    It's mad how quickly these projects progress now.

    Possibly quicker when you're only building half a stadium <laugh>

    As I said the other day, there seems to be a point where once the literal groundwork is done,
    the remainder progresses at an immensely accelerated rate.

    Looks to be all pre-cast so it's a bit like assembling a giant Leggo set. Saves on shuttering/formwork, which is time consuming, and needs to be cast at least 30 days in advance so the concrete can gain enough strength to be moved safely. Less weather delays as well when it comes to the winter, it's not advisable to cast concrete in freezing temperatures. Also factory casting gives a more reliable quality, so the structural engineers can design lighter more slender members. Looks like a lot of thought has gone into it. As an engineer I'm impressed.

    Squawka (so it's safe to stop reading here...) are convinced that Uber will win the naming rights to WHL2, offering £20m a year for the privilege.

    As fun as it will be to play at the Tottenham Uber Alles arena, given how Uber have lost $5bn in the last eighteen months it's safe to assume that they're just a staking horse and somebody else's name will be all over the stadium when it opens.

    Get me a ticket for the first match there. What is the betting it will be a four team tournament involving old adversaries like the former great Italian team, AC Milan?

    The development is similar to the way Athletic built their new San Memes stadium. Good luck in the FA Cup and I hope you meet Arsenal in the final after they knock out Chelsea in the semis!!

    Sounds pretty likely. Maybe Atletico and Anderlecht, for European finals? Not sure about Wolves, though! <laugh>

    I think a foursome = two top European sides, yourselves plus Wolves. (You were reading my mind. Re 1972 or 73, the UEFA Cup Final!!! You beat AC on the way to the final.

    Looks like Pac Man is about to swallow the stadium.

    That is going up seriously fast. Can't help but be totally impressed by how it's taking shape. Let's hope it lives up to expectations. I think it will.
