Are they having to adjust the Trinity or DE stand roofs as part of this as well?  Hard to tell for sure from the drone footage, but it does seem as though expanding back and to the side of the existing structure will mean the roof on those stands will obstruct the view.

The comments in that video state that there are utilities than run under the core of the North Stand so knocking it down would put the build time back ?

I saw something else, I don’t know if it’s relevant.
Aren’t there VAT rules that differ between a complete new build and a renovation ?

Yeah, that’s my barely literate comment. It wouldn’t let me edit.

Cheap lino and burnt grass? Yeah, we're tryna evoke the long hot summer of '76 when Weller honed his craft and the Villa Chippy's three star hygiene rating was just a twinkle in oour Dad's sad Irish eyes.

It was almost black 3 weeks ago. It's been top soiled and reseeded, be good as new in a fortnight.

I recall the Purslow plan involved starting work in January to re-route those utilities before the full rebuild started that summer.
