Stadium looks incredible from these pictures. Really really taking shape. First pics from kop end and its looks like its going to be epic.
Should we be worried about Kane's latest interview?
He clearly says that things are moving forward at Spurs including a new stadium in TWO 2 years time
Edward's weekly update.
Looks like there is prep going in for the hotels and accommodation.
The local businesses must be suffering from the drop off in trade on a matchday which must be a massive proportion of their revenue. They have probably had to go into semi hibernation mode.
I have been watching the preparations for the roof to go on with keen interest, especially on the North and West sides. Never seen anything like it before and still can't work out how they will do it.Also noticed 2 key things
i) Flooring being done for Steel south stand, which is a massive progress. This means foundation & steel setting is done for the single tier stand
ii) Trench/Foundation dug along the pitch sideline for the elevated platform for sliding pitch. This means preparation work for sliding pitch is also well underway
As I understand it (from one of my colleagues who worked on our roofing bid) the cable structure will be made at low level then winched in to place and then tightened up, then the the solid structure will follow on top.I have been watching the preparations for the roof to go on with keen interest, especially on the North and West sides.

That is correct, the structure will go up in the cable network, with secondary steel and then the cassettes on top.I'm not 100% certain but believe the solid structure will be made up of a number of roofing 'cassettes'. From what I understand this is the quickest process available.
They were down for maintenance and then back up for about 24hrs and then back down yesterday morning.No live cameras working when I just looked, Haven't checked for a few days have they been off for long ?

Some of the guys in work with me carried out some work on site there not so long back for Vinci I think the firm is called, and they were amazed at how it's going up and the sheer size of it.
Like this?

Oh dear. Fairview Homes. Not exactly the cutting edge of urban design. Lots of cheapo brick boxes with inappropriate pitched roofs and bad detailing. I could quote estates in places like Harlesden and Southgate.
I have an old friend who went from working for housing associations to being Fairview's in-house affordable housing expert. He left Fairview recently, but if anyone gives a shit, I might be able to find out what they are building here. Just ask if you care.
