Thanks for including the plan there, I was struggling to work out exactly how the bit that's being raised now was going to fit. I am assuming that it's the bit right at the end of the roof, i.e. the inside edge. IF that's right, they still have to erect the connecting struts between it and the top of the stand?

I thought that once the roof assembly had bee raised to the appropriate level the bottom of the support legs would be winched back to the main ring beam and secured.
This is how I understood it, the bottom of the support legs/beams aren't just going to be raised they are also going to be rotated in relation to the top elbow is what I think.

That is extremely pernickity. Upmost is fine surely?

Maybe, if you’re happy about using the wrong word in literature designed to impress. I don’t much care, but it is very sloppy and it is incorrect. Upmost is a different word from utmost. It means something else.

The photo you have posted is from a different stadium and from a lower perspective before the frame work has been angled appropriately to receive the roof, which also appears to be rather different in nature as it looks like it's not catridges in the same way. What I am saying is there isn't a 'crown' which suggests framework on top, there isn't a 'vertical roof' as some people have suggested, because the roof is only lightly angled, there is a frame support structure underneath.

Wembley doesn't use the same approach, but it does have a rood supported by tension cables and frame work, so at the next match sit and check out the structure there. It isn't a million miles away from what we will have, ours will just be circular (oval) rather than running along the length of the roof.

No, it's a perspective thing - that ring is much closer to the camera than the stand, but the fuzzy pic makes it hard to make out - look at the middle and the far left of the lower ring of the struts - it's not on the same arc as the stand behind it, it's much lower than it appears. It's taken some squinting but there's also a ring of steel frames going around the top of the stand, very much like ours.

The perspective combined with the potato-quality really throws that image off in a lot of ways.
