated stand if its ever developed For entry to the Football league you need between 1000-1500 seats, with plans to have at least 2000 within a couple of seasons. We currently have 800 plus, so unless we put a decent sized (1200) seated stand along the riverside....any stand at the town end will have to be seated
