To the Magnificent New East Stand 2008
               

               

Welcome to week 13

The link to the Warrior Tower and the tower itself is now starting to emerge from the earth.

It looks to come out to the north a long way reflecting the size the North Stand will be when built.

 
               
Asked how I get all the pictures, the answer is by walking around the site and holding my camera high above my head or looking through gaps. Then I have to spend a bit of time working with Photoshop top make it look right.

As per image on the left you have to take many images to hopefully get one that looks right.
               
However Shaun has come to the rescue.

An Email he sent has offered to escort me onto the site to get images

"........ will you contact me in order that we can facilitate you safe access to the stand and you would also be able to see workers in action."

Which will be great news, should be able to get some great shots. Which will all be protected from copying as all my images are.
               
Just look how far the new reception and office block will come out from the North Stand
               
Getting there
               
The new office block
               
The main South Stand is quite a lot smaller than the new East Stand
               
The standards image
               
Next week this should be great, however I will be at Twickenham, so hope I don't drink too much.
               
This shot shows just how big the mew office and reception block will be.
               
The posts are now in place, when the roof id finished will stand out and be well below the roof line

A wide angle view from the same spot
               
This one was guesswork as I had to hold the camera on a stick up in the air
               
 
               
Taken through a gap in the fence looking north to the new block
               
Same view with a bit of doctoring
               
Same view zoomed in onto the 1st floor standing area behind the seats
               
Zoomed in even further
               
Taken from the South-West corner looking across the pitch

The ground looks absolutely in great nick
