    True - it's strange how threads often go off at a tangent. <laugh>

    I'm still puzzled as to why the East Stand appears to have a Xmas tree on top of it though...

    They seem to be making a huge sandpit now. Maybe for the family stand?

    The remaining part of the old stand is due to come down next week.

    Good. I know (I hope) that they're pushing on in ways we can't see, but it'll be good to get rid of what is now a sad eyesore.

    But they're not demolishing the Red Lion, are they?

    The outside has not changed since the middle of May. The only movements were skinning the field and the orange digger has moved around a little.

    Not a lot to see ak, but the piling rig was in putting in foundations for the extra two bays, lots of blocks have been going inside for the walls and there appears to be a load of rubble behind the new bit that is being moved out.

    It looks like they are starting to demolish the remaining part of the old stand where the changing rooms are housed. If you zoom in and look you can see the front part of the stand is being taken away

    All the workers have buggers which give them a warning to hide for two minutes when a photograph is made.

    I would need more than 2 minutes notice if a bugger was coming after me! - my knees are not what they used to be!

    I think (not totally sure) it's been like that for ages, it's just more visible now with the cladding off and the green plastic shredding gradually.

    I think that was all caused by Baz trying to escape the Salad brothers...
