Although in a recent interview your CEO confirmed the south end is not counted on capacity (theres 1500 gone)

And the golf has front 6 rows open (it'll be gone soon to make way for your sock factory)

You see that is where your arguement fell down.
They don't count it unless they need it.
Unfortunatly for you that still means it is there if needed so TOTAL capacity including everything available is well over 7K excluding the Golf.

Lets not spoil this thread for them eh?

lets see more construction pics

Fair enough just try to avoid posting rubbish in future then.

When is the work behind the goals starting?

Next week, it should be completed before the 25th which is our next home game (after this weekend).

From Andrew Glovers twitter: "If you look in the distance, you can just see the diggers on the North Stand. Should be completed by Catalans game"

Foundations for the North Terrace cover well under way.

Great! Happy with this. Seeing diggers working is a good thing! Some other can't say that.



Should improve the concrete you stand on too as most of it is crumbling away.

Looking at the foundations does it mean we are losing the back 8 or 9 steps?

Perhaps, although if it is built with no cladding like the other one, then I imagine those steps will be covered by rear overhang of the roof (or whatever the technical name for that is!)

I'm fairly sure that the roof does not go all the way to the back of the terracing due to the fact that the floodlights are "hinged" and are drooped along the back to replace the bulbs. The back few rows will therefore have no roof over them.

Judging by the amount of bulbs out at the Bradford match, this is long overdue !!!!!

Weren't the bulbs replaced end of last season?

If they were, we must have got them from the pound shop, 'cos half of them have blown already !!!

Yep, that was one of the first improvements when Glover took over if I remember correctly.

Can't be the bulbs then, must be a problem elsewhere.

The sooner Newmarket gets the go ahead the better

Does the stand not run the full length behind the sticks? Only looks like half on the pics

Can't tell right much from those pics, they've just started it.

I think they will build that half first and move the crane east and build the other half or the crane would be stuck in the middle

would have thought theyd have put the back supports in first, but if thats the case fair enough

Looking at the size of the crane i think they would spend more time moving the crane doing it that way .Would think they will get as much as they can done and move along.I THINK

ABSOLUTELY...AND...WHY DO I IHAVE TO TRY TO PICK MY WAY THOUGH RL fans to get any idea of what is really going on? I would prefer to be reading an up to date news feed on all of this from the club. All we get on the web site is corporate style flim flam and nothing about the nitty gritty that we are all worried about.

You are truly the most negative "fan" on here, get a grip and STOP SHOUTING
