    No problems for me all day. I was wondering if they would make "w a t f o r d" in each of the bays as there are 7 bays and 7 letters.

    It has been difficult to get on there today; but also if they want to do a private training session they have in the past turned the camera off.

    If anybody still doubts the Pozzos' motives, then take a look at how the "East" side of the ground looked in March when the time-lapse started - or before that to the "headless" Main Stand over the last few years.

    Fantastic sight, not too long now, it will also help with the atmosphere with the noise trapped in.

    Good point about the acoustics, Charlie. I thought there was more ground ambience coming over the last time I listened to a home game, and OK they may have had the ground effects mics turned up more, but to me it sounded 'fuller' and not so distant. Just my impression, as someone who does a lot of work with recorded sound.

    Heck, what has landed at 17.15 under the stand? Aliens or could someone have a large birthday cake? ;)

    Morning OFH, looks like the home and away teams managers seating area had been placed either side of the half way line and they had a spotlight behind each which lit them up. I see they have moved them this morning, do you think they will have the spotlights on during evening games when the seats are placed there?

    Morning Charlie, looks like no expense has been spared and they are new dugouts. I did a count up of home seats available for Saturday last night and there were 17 left. Really does look as if the stand is needed.

    Seem to be quite some way apart - won't get any clashes between the benches it seems but might be work for the 4th official.

    Great stuff OFH. This may be down to pricing policy but we're unlikely to know as the next game is Derby which will be a big crowd again.

    All the seats are in, the dugouts installed, then someone switched the sun off and no more pictures. <yikes>

    Last time the dugouts were in place they had a training session and we couldn't get on the site until later. Could be the same

    Season ticket holders likely to be able to transfer to the new stand for the one game on Saturday subject to H&S inspection tomorrow

    The ticket office must be having a nightmare trying to sort out who can move to the new stand and what seats that will free up. This morning there were no seats available, and now there are two in the Rookery. They are earning their corn this week.

    Is the stand considered finished as there are no updates at all now.

    I tried earlier and it's still showing as a sell out. Got them for Derby and cardiff though so still a happy bunny <somersault>

    That's what I'm guesing. They might at least have put 'The End' on one of the black frames.
    Still, it was one of the best, and longest, and slowest moving art-house movies I've ever seen!
