hughesie27 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 The pic from the wheatfield gives you a good idea of how the final thing might look. Will be even easier to picture once they finish the steelwork along the entire stand. RIP Castle View. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haken Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Amazing to think that there are only two games left before the old stand is demolished, but great to see the progress on the new one, thanks to all who have posted pictures. That's occurred to me, too. Two more sits to go... ...and careful how you type that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OBE Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Even with the assistance of autoCad software, it's mighty impressive what these professionals can knock together. Millimeter precision and clever orchestrated assembly, I'm always amazed at their capabilities. No artists impression can prepare the hordes for what's yet to be unveiled. HHGH!

Toggie88 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Is the roof at a slightly more acute angle than the Wheatfield? It looks like it but hard to tell on the phone. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk The roof will have far less of a slope on it than the Wheatfield - this is what is allowing the extra 8 rows to be added while maintaining the same height as the other stands.

kaptainkevman Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I've counted 12 rows visible from previous pictures. How many rows is the new stand gonnae have. 35?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if the amount of rows and capacity were final or if there's been wriggle room for more. Anyway, 37 going by the planning designs, but looks like there's only 12 rows in the frame piece they've assembled so far compared to 13 in the initial design.

I.T.K Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 I think a crane that size may have to go back to its depot most nights to refuel I would assume it would be easier to bring the fuel to the crane.

Rudi Hates Hibees Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 (edited) I think a crane that size may have to go back to its depot most nights to refuel Most cranes that size have 2 engines. 1 for driving to and from sites and 1 for the crane part, lifting and moving loads. I'm pretty sure they can use red diesel in the crane engine, so I'd imagine there's on site refuelling.

hughesie27 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 (edited) Definitely only 11 rows there. On the plans image it looks like the missing 12th row at the front will sit directly in line with wall 3. That obviously can't be made yet as the Main stand is in the way. Is the steelwork that forms the front part of the construction the furthest the building will stick out towards McLeod street?
